CASTING OFF
After casting off - which is more accurately un-
threading - it is advisable to put the penultimate
row onto double pointed needles or a circular
needle and to carefully pull out the cast off stitch-
es. Then loosely
cast off the last row
as in conventional
hand knitting. This
results in an elastic
finish which is not
too loose. The cast
on edge can also
be cast off like this
afterwards.
RIBBON YARN
Ribbon yarn must be held at an angle, so that the
needles pick up the entire ribbon. Always let the
yarn run loosely through your hand.
DECORATIVE SEAMS
For visible, decorative seams, crochet the two
edges together using single stitches. Sew through
both edges with each stitch.
YARNS
You can use any yarn, even “flamed” ones, in-
cluding yarn grades of different thicknesses.
PLAIN KNITTING
With plain knitting, ensure that no stitches catch
on the needles at the edge (particularly with
thicker wool). To avoid this, be careful to keep the
wool under tension when turning.
TOTAL ROW COUNT
Always knit an odd number of rows, because
knit stitches are better for casting off (1st row =
immediately after stopping).
SIZE CONVERSION
For smaller sizes simply make the pieces narrower.
For larger sizes use a correspondingly larger width.
REVERSE SINGLE CROCHET STITCH
Around almost all edges, finish with a round of
reverse single crochet stitches. Reverse single
crochet stitches are single stitches which are
crocheted from left to right.
MATTRESS STITCH
Lay the edges that you want to join with the front
facing upwards parallel to each other. With a wool
needle or a blunt embroidery needle catch the
the cross stitch between the edge stitch and the
first stitch. Pull the thread through. On the oppo-
site side, also catch the cross stitch between the
edge stitch and the first stitch and pull the thread
through. Repeat this alternately on one side and
then the other. Once
you have joined ap-
proximately 2 cm like
this, tighten the thread
you are working with.
The knitted pieces will
join together seam-
lessly.
MULTI-COLOURED KNITTING
When knitting with more than one colour, simply
tie the two yarns together. Be careful to make a
proper, tight knot.
