To give the newly knitted thing a complete look, you need to carefully tie its edge. At the same time, the knitted fabric will stop twisting, since its edges will become rigid, old thing will acquire completely the new kind. This fairly simple task can be done different ways.

We bring to your attention video tutorials that tell you how to properly tie the edges of knitted products in various ways. It is not difficult to master them, and soon you will be able to give your work beautiful view, which they acquire after strapping.

Very simple edge binding, quite understandable for beginners. The first row is knitted with single crochets, a French mesh is formed in the second and third rows, and fans are arranged on the fourth row, consisting of eight double crochets. This row is the most beautiful. The result is a border with a pattern composed of semicircular elements, the basis of which are connected fans.

For any fabric, it is enough to knit the first initial row, and then you can form a pattern. It makes a good edging for the collars of robes. It is simply sewn to the base material.

Video lesson:

The edge tied in this way becomes even and dense, resembling a pigtail. This method is used to tie armholes and necks, the edges of the sides knitted clothes, created with knitting needles or crochet. This seam strengthens the edges of pockets and scarves. The method got its name because it is not formed in the usual direction from right to left, but vice versa, as if moving backwards.

You can use the same thread for tying with which the thing itself was knitted, but this thread can also be taken in a different color: the colored edging looks neat on any knitted thing, decorating its overall design with an unexpected frame.

Video lesson:

This beautiful finish consists of small pom-poms, each of which is attached to the edge of the material with two posts. It turns out a zigzag pattern, where a neat pompom is located at the top of each zigzag. The pattern looks very nice and smart. It can be used to decorate such large things as knitted blankets, shawls or pillows.

The use of "pompoms" creates a design that complements and highlights the knitted pattern that was used on the base piece. For all the apparent complexity of the pattern, it is created very simply and quite accessible even for beginners.

Video lesson:

This method of tying the edge of knitted items is extremely simple, but looks impressive. Of the four columns without a crochet, a small bead is formed, dense and neat. A number of such beads, located close to each other, can decorate tightly knitted products, but they can also be suitable for patterned blankets or shawls.

Tying is not necessarily done along a straight edge; you can also tie curved surfaces, and even wavy edges. The resulting volumetric edge trim looks very nice if it is made in a different color, contrasting with the color of the main knitting thread.

Video lesson:

If there is a desire not only to strengthen the edges of a knitted item with a strapping, but to decorate them with an interesting pattern, try this knitting option. Their interlacing is formed with simple columns, and a pattern is obtained with arches and openings, repeated in two tiers.

For all the complexity of the pattern, getting it is quite simple - you just need not to get confused in the alternation of loops and in the arrangement of repeating columns. The pattern can be based on a completely arbitrary type of knitted loops, any knitted thing can be edged with it, regardless of whether it was crocheted or knitted. It will still turn out beautiful.

Video lesson:

Five columns with one crochet, knitted in the same loop, form a small neat shell in which the loops make up the edge, and the columns form fan-shaped waves, as in a real shell. This is simple and interesting way how to crochet the edge of a product, giving the edge of any knitted item an interesting look.

It is especially impressive if the shells are knitted from a thread of a different color than the main product, the resulting contrasting pattern perfectly frames any knitting. Even if the product is received by the most in a simple way knitting, its edging in a similar way gives it an interesting unusual look.

Video lesson:

It is proposed to tie the edge with a crochet hook for napkins or handkerchiefs in several versions. Napkins can be any, linen or silk, depending on the thickness of the fabric and the thickness of the thread used for edging. It is quite possible to use bobbin thread number 20-30 to match the tone of the napkin or in a contrasting color.

The handkerchief is cut out of the fabric strictly in the direction of the threads. One centimeter from each edge, one thread is pulled out, and for the resulting grooves we begin to make the strapping. A chain of loops is created along the edge of the napkin, which become the basis of the pattern created from the threads.

Video lesson:

Periodically turning the knitting over and using the instructions for creating the pattern, we get a rather thick cord along the edge of the knitted item, resembling a caterpillar in appearance. A method of knitting such a pattern is also proposed without turning over the entire work, with intercepting the hook, which is convenient if an overall shawl or bedspread is knitted, which are inconvenient to turn over.

It tells in detail how to get a "caterpillar" on indirect, rounded knit edges, both convex and concave. In this way, sleeves, collars, the lower edge of the product and even the edges of caps are tied. It turns out a very decorative pattern.

Video lesson:

A small pattern is knitted from half-columns, fixed on every third loop of the row, and two loops are skipped. The result is a border of repeating small semicircles, following one after another. This border can also be knitted in a circle, detailed instructions are also given for this.

A large border will not come in handy for every thing, but still I want to somehow improve appearance. In this case, a small border turns out to be ideal, which can be knitted from the same thread as the thing itself, or from yarn in a contrasting color. It is quite possible to decorate even a patterned knitted thing with such a border.

Video lesson:

We offer a master class on knitting borders. In every third loop of the thing being tied, a set of columns is made, which forms small neat semicircles. It turns out a simple, but very nice edging with a pattern of small semicircles.

This pattern can edging both solid and patterned knits, organize the edges of plaids and shawls, sweaters and cardigans. It will add grace and airiness to any pattern of the main fabric, harmonizing perfectly with any base knitting pattern. The border has a wave width of three loops, is not too conspicuous and serves as a modest decoration.

Crocheting is such a vast art that even tying the edges of a variety of products allows you to choose from many possible options. Moreover, details such as crochet a border can give a simple thing, like the most ordinary dress or blouse, an elegant sophisticated look, or, conversely, turn into a ridiculous-looking product that you don’t want to wear, even if it turns out to be the only one in your wardrobe. Therefore, it is so important to learn how to combine crochet styles and successfully apply them in the details that play their role in shaping the style - the edges of the crochet product.

Tablecloths, handkerchiefs, napkins, towels, curtains, sleeves and the neck of any component of the wardrobe will look completely new if you choose the right pattern for crocheting the edge. By the way, this technique is also used if there is a need to “hide” the craftswoman’s mistakes, which can be easily seen with the naked eye on the edges of the products. And also finishing the edge with different knitted patterns that can give a second life to any old little thing that you don’t want to part with at all.

Crocheting the edge of the product - diagrams and description

Choosing the right pattern on the border is already half the battle. This issue has its own subtleties that are important to consider when choosing a pattern for the edge of the product:

• narrow border (up to 1.5 cm) - suitable for light knitted items with openwork motifs, and also ideal for children's clothing;
• Border that passes into the collar (5-8 cm or 15-20 cm) - goes with most knitwear.
• Wide trim pattern (1.5 - 4.5 cm) - looks good on products made of yarn of medium thickness, namely, on the edges of the sleeves and the neck of jumpers and pullovers.

A beautiful pattern along the edge can be knitted directly when creating the whole thing - then you don’t have to suffer by fitting the openwork ribbon to the product, but you can sew on the finished border by tying it in advance. Here the choice is quite simple.

But the options for patterns for tying the edges provide much more space. So what are possible options do needlewomen have trims and decorations for the edge of a knitted product?

• crayfish step

Popular articles:

The most favorite crocheting option among beginner knitters is the crochet step, consisting of single crochets that are knitted from left to right: starting to the right of the working loop. This pattern allows you to maintain the original shape of the canvas, preventing the edge from stretching. This method of tying the edges also has its own varieties.

step from left to right

The hook is inserted into the first loop on the right and a single crochet is knitted. Insert the hook into next loop on the right and knit a single crochet again. And so on to the end of the row.

step from right to left

This option of tying the edges is considered more complex, but also more familiar. With the working loop on the hook, insert the hook into the loop on the left and grab the working thread. Pull up the thread and with both loops on the hook, turn the nose of the hook counterclockwise (see diagram above). After twisting the loops on the hook, yarn over and pull it through both loops on the hook. With one working loop on the hook, insert the hook into the loop on the left (moving away from you) and grab the working thread. Pull out the loop. After twisting the loops on the hook again, yarn over and pull it through both loops on the hook. Continue in the same way. The resulting rad should look something like this.

• Pico

Pico tying consists in chains of several air loops closed in a circle - from three or more. These loops are ideal for tying cuffs and sleeves.

A number of pico perform on front side products. Chain 1, skip first single crochet, work 1 single crochet into next single crochet. Work a chain of 4 stitches, then single crochet into the first stitch of this chain to make a picot. Work 1 single crochet into each of the next 2 single crochets. Continue knitting picot and 2 single crochets around the edge of the product in the same way. There are also several other options for knitting pico (see diagram above).

• Arched harness or Shell

The pattern is obtained by knitting loops of different heights with the highest loop in the center. The shell can be done in a row, bollarded single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet. The binding is performed on the front side of the product. Chain 1, single crochet 1 into the next stitch. Skip 1 st, work 1 half double crochet, 3 double crochets and 1 half double crochet - all in the next loop. Skip 1 st and single crochet 1 into the next st to secure the edge of the shell. Continue tying the edge of the product with shells in the same way.

• Border of decorative openwork patterns

Here, the form and all kinds of schemes are not limited by anything but the imagination and capabilities of the knitter. There are so many crochet options. openwork border from the simplest to the incredibly complex. Often they are crocheted separately from the entire product and then sewn to the desired edges. Consider several schemes and how to use them on different things.

Neck strapping

Very often, needlewomen are looking for ways to crochet the neck of a sweater or sweater so as to hide the open cuts of the product, and at the same time, the thing has acquired a more interesting and special look. There are many ways to do this, you just have to choose from dozens of schemes the most appropriate strapping style. Consider a few examples of how to beautifully crochet a neck to improve the look of a knitted thing and not ignore the principle of completeness.

• Quick neck tying

This step by step design suitable for beginners and those needlewomen who do not have time to perform more complex neck processing. It turns out beautiful and simple.

A knitted product can be decorated with a neck made in a circle, or the ends of the neck can be joined with a seam.

We take the finished fabric and crochet from the wrong side of the working thread, pull the loop to the front side.

Thus, we collect several loops on the hook. Important: the loops must not be cast on loosely.

Then these loops are thrown onto the knitting needle, after which we continue to dial loops with the hook. We pull the loop with a hook, transfer it to the knitting needle, etc.

Loops are set. Now we knit the first row in such a way that there are front loops from the inside, and purl loops in the front row. If we knit the neck in a circle - we knit the wrong loops. If with a seam - facial.

If you want to achieve a “factory effect” of connecting the collar with the product, we knit the first row with knitting needles as follows: on the wrong side of the product, the first row is knitted with facial loops (the loops will be purl on the front side), and then the first row on the front side looks like the collar is pinned needle.

According to the first knitting option of the first row, the following result is obtained:

Then we knit the neck of the desired length. If this is a loop lapel, close it with knitting needles or crochet, if desired. If it is a stand-up collar, it is better to close the loops with a needle.

• Nice neck finish

This is also a simple crochet option for a beautiful edge, in which the most difficult and important thing is to correctly calculate the rapport of the pattern.

The height of the rapport is the width of the bar. The width of the rapport is the number of loops by which the number of loops of the entire length of the neck is divided without a remainder. For example: plank height 16 rows. 16/2=8. Rapport cannot be less than 8 loops. On 8 loops we will have an openwork decker.

In this case, the neck is 180 loops. The rapport of 12 loops 180:12=15 was determined by the selection method. 15 repetitions of rapport.

It is better to have 2 additional loops for stitching the strap. In my case, this is not the case, but the difference in the neck pattern on the shoulder line is not noticeable.

You need to knit according to the following scheme, in which only odd rows are indicated:

• floral pattern

The pattern for tying is a bush of a chain in three air loops and two double crochets. It is knitted from one point - the base of the chain. The bushes are fixed with a half-column at a certain distance from each other (for example, in two loops of the fixing row of the neck). At the beginning of the row, make one air loop for lifting. Follow the pattern.

Nice sleeve finish

Often, crocheting the sleeve is done in the same pattern as the neckline - in this way, the item is aged in uniform style, which means it looks harmonious. Let's try to knit a few simple patterns.

• Sleeve scallops

First of all, dial a chain of 5 air loops.

Insert the hook under the cast on chain, grab the working thread and pull up the loop.

Grab the working thread again and knit the elongated loop. This is how the first single crochet was obtained, knitted from under the chain, and 2 loops remained on the hook.

Knit the elongated loop, another loop will be added to the hook.

When there are 11 loops on the hook, grab the working thread and knit through all the loops from the hook.

Now secure the scallop by single crochet, stepping back 3 loops from the beginning of the scallop. Scallop to end of row following step by step photo.

It is necessary to work according to the following scheme:

• Large lace border

At the beginning of the row, knit an air loop. Insert the hook under the nearest braid of the edge to be tied. Knit a single crochet. Knit the air loop again.

Insert your hook into the front loop of the upper braid of the single crochet knitted earlier and then insert the hook into the left side loop of the same single crochet. Insert the hook under the nearest braid of the edge to be tied. Pull out the loop. Pick up the thread and knit a single crochet. You need to repeat from 4 to 8 points. The result is such a binding of the edge, which, due to its elasticity, will not tighten the bottom of the product.

Product bottom

You can crochet the bottom of the product with the most different ways, but we will consider one of the easiest options, and more complex and beautiful way strapping, suitable not only for knitted items, but also for towels, tablecloths and other material products.

• Binding the bottom of the Pico item

Along the edge of the product, start knitting with two single crochets.
Next do 3 air loops and guide the hook into the base of the single crochet as shown in the photo. Then double crochet again and 3 chain stitches after them.

• floral border

A row with a floral motif is knitted as follows: ch 3. lifting, 3 CCH in the first arch from the vp, 1 CCH in the next arch. We begin to knit a flower: ch 3, 3 unfinished dc on one loop of the base, knit all loops on the hook = 1st petal. 4 ch, remove the hook from knitting, insert into the upper part of the connected group of columns from right to left, grab last loop chains and drag it through all the loops = a ringlet.

Next petal: *ch3, dc 2 in ring, ch3, sc in ring* (= 2nd petal), repeat from * to * 2 more times. Last petal: ch 3, 3 unfinished dc, work through all loops on the hook (= 5th petal). The flower is ready.

3 CCH through one arch of the previous row, 1 CCH into the next arch, and we begin to knit the next flower.
