General knitting tips for everyone-3

<p>Recently I bought a book «Tips for Knitters» by Debbie Bliss. It inspired me to write the few articles for knitters.&nbsp; Below I list some useful knitting tips:</p> <p>If you need to knit with a facial (damask) stich, knit the first row with 1x1 ribbing, then the edge will not be curled. </p> <p>If you sew the hinges with a suitable, thin, strong thread, they will not tear any longer. </p> <p>If a suitable piece of cloth is pressed from the underside of the buttons loops, the knitted fabric will retain its shape for a longer time and not stretch out. </p> <p>If you have to hide the ends of threads, you can make it with a crochet. </p> <p>To the edges of the lining of the coat and skirts are not twisted, they can be treated with the bias binding. </p> <p>Angora-related products will last longer in shape, if you add a suitable color silk sewing thread.</p><figure><img data-image="36634" src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/0fbe6weoxHX3DGvK4b6W0SRUOU0=/5460637b79f44c639703e66b874632ac"></figure> <p>If you knit a pullover for kid, then add an additional thread to the thread on the elbows. This will give the sleeves strength. </p> <p>If you start knitting from the end of the thread, which is in the middle of the clew, then the knitted fabric will be smoother. </p> <p>To ensure that the neck does not stretch out, when closing the loops add a thin elastic band to the working thread. </p> <p>If you want to avoid tedious counting of loops, additions and decreases when knitting the sleeves, knit&nbsp;the sleeves on the same needles, but from individual clews, so that you will be able to make the additions and subtractions simultaneously.</p> <p>If you need to buy yarn and you cannot find a skein from the desired batch, knit alternately 1 row of old and 1 row with a new thread. After a few rows of this knitting you can continue to work with a new yarn. </p> <p>Use the special sorts of yarn to knit the socks. Add the additional thread when knitting a heel and toe. </p> <p>If you do not have the remains of yarn to knit the heel and toe of the socks, then take a bright thread of contrasting color. Colored heels and toes look very stylish. </p> <p>Pictures taken from: <a href="http://www.knittingtipsbyjudy.com/"><span></span></a><a href="http://www.knittingtipsbyjudy.com/">http://www.knittingtipsbyjudy....</a><span></span> </p>
