Scarf Eight: photo, diagram and

A circular scarf, snob or scarf-eight is knit extremely simply: the long fabric is sewn in a special way or from the first row is closed in a ring and performed in a circle. Both of these methods will be discussed in this article.

Knitting: a scarf-eight and its features

Becoming such a popular circular scarf is very tightly wrapped around the neck, reliably protecting from wind and frost. In addition, it can be used instead of a hat, and some delicate models look good even with light dresses.

Scarf-Eight is called so because of its shape. This product is reminiscent of the sign of "infinity" or, rather, Mobius tape.

Knitted by the first method of scarf (its length is usually about 120-140 cm) stitched, combining the front side with the purl. Thus, a closed circle with a characteristic turn is obtained.

Eight-scarf is very convenient to use and does not require a long laying, just put it on without a mirror.

When making a scarf-eight in the second method, work is performed on circular knitting needles. The first row is knitted, as usual, but when you turn to the second cloth, you are turned over. In this case, the width of the fabric will be the length of the scarf, and its height - the width. The canvas, connected on circular knitting needles, has no seam.

However, it should be noted that this method is not very convenient. Working with any circular cloth requires extra effort and attention. In addition, it should be borne in mind that there will be no purl strings, so you need to monitor the proper patterning.

What pattern to choose?

It will be best to look like a scarf-eight, knitted with a double-sided pattern. When using one-sided ornaments the presence of the wrong side can not be hidden. Unless to connect a cloth twice more widely, than it is required and then sew it by the inside inside. But this method is suitable only for openwork patterns or for paintings made of a very fine thread.

To simple two-sided patterns can include all types of rubber bands, "rice", "boucle" and other ornaments, formed by a combination of facial and purl loops.

The pattern to the pattern is shown below. The product connected in this way looks very effective.

It's sad, but braids are just one-sided ornament. True, many knitters close their eyes to this since the eight-scarf with the voluminous oblique looks very beautiful. Often a large braid is allowed in the center of the canvas, and on its edges are knitted elements that look the same from the face and from the underside. True, such scarves should also be worn carefully, so as not to accidentally turn them out from the inside out.

The sequence of knitting a scarf

The following description will be given for a semi-wool yarn, the thickness of which is 280 m / 100 g. Knitting density: 10 cm x 22 loops. Number of loops in the repeat of the selected pattern - 8 pieces.

To obtain a scarf with a width of 40 cm, you need to collect 90 loops, two of them will make up the edge. The first edge is removed unrolled, and the latter - always facial.

Our eight scarf will include eleven rapports. The specificity of this pattern is that it is formed not only in the performance of facial rows, but also in working with the backs. This feature makes it possible to use such an ornament to make a scarf on circular knitting needles.

Shutdown

When the eight-scarf is tied to the desired height (this is determined by fitting or measuring the canvas), it's time to sew it. To complete the final stage, you should expand the blade on a flat surface. It is desirable that the place was enough, the scarf did not hang and was not crumpled.

The cloth is folded in half, and then one end is turned upside down. The edges are combined and stitched by any convenient method. It is best to use a knitted stitch "loop in a loop", since it is almost invisible. To achieve an ideal imperceptible seam, you can loop a different thread (preferably a contrasting color) and then dismiss the typing edge. The remaining open hinges are very easy to sew with open loops of the upper edge of the blade.

After the seam is completed, the scarf can be tied with a crochet or leave the edges as they are. The crocheting gives the canvas more stiffness and does not allow the product to stretch too much. In addition, several rows of columns without a crochet are able to expand the scarf. This is actual, if the canvas turned out already, than it was planned.
