When knitting things, it is very important to pay attention to detail. Cuffs, trims, neckbands and edges of products should be elastic, at the same time keep their shape well and not stretch over time. Most often, the edges of things are tied with an elastic band; this elastic knitting consists of vertical tracks of repeating knit and purl loops. Instead of a simple elastic band, you can knit a thicker and more elastic one. double elastic band.

Knitted double elastic band on the knitting needles also called hollow, since it represents double fabric, connected only at the edges. Double elastic is good for knitting a belt, as you can insert an elastic band or lace into it. The double ribbing fabric looks the same on the front and back sides, like a straight stocking stitch, and due to the double thickness it turns out thicker and warmer. With a double elastic band you can knit warm two-layer items - hats, scarves, mittens.

How to knit double rib with knitting needles, follow this master class with detailed photos:

To start knitting a double elastic band, cast on loops, doubling their number. Please note that by knitting several rows, the initial row will shrink in half. First knit a small sample and use it to determine the required number of loops to cast on.

When knitting straight fabric, the front and back rows of double rib are knitted the same way. In the first row, repeat: knit 1 stitch, slip the next stitch, placing the working thread in front of the loop. Having knitted the row to the end, turn the work.

In the second row, alternate the other way around: knit the loop that was removed in the previous row, and remove the next one, placing the working thread in front of the work. By knitting two rows, the fabric will increase in height by only one row.

Next, knit a double elastic band repeating these two steps: knit the loop removed in the previous row, remove the next loop, placing the working thread forward. Accordingly, if you have an even number of rows and the row begins with knitting a knit stitch, and ends with removing the last loop, without knitting, then in the next row knit the first loop with a knit stitch, and the last one should also be removed without knitting.

Having knitted several rows of double elastic, you can clearly see the loops of the front fabric, which need to be knitted in this row, and the loops of the rear fabric, which can be removed without knitting by moving the working thread forward. The front and back sides are practically indistinguishable, only the initial row on the wrong side looks different.

If you separate the stitches and remove them onto two needles, you will see two layers of stockinette stitch, wrong side in, connected starting row and edges.

Having knitted a double elastic band to the required height, in the last row knit 2 loops together with the front one to switch to regular knitting.

When knitting hats and cuffs double rib can be knitted in the round on stocking or circular knitting needles. To start knitting, also cast on twice the number of loops and close them into a ring.

When knitting in the round, loops are knitted only on the front side, but since it is necessary to knit the first and second layers of double elastic in height, we will alternate the front and back rows. It is necessary to mark the beginning of the rows to make the transition.

In the front row we knit the loops of the front fabric, and remove the purl ones, and in the next purl row we knit the loops of the wrong side, and remove them from the front without knitting.

So, the first row (knit), repeat until the end of the row: knit 1 loop, slip the next loop, placing the working thread in front of the loop.

Even experienced knitters do not always know how to correctly knit a pattern called “tubular elastic.” In practice, this simple and very popular knitting allows you to get smooth canvas, having the appearance of a seamless pipe.

Even the very concept of “tubular” is directly related to the word “tube” (tunnel, pipe), therefore it very succinctly and realistically characterizes the type of pattern. Its second name, more common, is "hollow rubber band" which, however, does not look like the usual “grooved” elastic, but rather like stocking stitch.

You have probably seen such a hollow “pipe” many times; it is often used to make elements of knitted clothing - cuffs and collars for adult and children’s sweaters, trims, pocket flaps, belts and more.

Also, the principle of tubular knitting can be used in the manufacture of wide decorative laces. In addition, with the help of tubular elastic, you can reduce the number of loops when switching to knitting a cuff or any other tapering element from the main fabric.

How to knit double rib with knitting needles?

To the delight of novice needlewomen, knitting a double elastic band with knitting needles is not difficult: however, from the very beginning you need to control the number of loops on the knitting needle - it should be even, this is very important. To make the pattern look as aesthetically pleasing and neat as possible, it is recommended to cast on the stitches in the Italian way, in which they initially lie on the knitting needle as purl and knit stitches.

The standard pattern for knitting tubular elastic is simple:

• first we knit the first row according to the “1 by 1” pattern: the first loop is knitted as a knit stitch, the next one is removed as a purl stitch (we place the working thread in front of the left knitting needle and remove the loop), the third is knitted again, and so we knit all the loops of the row, alternating two steps ;
• Now let’s move on to the second row: the same techniques are used (knitting with a knit stitch + slipping the next loop as a purl), but this must be done in the reverse order - remove the purl loop over the knit loop of the first row, knit the knit loop over the removed loop, and so on to the end of the row.

Then we consistently adhere to the same pattern of knitting double elastic with knitting needles - we alternate rows (first-second, first-second) until our fabric reaches the required length. If we are talking about circular knitting, the pattern is slightly modified. The requirements for the number of loops remain the same; there must be an even number of them.

We knit the first row in the round in the same way as when knitting straight tubular elastic, and then distribute the second row over different knitting needles.

To do this, we place the finished, fully knitted first row on two knitting needles (on one - knit stitches, on the second - removed stitches).

Of course, you can use one ball, but in this case you will have to use pairs of knitting needles alternately, otherwise you will not be able to make a through hole for inserting an elastic band. Each master chooses the most comfortable method of work for himself. One important nuance should be taken into account: when making such a pattern, the thread consumption is greater than with regular knitting, so buy balls “with a reserve”.

Otherwise, the procedure for knitting a hollow elastic band is extremely simple; you only need to try it once with your own hands to understand the principle.

Let's consider another option for knitting an “elastic band” with knitting needles, it is usually called a hollow elastic band... I have never knitted it before and I don’t know why it has such a strange name, so I am learning with you.

Hollow elastic with knitting needles - how to knit

So let's get started...

We cast on 20 loops for the sample...

and we will remove the front ones without knitting, while the working thread will be “at work”. For more information about this technique, read the article ““

1st row - remove the edge, purl stitch, remove knit stitch without knitting, thread at work, purl, remove again...etc. to the end of the row...

2nd row - we do the same as in the first row only “according to the pattern”, again we knit only the purl loops, and remove the knit stitches, the working thread is “behind the knitting”

We alternate rows)))

It turns out that the “similarity” is simple knitting one on one

Why "similarity"? Yes, because the pattern really looks like an elastic band, but in terms of quality it’s nothing like it...

The knitting is dense, pressed, double-sided...

And I decided to dissolve it...

And... 💡 Oh, MIRACLE!...For me, this is an OPENING ❗ !!! Having thrown off the loops from the knitting needles, we see that the sample is hollow inside... This is probably why the elastic band is called - hollow elastic band with knitting needles))) 😯

... and if you don’t dissolve it, you’ll end up with such a pattern... sort of double...

... and there is a hollow space inside)))

This amazing property You should definitely use this pattern)))

For example, knit a hat... So what? You will immediately get an insulated double product. In my opinion not bad idea...or potholder with knitting needles...

Good day, dear friends!

My article today will be devoted to a very interesting knitting technique, which is called “double elastic.” It is called an elastic band because of its “compressive” properties, and double because it looks exactly the same on both sides. Both from the face and from the back the knitting looks like (photo 1).

This pattern is also called “hollow elastic.” Why? Look at photo 2: if you remove the fabric knitted with this pattern from the knitting needle, what comes out is “hocus pocus” - the inside between the halves is empty! That is, it turns out that we are knitting, as it were, a bag at one time. Imagine how great it would be to knit, for example, a hat with such an elastic band! It will immediately turn out to be two-layer and unusually warm.

Let's take a closer look at knitting a double elastic band with knitting needles.

• Pattern Description:

We MUST cast on an even number of loops.

1st row: knit the first loop behind the front wall, remove the next loop unknitted, leaving the thread in front of the work - alternate until the end of the row (we knit the edge loops as usual);

2nd row: knit the loop removed in the previous row behind the front wall, remove the next loop unknitted - the thread is in front of the work (photo 3).

• Where is double elastic used? Sometimes it is used to strengthen the bottom edge of the product - it turns out to be especially dense and does not stretch. It is very often used to decorate the neckline: as an element, or completely - to tie it to a stand-up collar. For example, to knit a collar I used a double elastic band in , and as an element of neck design - in .

I already mentioned above that you can knit a hat with this pattern. It is also very suitable for knitting a belt, which will immediately turn out to be double, dense and will have little stretch. You can use a double elastic band to tie the straps under the fastener. Well, if you suddenly want to create, for example, a warm two-layer jacket, then you can take a swing at that. But it will take a VERY long time to knit (I had experience), because in fact you are knitting 2 layers at once!

• Knitting double elastic in the round.

When designing a neckline, you often have to knit a double elastic band in the round (by the way, you can also knit a hat). Let's figure out how to do this on circular knitting needles. Of course you know that when circular knitting All rows are knitted on the same side of the work. Therefore, in this case we knit a double elastic band like this:

1st row: 1 front loop, remove 1 loop unknitted (thread in front of work);

2nd row: remove the front loop (thread behind the work), knit the removed loop purlwise behind the back wall;

We alternate the 1st and 2nd rows.

• How to close the loops of a double elastic band , depends on what exactly you are using it for. If you are knitting a sweater collar with this knitting stitch, then so that you can easily put it on over your head, close the loops, knitting the knit stitch with a knit stitch, and the removed loop with a purl loop. The knitting edge is elastic.

If you are knitting with a double elastic band, for example, a fastener bar or a belt, then you need to close the loops like this:

1. remove the edge loop, then remove the first loop unknitted;
2. We knit the next loop (which is behind the work) purlwise and pull it through the removed one;
3. Pull the formed loop through the edge loop again;
4. we continue to do this further - it turns out that we first knit 2 loops together, and then pull the formed loop through the previous loop lying on right knitting needle. With this method of closing the loops, the edge of the double elastic band is more rigid and does not stretch.

The methods of closing loops described above are the same for both straight and circular knitting double elastic bands.

• How to calculate the required number of loops for knitting with a double elastic band?

As usual, you need to knit a sample and measure how many loops you cast so that they fit, for example, 5 cm of the sample. Then divide the desired width of the product in centimeters by 5 and multiply by the number of loops you calculated (for more details about calculating loops, see the article about

Knitting a double hollow elastic band with knitting needles

Hollow double elastic band - a technique for knitting an elastic band that every self-respecting needlewoman, even a beginner, should have. Therefore, today we will talk about such a common technique as knitting a double hollow elastic band with knitting needles.

The peculiarity of this technique is that to complete it you need to cast on the number of loops, doubled, since the work will be done from two layers of fabrics knitted using the stockinette stitch technique. Only these canvases are connected to each other by a typesetting edge. The knit stitches are on the outside and the purl stitches are on the inside. The canvases are adjacent to each other as if back to back.

Also, a feature of this technique is that knitting needles need to be chosen with a number less than for knitting plain stockinette stitch.

A characteristic advantage of this technique is that you can save a lot of time. Why? This is because when describing many models where a double elastic band is used, it is described differently, as a simple front fabric folded in half. If you knit a double fabric, it will take more time and effort. That’s why our “double hollow elastic” technique solves this problem instantly.

Pattern characteristics:

• Despite the fact that the technique is made of two canvases, it does not look too voluminous or cumbersome.
• A cast-on edge made using this technique has good elasticity.
• Products knitted with double elastic have good elasticity and at the same time do not deform.
• Due to the fact that the double hollow elastic band is knitted from two fabrics, it looks moderately voluminous and fluffy.
• The disadvantage of this technique is that the product will require a larger amount of yarn than, for example, a regular elastic band.

What to knit with this technique:

• This type of elastic should be applied to the edges of skirts, panties, necklines, stockings, socks, and so on. All edges can be made with double hollow elastic.
• Often, double hollow elastic is used to knit double warm hats. Double hats start with double hollow rib knitting and then move to double ply blanket knitting on multiple knitting needles.

Conclusion: this double hollow elastic technique can be used to make edges in any knitted items. It is most advantageous to use it for knitting elastic for panties and skirts, since you can insert a regular elastic band into it for elasticity.

Double elastic knitting pattern with description

Method one:

For the sample, on knitting needles number two and a half, cast on forty stitches in a simple way.

First row: We knit using the simple, regular and long-familiar method of an ordinary simple elastic band one to one - one simple front and one regular purl loop. Do not forget that we remove the first edge loop in the sample, and we knit the last loop in the row with a purl simple loop.

Second row: We remove the first loop, knit the next loop with a regular knit stitch, then move the loop from the left knitting needle to the right one and skip the working thread before work. We knit a simple knit stitch again and again move the loop from the left loop to the right loop, pulling the working thread in front of the loop. We knit this way until the end of the row, and knit the last loop with a knit stitch.

We knit the third and subsequent rows similarly to the second.

The second method of knitting a double hollow elastic band:

For a ten-centimeter long sample, use number two and a half needles to cast on forty stitches using the Italian method.

Any knitting begins with a very simple technique, such as a set of loops with knitting needles. There are a huge variety of loop set variations. In accordance with the type and purpose of the main knitting, the most suitable option for a set of loops is chosen: the edge should be elastic or, on the contrary, it should be dense and hold its shape well. Now we will tell you about such an element as a hollow elastic band with knitting needles.

Knitting a hollow double elastic band using knitting needles: a detailed description of the technique

There is a beautiful and original way to create an unusual hollow elastic band using knitting needles. With this manufacturing method, the knitted item will have a hollow and very elastic elastic band. The double hollow elastic band is quite simple in its execution, so even a novice needlewoman can master this technique.

A characteristic feature and highlight of the technique of forming a hollow double elastic band is the process of casting and forming subsequent poisonous knitting loops. The craftswoman is required to cast on the working knitting needles the number of stitches doubled. This number of stitches will be made using stockinette knitting and will make up two layers of the fabric of your product. These two layers of your work piece will be right sides together. The appearance of such a hollow double elastic band is very neat and pleasant.

Characteristic features and advantages of double hollow elastic in products:

1. Despite the fact that the working canvas is made of two connected layers, it does not look too voluminous.
2. Products knitted using a double hollow elastic band have good elasticity, but at the same time are not subject to excessive deformation.
3. The disadvantage of using a hollow double elastic band is that it will require more yarn to shape your project than, for example, to make a regular elastic band.

Using this unusual and beautiful option for forming the elastic band of your product, you can tie the edges of pants, skirts, stockings, necks of products, socks and other products.

Hollow double elastic with knitting needles: detailed description and recommendations for knitting an element of the product

We bring to your attention several ways of knitting a hollow elastic band using knitting needles.

Using the first simple method of forming a hollow double elastic, you need to prepare knitting needles number 2.5 and thread for knitting a sample. Using knitting needles, form forty loops.

Now start knitting the first row of your fabric sample. Form it using a simple technique for making loops on knitting needles. Cast on one stitch using the knit method, then form a loop using the purl method. Also, do not forget to remove the edge loop without knitting. According to the described manipulations, you need to form the entire first row of the working canvas. Then the last stitch in your row should be purled.

Next, proceed to working manipulations on the second row of your canvas. The first edge stitch must be removed onto the knitting needle without knitting. The next loop should be formed using the facial method. After this, place a loop on the right working needle and throw the thread from your skein forward of the working fabric. Now form a loop again using the knit stitch method and place it on the right working needle. Just as in the manipulations above, place the working thread in front of the fabric of the product. Using the described steps, form the entire row of your panel. Knit the last stitch on the left knitting needle.

The third and subsequent rows of your working canvas must be formed by analogy with the second row.

There is another quick way to form a hollow elastic band using knitting needles. Cast on forty stitches using size 2.5 needles using the Italian method. Thanks to this type of set of loops, you can immediately begin the process of creating a hollow double elastic band for your product.

Slip off the first stitch of your row without knitting. The second loop must be formed using the facial method, and then placed on the right knitting needle. Again you need to place the thread in front of the work and continue knitting. Repeat all the manipulations we described above until the entire row is completed. Form the last stitch on the left needle using the knit stitch method. Your hollow double elastic band is ready.

You can choose for yourself the most suitable method of forming the elastic hollow band of your product and master it.

We bring to your attention small selection video on the process of knitting hollow elastic on knitting needles.

There are a huge number of different patterns for knitting elastic bands. What they all have in common is that they consist of purl and knit stitches forming stretchy, fairly elastic stripes.

Today we will describe to you in detail how to knit an elastic band with knitting needles. In addition, we will talk in detail about one of its most famous varieties, called double. And having studied all the material, we will try to connect it not according to the diagram, but according to a short description.

By picking up ordinary knitting needles, you can create many different types of beautiful patterns, including elastic bands. The most common and popular types are elastic bands called:

• simple;
• double;
• displaced simple;
• crossed;
• “Knit 2, purl 2”;
• double torn.

List various types Such patterns can last for quite a long time. However, today we invite you to focus your attention on the most common and popular type called double elastic.

How to knit a double elastic band

The knitting pattern for double elastic is quite interesting, and most importantly – simple. Most often it is used to create individual parts of products. For example, collars, cuffs or belts on skirts and pants.

Double elastic got its name due to the fact that its faces. the side is no different from the wrong side. The photo clearly shows that the double elastic band looks very similar to the stockinette stitch. To learn how to knit an elastic band with knitting needles, we suggest you study in detail the description of the knitting technique:

To learn the double rib knitting pattern, you can also watch a short video that describes in detail the entire order of the stitches.

Contrast double elastic band

Separately, I would also like to note the fact that often experienced needlewomen knit a contrasting double elastic band in a repeating pattern. To knit a sample of double contrasting elastic, cast on 10 stitches of any color you like. Add a contrasting thread, which will be the main one. Form a straight yarn over. Knit 1 stitch. Make a set of stitches for the yarn over.

Form another face. p.. Continue casting on stitches so that knits alternate with yarn overs. As a result, the number of loops should increase to 20. Next, you will need to turn the work over and remove one loop without knitting. After this, you need to perform persons. Yarn over

Then place the working thread in front of the needle. Without knitting, remove one P. In this row, all yarn overs are knitted. etc., and the previously formed loops are simply removed. The main thing while working is not to forget about the need to form the last yarn over. It is also made face-m. In the next row, this yarn over turns into a real loop.

To see what it's like knitted elastic, called double, you need to finish this row and remove the knitting needle. By unraveling a thread of a contrasting color, you will see a neat, even edge.

To learn how to knit a double contrast rib, you can watch a short video with a detailed description of the entire process.

Video: Knitting contrasting elastic

Closing the elastic band

After you knit the double elastic you will need to close it. There are two ways to do this:

• gate knitted sweater or a dress worn over the head is closed as follows: we close the front loops like faces. p., and do the removed p.;
• To close the P on a belt or fastener bar made with a double elastic band, you need to remove the edge loop and leave the first loop unknitted. Make the next one purlwise and pull it through the previously removed loop. Pull the resulting loop through the edge. We continue knitting, following the above description. At the same time, it is worth noting separately the fact that this technique of casting on loops to close the pattern allows you to make a more solid and neat edge canvases.

Features and benefits of double elastic

Double elastic is also often called hollow or tubular. It, just like a regular elastic band, “compresses” the knitted fabric, making it more elastic. Main feature This type of elastic band is that it provides a more rigid degree of compression of the canvas. In this regard, knitters tend to use this beautiful pattern for securing the edges of elastic knitted items.

Such a pattern is usually called hollow because it looks like two separate canvases, separated from each other by empty space. This feature is considered one of the main advantages of this type of elastic band, as it allows you to significantly diversify the finishing of knitted products.

Alternating purl. and persons.p. allows you to create a pattern that is equally attractive on both sides. Some products created using this type of elastic, such as double elastic, can be worn not only on the front side, but also on the wrong side.

When forming a hollow elastic band according to the above descriptions, you must remember that it is much thicker than a single one. And, therefore, when knitting you will need 2 times more yarn.

Speaking about the features of this knitted pattern, it is additionally worth noting the fact that after washing it should under no circumstances be stretched. Any knitted product decorated with such a pattern must be dried by placing it on a flat surface, so that during drying the canvas does not deform and retains its original shape.

Many needlewomen are faced with the need to decorate the edge of a product with a double elastic band. For those just starting to learn knitting, double rib may seem difficult to do. But it's actually quite easy to knit.

Double elastic band: its functions and purpose

A double (or also called hollow) elastic band plays almost the same role as a regular one: it gives the product elasticity and “compresses” it in the required area. This is often used when knitting the edges of jumpers, the necks of sweaters or cuffs. But the functions of the double elastic band do not end there. The specificity of this type of knitting is such that the compression of the fabric occurs much more significantly than with a regular elastic band. Therefore, knitters often resort to this pattern when they need to secure the elastic edge of the product itself.

It’s not for nothing that a double elastic band is called hollow. After all, in essence, it represents two knitted fabrics, between which an empty space is formed. This creates additional finishing possibilities. For example, you can easily thread a drawstring or cord through such an elastic band, insert an elastic band for cuffs, or decorative tape. And if you use yarn of two various shades and textures, then you will get two things in one: if you turn the product inside out, it will play completely differently. In addition, the double elastic band eliminates unaesthetic and uncomfortable seams.

Double step-by-step instructions

To work, we will need yarn, knitting needles with a number corresponding to its thickness, as well as an auxiliary thread. Experienced craftswomen It is advised to take knitting needles a little thinner than those that you would need when knitting a regular one. This way the elastic band will be more elastic and beautiful.

1. We calculate the number of loops. To do this as accurately as possible, first knit a control sample in stockinette stitch (one row - all knits, second row - all purls, etc.). We count the loops in a section 10 centimeters long and multiply the resulting number by two. For example, we got 20 loops - this means that the double elastic band will consist of forty. It goes without saying, as with any elastic band, the number of loops must be even.
2. We remember the resulting number and cast on the knitting needles with an auxiliary thread (in our example - 20). After this, the thread can be put aside: we will use the main yarn.
3. In the first row we knit alternately: knit, yarn over. Repeat until the end of the row.
4. The second row will require turning the product over, and the wrong side of the elastic will appear in front of us. Now you need to knit each yarn over made in the previous row with a knit stitch. And simply remove each knitted loop onto a knitting needle so that the working thread remains before knitting.
5. The third and all subsequent rows are knitted the same way. We knit the loop that we removed in the previous case, and remove the knitted one in the same way as in the second row. As you can see, nothing complicated.

After making several rows in this way, you will soon notice that the double elastic band actually becomes hollow inside. Continue to the desired height and then knit in the main pattern. The auxiliary thread that we collected at the beginning can be carefully unraveled. Ready!

Any knitting begins with a very simple technique, such as a set of loops with knitting needles. There are a huge variety of loop set variations. In accordance with the type and purpose of the main knitting, the most suitable option for a set of loops is chosen: the edge should be elastic or, on the contrary, it should be dense and hold its shape well. Now we will tell you about such an element as a hollow elastic band, which is easy to knit.
