How to wrap loops when knitting. How to knit short rows with knitting needles without holes. Round pieces made in a short row

Knitting in short rows, or partial knitting, is very often used in various products where it is required to knit an uneven edge: shoulder bevel, raglan line, wedges on the beret, tucks, etc. Therefore, we suggest watching a master class in the technique of making short rows with photos, diagrams and video. And to consolidate the result, consider the description of the manufacture of the bandage by the method of partial knitting. Beginning needlewomen, faced with partial knitting, often make some mistakes, as a result of which holes appear on the product at the junction of lines of different lengths.

How to knit short rows with knitting needles

The master class is conducted using a small sample, on which three methods of partial knitting will be performed. Which one to choose, everyone decides for himself.

Crocheted short row

The first method of partial knitting is yarn over, for convenience, short rows are knitted with a thread of a different color.

1. So, a sample of arbitrary size is made. Knit right side in the chosen color for short rows, not reaching the end of the stitch.

2. The work is turned and a crochet is made. Then the wrong side is knitted to the beginning, while the hem is not performed.

3. In the next row, when knitting a crochet, the next loop after it is captured and one knot is made from them. Thus, the hole on the canvas is closed due to the unfinished row.

4. If you need to make a shortened row on the wrong side, then the same procedure is first performed: the line goes to the turn, knitting unfolds, yarn is made and work continues on the other side.

5. In the top line, the yarn is also knitted together with the next loop, but it must first be unfolded. If this is not done, then the pattern on the other side will be damaged, and so the yarn will go unnoticed, which is clearly visible when knitting in a different color.

6. You can also swap the yarn over and the next loop - the result will be the same.

Rows with twisted loops

The second method of partial knitting involves entwining an extreme loop.

1. A line is knitted to the right place.

2. Then the outermost of the untied loops is transferred to the right knitting needle, the thread before work, and the outermost loop is wrapped around this thread between the knitting needles. Then the entwined knot returns to the left knitting needle, the knitting turns.

3. Work continues on the other side.

4. The twisted loop is knitted in this way: the right knitting needle is inserted into the loop in front under the wrapping thread, grabs it and knits everything together (the diagram is proposed below).

5. On the wrong side, everything is done by analogy with the front: the extreme loop is transferred, wrapped around with a thread and returned back.

6. The difference is only in knitting the twisted loop: with the right knitting needle, the twisted loop is threaded from behind along with the main one, everything is put on the left and knitted together. This is clearly seen in the diagram below.

Removing loops

The third way is to remove the loop, as a hem, after turning the loose row.

Those. the line does not go to the end, it turns to the other side, one loop is removed, like an edge loop and without knitting. Further work continues on the drawing.

For those who want to visually get acquainted with the technique of partial knitting, we suggest watching a video on this topic.

Round pieces made in a short row

Such knitting is simply indispensable in knitting napkins, rugs and kitchen potholders.

Hello dear friends!

We continue to improve our knitting skills, and now we will talk about short rows. In general, this topic is quite extensive, but today we will specifically talk about how to knit short rows with knitting needles without holes.

So why do we need short rows? Most often they are used in two cases:

1. When you need to get bevels or curved lines in the form of a knitted fabric. For example, beveled shoulder lines, rounded necklines, pockets of a certain shape, rounded corners of the shelves, separately knitted yokes, collars, etc.
2. When you need to get a bulge on a knitted fabric. For example, a horizontal tuck, the heel of a sock, when performed using the boomerang method.

And the meaning of performing shortened rows, or, as they say, partial knitting, is that with this method, the formation of a bevel or a curved line in the form of a knitted fabric does not occur due to the fact that the loops are reduced or closed, but due to knitting in incomplete rows.

The hinges remain open! And this allows you to either continue knitting on open loops, as if nothing had happened (if you need to get a bulge), or carefully connect individual parts for open loops using a knitted seam, which looks much more aesthetic and does not create thick seams, as with conventional stitching .

In this article I will talk in detail about one of the ways to knit short rows - using yarn.

Performing short rows with the use of crochets

In order to make it easier to figure it out, consider the technology for making short rows on a knitted part. stocking stitch. Depending on which side of the knitted fabric you need to make short rows for bevels, the execution methods are slightly different.

Short rows on the left side

To get short rows on the left side of the knitted fabric, at the end of the front row we do not knit a few loops. The number of loops depends on the steepness of the bevel or on the shape of the recess (in the case of making, for example, an armhole line).

Let, for example, we will leave 3 loops untied each time at the end of the row. Let me show you this with a small example.

First, we knit, as usual, a straight fabric. Then, at the end of the front row, we do not knit the last 3 loops, that is, we simply leave them on the left knitting needle (in the photo you see 4 loops on the left knitting needle, since the 4th loop is edge, it is not included in our calculation):

We turn the work to the wrong side. At the beginning of the row we do yarn over on the right needle, continue to knit the row to the end.

Again we knit the front row, and again we do not knit at the end of 3 loops.

We turn knitting, we make a crochet, we knit a row to the end:

We do this every time until we make the required number of shortened rows, leaving 3 loops on the knitting needle at the end of the front rows. We get such a beveled canvas with open loops:

The number of loops has increased due to yarn. Having knitted the next front row, we will even out the number of loops and at the same time, with the help of the same crochets, we will hide the holes.

We do so. We knit the front row to the first yarn over and knit this yarn over together with the loop following it, with the front loop behind the front walls (this is important, because if you knit the loop together with the yarn in a different way, then the yarn will be on top and it will be noticeable that we to nothing).

We do the same with the following yarns. With this method of making shortened rows, the holes in the knitted fabric are almost invisible:

For even greater clarity, I continued knitting in a different color - there really are no holes!

Short rows on the right side of the knitted fabric

The execution principle is the same as described above. Only now you need to leave the loops at the end of the purl rows untied. We will, as in the previous example, leave 3 loops at the end of each wrong side row (the first time 4 together with the edge).

Knitting is turned to the front side. Before the start of the row on the right knitting needle, we make a crochet:

So we do the required number of times. After that, on the front side, this is what happens:

When you need to continue knitting on all loops, in the purl rows, having reached the first yarn, we remove it on an auxiliary knitting needle and leave it in front of the work. We remove the next loop on the right knitting needle, leave the thread in front of the work.

Slip the yarn over onto the left knitting needle and return the removed stitch to the left knitting needle.

Attention! The yarn over should be in front of the loop when viewed from left to right! That is, in fact, we swap the yarn and the loop following it.

We knit the yarn over and the removed loop together with the wrong loop. We do the same with other crochets. Here is what we get by knitting this purl row to the end:

And this is the front side. Again, as you can see, they did without holes:

Often in knitted patterns there is a description when it is necessary that one side of the knitted product is longer than the other. Then they resort to knitting short rows, that is, rows not knitted to the end. To make the row shortened, turn the work before the row ends, and turning, again knit the same loops that were just knitted. As a result, there are many more rows on one side of the canvas than on the other. This technique is otherwise called partial or rotary knitting. At the proposed master class, you can study this technique in detail.

Partial knit method or short rows

Figure 1 shows a scheme for knitting an undercut, when shortened rows are knitted on one side, such rows are made for darts on women's blouses, on the back of children's trousers, when knitting berets and flared skirts. Figure 2 shows a diagram of shortened rows on both sides of knitting. Such rows are knitted to obtain convex parts of the product, for example, to give a characteristic shape to the heels on the toes. Here, in each shortened row, they knit one loop less and then, in order to "turn the heel", they knit one loop more in each row until they pick up the original clean loops.

When, when turning the work, all the loops are knitted on top of each other, holes are formed between the loops. They can be left as part of the pattern if this pattern is openwork, or hidden by applying the knitting method described below with entwined loops.

How to make short rows in the front row and hide the holes:

1. Knit facial threads to the turning point. Without knitting, slip the next stitch onto the right needle, as in knitting, and bring the thread forward to the right side of the work between the knitting needles (Fig. 3).

2. Move the removed loop back to the left knitting needle, and transfer the thread back and keep it at work, as with facial knitting. Turn the work as if you have knitted to the end of the row. The removed loop will be wrapped around and there will be a long constriction around it (Fig. 4). Then knit with purl stitches.

When you knit the front loops over the turn and the loop with the constriction on the next row, you must knit the front loop along with the constriction. In more detail, this will be done as follows: knit the fabric to a twisted loop, then pass the right knitting needle under the constriction along with the loop (Fig. 5) and knit them together.

How to make short rows in the purl row and hide holes:

1. Knit the purl stitches to the point of rotation without knitting, then re-shoot the next loop on the right knitting needle, as in purl knitting, and transfer the thread forward to the front side of the work between the knitting needles (Fig. 6).

2. Transfer the removed loop back to the left knitting needle, and transfer the thread back and keep it at work, as with facial knitting, then turn the work, as if you had knitted it to the end of the row. The removed loop will be wrapped around and there will be a long constriction around it (Fig. 7). Next, knit with purl stitches.

When you purl over the turn and over the overstitch on the next row, you insert the right needle behind the back wall of the loop formed by the thread and move it to the left needle. Then we knit the wrong loop together with the constriction.

Such short rows can also be used for "horizontal arrows" (Fig. 9), shoulder or other bevels (Fig. 10) and when joining parts of different densities (Fig. 11).

"Horizontal Arrows"(Fig. 9)

This is a handy opportunity to apply the skill of knitting short rows to give the details of the garment a more form-fitting or simply original shape. To do this, you need to knit from the edge of the canvas, i.e. from the side seam to the tip of the "arrow". Then turn and knit to the third or fourth loop (depending on the angle) from the edge of the fabric. Knit in this way and in each front row, knitting each time 3-4 loops further from the side seam, until you get an "arrow" of the desired depth. Then knit on all loops.

Shoulder bevels (Fig. 10)

Also formed using short rows. If you close all the loops in several ways, without knitting to one of the edges, the edge of the fabric on the shoulder section will turn out to be stepped. To prevent this from happening, you can turn the work in front of the loops that need to be closed for the shoulder bevel, then repeat this procedure in each row in which the loops are closed. As a result, all the loops form a bevel and will be on the knitting needle, now they can be closed in one step.

Connect parts(Fig.11)

Knitted in patterns with rows of different densities, short rows will help. For example. you can easily connect a garter stitch placket with a stocking stitch cardigan front. You will have to work six rows of garter stitch for every four rows of stocking. When you finish the row at the end of the garter stitch, you need to turn and knit with a garter stitch, then turn again and knit the stitches of the garter stitch with the front loops, turn again and in the reverse row knit them also with the front ones. After that, continue to knit on all the loops of the product.

Master class knitting short rows:

In order to master the techniques of non-binding ( short row knitting), pick up 30 loops on the knitting needles and knit several rows with the front surface (stocking stitch). Starting from the front side, knit 25 loops for the first time, leaving 5 loops on the left knitting needle (do not knit). Then the 5th loop, counting from left to right, is removed on the right knitting needle, leaving the working thread in front of this loop, the working thread is passed between the ends of the right and left knitting needles from front to back and the 5th loop is returned to the left knitting needle, wrapping around it. Flip the knit to the wrong side and knit the row to the end.

Wrapping the front loop when knitting with shortened and enlarged rows

In subsequent rows on the front side, the 10th, 15th, 20th and 25th loops are wrapped in the same way with a working thread, counting from left to right. When all the loops located on the left knitting needle are not knitted, it is necessary to knit a common front row. When knitting loops that have been twisted, the end of the right knitting needle is directed from the bottom up under the wrapping thread and into the loop, the working thread is grabbed and the main loop is knitted with the front loop together with the wrapping thread. After knitting the general front row, the twisting threads remain on the wrong side and are invisible from the front side.

Knitting the main loop together with the wrapping thread of the front loop

When knitting short rows on the wrong side, the wrong loops are wrapped around the working thread in the same way. as well as facial ones. When knitting a common purl row, the thread that wraps around the loops is grabbed by the end of the right knitting needle from the front side, put on the left knitting needle and knitted together with the main purl loop.

Knitting the main loop together with the wrapping thread of the purl loop

Knitting in extended rows explained in the following example. For the sample, 25 loops are cast on the knitting needles and several rows are knitted in stocking stitch. Starting from the front side, a smaller number of loops is knitted for the first time, for example 4 loops, and the 5th is wrapped around in the same way as described in the case of knitting in short rows. Turn the knit on the wrong side and knit the loops on the wrong side (there will be 4 loops). Then 9 loops are knitted on the front side and the 10th is wrapped around, while the 5th loop, which was wrapped with a working thread in the previous row, is knitted together with a wrapping thread. After wrapping around the 10th loop, turn the knitting to the wrong side and knit the row to the end. In the same way, all subsequent front rows are knitted, increasing each by 5 loops. Knitting with increased rows on the wrong side is performed in the same way as on the front side, raising the twisting thread in the same way as when knitting with short rows.

In order to feel like a professional in the art of knitting, certain knowledge is required. Only in the case when all requirements are met, the thing will fit perfectly on the figure. One of the techniques that allow you to beautifully design details is knitting in short rows. Craftswomen create real masterpieces with the help of short rows.

This technique is used with knitting needles in several cases:

In the descriptions, you can find some more names for this method, which can be misleading for beginners. The term short rows can be replaced by the concepts of "partial knitting" and "turning knitting".

In any case, you need to remember that this is one and the same technique. If we analyze these names, we will become clear that when working, the next row (hereinafter referred to as R.) will be made a little shorter than the previous one. Or so - in the future you need to knit part of the previous one. The rest of the loops remain untied. It should be noted that the technique of the partial method also includes increased R. But in this article we will consider only the first option.

Practical implementation

A master class with step-by-step explanations or a video can help you understand the new way of shortened R.. The meaning of the method is that a curved line, bevel or bulge on the canvas occurs by knitting incomplete rows without decreasing and closing the loops with knitting needles. All untied loops remain open. Work continues further, as usual, if a bulge is provided on the canvas. In another case, separately connected parts can be neatly connected. For this, a knitted seam is used, which preserves the aesthetics of the connection.

Partial knitting methods

Partial knitting can be done in several ways. The first one, which we will consider, is performed with the help of crochets. First, the place where the shortened rows will be performed is determined:

The first R. - facial. We turn the fabric, make a crochet, then we knit until the turn. On the front side, we begin to shorten. We return the number of loops to the original value - we knit the first loop and yarn over together with the front one:

If shortened R. are needed on the wrong side, do this:

Yarn over, then front R. Turn the fabric, knit purl to yarn over.

To make the junction invisible, you need to remove the crochet on the right knitting needle and be sure to turn the next purl. We return the yarn over to the left knitting needle and knit it together with the expanded loop. If it is not deployed, then the pattern on the front side of the canvas will be violated:

The second way is partial knitting with a twisted loop. Having reached the marked place of the turn, we remove the next loop after the mark on the right knitting needle. Behind it, we stretch the working thread forward, then return the loop to its original place. Now we turn the canvas and continue to work. We start the next front like this.

Now consider this method from the inside out. Having reached the right place, remove the next loop and start the working thread behind the canvas:

Turn knitting. The main working thread is positioned as usual for work. When in the process we reach the twisted loop, it needs to be turned and, now two together behind the back wall:

Made by the simplest method

To choose the most acceptable method, you need to familiarize yourself with all the possible ones. In this case, a uniform decrease in the number of loops is made (in our example, 3 each). We knit to the place of the turn, leaving the calculated number (3) unbound, turn the knitting and perform the second R. to the end. Turn again - and now 6 remain untied. Next time - 9, and so on. The result is a smooth bevel that looks very neat.

Any master class on this topic clearly explains this method. It remains only to choose a convenient option.

Knitting has become global in recent years. And if some 15-20 years ago it was predominantly older people who were fond of it, now on YouTube channels you can find a lot of videos with lessons filmed by young girls and even men.

All passed knitting techniques at school labor lessons. But over time, school knowledge is forgotten. But the desire to find a hobby to your liking only grows. Knitting is a great hobby and a way to relax with benefits. In addition, it does not require serious costs and often has practical applications.

There are many ways of knitting and patterns, many But how to make this activity more productive and unusual? The technique of short rows will help to solve this problem. So let's get started.

Short rows: concept

Let's start in order. Short rows are rows that are not fully knitted. What does it mean? This type of knitting is also called partial. In cases where knitting needs to be given a certain shape, this method is indispensable. Also, short rows help to do the job beautifully. No holes. Shortened rows with knitting needles allow you to forget about the need to knit a whole row to the end.

What else? The point of creating short rows is that they are not knitted to the end. That is, knitting is turned over to the other side and continues to knit in the same direction. It turns out that the wrong side is knitted in the same way as the front. The main thing is not to make holes, for which there are several simple ways.

Short rows: application

Let's continue to study the process. The importance of short rows for knitting cannot be overestimated. They often help model the finished product. And also make changes to the finished canvas if necessary. Short rows are used in the following cases:

1. Execution of shirt-fronts and collars of sweaters.

2. Knitting various hats, berets. Since they differ in shape and are often elongated in one place and shortened in another. What happens? Only short rows are able to cope with this task. And that's not it.

3. Darts can also be made with partial rows. This is especially true for women. Often you have to bandage ready-made things, since it is incredibly difficult to fit them to the figure. And here short rows come to the rescue.

4. Widely used for hat visors.

5. Toes of mittens and heels of socks are made using partial rows.

6. In addition, when lowering armholes, knitted short rows without holes will also come in handy.

7. Need to get an asymmetrical item? When knitting, short rows are also used.

8. Slanted shoulder lines, round and oval neckline for your favorite jumper just need to be decorated with such knitting.

9. Many needlewomen use this technique for decorative purposes.

If we describe the need for partial knitting in a nutshell, it is used in cases where it is necessary to make bevels, or, conversely, to make some part of the product more convex. In addition, this technique allows you to make short rows with knitting needles without holes.

Several loops can be left unfinished in any part of the row: only on one side, in the middle, along the edges. All this depends only on the purpose of the product and on the imagination of the one who performs this work.

There are several techniques for making short rows. What? It is worth noting that short rows can be performed using knitting needles and a hook. Let us dwell in more detail on the technique of making short rows without holes with knitting needles.

Knitting technique

To begin with, it is worth noting that it is better for beginners to sketch for themselves a diagram or drawing of execution and stick to it in order not to go astray. Or you can use ready-made drawings.

The general principle of knitting short rows with knitting needles is that each new row is not knitted a certain number of times in relation to the previous row for an equal number of loops. That is, if the difference between the first and second row is two loops, then the difference between the second and third should be two loops. We can say that each time a step is taken in two loops.

If the rows are not knitted in the middle, then skip the number of loops according to the same principle. If two loops were skipped in the second row, then four loops should be skipped in the third, six loops should be skipped in the fourth row, and already eight loops in the fifth. Each time we remove two loops (one on each side). That is, we take a kind of step in two loops.

How to knit short rows, hiding holes?

Having considered the technique of knitting, we proceed to execution. What to do? We knit shortened rows according to the general principle, focusing on the fact that you need to shorten the work along the edge.

Yarn over

1. We knit the first row as usual, as if it were a direct work.

2. Next, you need to knit another one (excluding the required number of loops). It is necessary to remove the extreme loop and transfer it to another knitting needle like knitting, while not knitting (this will be the edge loop). Then you need to transfer the thread between the knitting needles to the front side of the knitting. We turn over the future product.

3. Inverted knitting is knitted again with facial loops to the end. We turn over and knit again, without tying the required number of loops. Following the example of the first paragraph, we remove the loop and continue to knit, turning the fabric over to the end, we turn the knitting again.

That is, we knit each next row in one direction, unfinished by several loops. The number of loops increases with the help of crochets. Due to the same crochets - we hide holes. You need to do the work carefully to avoid holes in the canvas.

Short rows can be done both on the right side and on the left. And also in the middle. According to this principle, all shortened rows are knitted without holes inside the fabric. Smaller needles make this look much easier.

There is another way to knit without holes. Note.

Tight loop method

1. As with the yarn over method, first you need to knit the front row to the turn point.

2. Turn the fabric and remove the loop as for the wrong side.

3. Then you need to bring the thread up from you and pull it so hard that two half-loops become visible.

4. After that, it is necessary to knit the purl and front row with loops, and, having reached the stretched thread, inserting the knitting needle, knit it with the front loop. Pull the working thread.

5. From the wrong side, you need to do the same: first, knit to the point of turning with facial loops.

6. Remove the loop and knit as a purl. Next, you need to transfer the working thread away from you over the knitting needle and pull it.

7. In the next purl row, knit the thread with a purl loop.

These are the two main, best known and most commonly used techniques for partial knitting without holes. In addition to a straight fabric, there are a large number of ways to use partial knitting. One of them is that the hole must be made in the middle of the product. Most often this method is used for the neck of jumpers. There are thousands of variations in the design of the neck. So, let's consider the general provisions on how to knit short rows correctly when making a round neckline of a jumper, in more detail.

Advantages of knitting in short rows inside the fabric

Now a more difficult moment. Having figured out how to knit short rows without holes with knitting needles, you can continue. That is, you can go to short rows with a hole. What does it mean? When using this type of short rows, it becomes possible to create a round neckline, and there is no need to fasten the loops, and there is no need to pick up new loops along the edge, which greatly simplifies the process of knitting itself and mastering the technique. It also just frees up time. We knit short rows inside the fabric.

Partial knitting technique inside the fabric

In order to fulfill the intended product, it is necessary to mark the middle of the neckline for the knitted product and the width. We begin to gradually retreat from the edge a certain number of loops. For example, if the cutout is 20 loops wide, then you can not dial four loops in the first row (two on each side), eight loops in the second (four on each side), and twelve loops in the third (six on each side). That is, increase the indent each time by two loops. After each row, the work must be turned over and double crochet, then dial the wrong side. It is necessary to continue in this way until the width mark is reached. It is worth clarifying that each yarn over and front loop must be knitted together in order to close the loops.

Shortened rows with knitting needles: scheme

Finally, an important addition. For example, a simple knitting pattern using the technique of short rows is presented.

So, everything is very simple. Dare! Good luck!
