Stretchable hem for corded examples of hems 1/1

The 3 pictures show overhead the 3 coordinated passes for this hem. Firstly knit with needles, which are 1mm fixer as this, which you like to knit the corded hem, casting on the half of the stitches + 1 (easy noose casting on, page 14) and knit 6 rows even right. Now pick up the same number of stitches -1 with the smaller knitting needle from the casting on of this work (without knitting there). Currently combine this knitted fabric that the both knitting needles were adjoined (even right lie outside). Knit with the 2nd smaller needle of the work as follows, beginning at the front side: * Knit 1 S from the thicker needle right. Knit 1 S left from the smaller knitting needle (which lay in the back). Repeat it from *, ending with 1 S from the thicker needle. All the stitches are on a smaller knitting needle and now you can knit the corded example 1/1 of a hem farther.

Simple hem

Begin with a simple noose casting on (see on page 14), because it is very fine and it is fewest flamboyant. Knit a number of rows right accordant on the desired width of the hem and knit the real garment further. At the finishing will be draw a different colored basting thread in duplicate hem width through the row of stitches. Sew with the wool thread to the left side changed hem and indeed the casting on stitches with hem stitches at the line of stitches, which is with basting thread designed.

Little honey hem

It is an adorable hem, especially used for short dresses for babies and children, because it affects so cute. Begin with a simple noose casting on (see on page 14) and knit even right a number of rows of the desired width of the hem and after 2 rows as follows:

1. Row: 1 edge – S, * 1 loop, knit 2 stitches right together, repeat it from * over the whole row, at last 1 edge stitch. 2. Row: Cast off all stitches and loops left. Work further on the real dress. Loop and sew on the hem to the left side, whereas the whole row builds the fold.

Hem with fold ourse

Begin with a simple noose beat up and knit even right a number of rows for the desired hem width. Continue to knit a row right at the back side of the knitting, so that the fold of the hem appears left. Continue on the real dress. This fold course eased the measured turning of the hem but you can draw a tacking thread too, as at the simple hem to ease to sew on.

Hem with opened stitches

If you had begun a knitting up and knitted below (e.g. sleeve) or you have knitted a elongation on a child’s dress, Then you don’t bind off but you knit for the hem width a number of rows and draw through the stitches a tacking thread so that the stitches don’t get lost. Turn the hem edge to the left side in the desired width and Then stitch on stitch-by sewing on the course of the knitted fabric.

Vertical hem

Pick up stitches from the margin of the knitting and knit a number of rows to the desired hem width. Lastly don’t bind off the stitches but fastening the hem such it is explained at the adjoining site “hem with opened stitches”.
