Sew thread in the middle of the fabric

Without problems, you can also start in the middle of (!) In a row a new ball and sew later right here!

This method has the advantage that the knit edge later (for example, if one knits with many colors and has much to sew) does not become thick and the later side, shoulder seam remains supple, because it consists only of the edge stitches!

Here is the technique

If you are on a front side, first knit the old thread and a new thread about 20 cm before the thread end (do not put on too much) and let both ends hang for about 10cm.


If not already done, press the knot between two stitches on the left (!) Knitting side. Then, as usual, knit over the knot - pretend that it is not "contained" in the thread.

When your needlework is done, dedicate yourself to the knot

Lay your knit fabric with the right side towards the table, so you can look at the knot, which is on the back. Open it - you now have both ends in your hand. Now it is important to sew the ends of the thread so that there is no hole in the fabric and you also can not see it from the front: To do this, connect the thread end (!) Between the stitches of the back in the knitting direction (ie from your point of view right), the new end of the thread corresponding to (!) - so you look to the left. So certainly no hole is formed in the fabric!

If you have never sewn in the middle of the fabric

Loop the threads to be sutured only through the superficial (!) Loops of the loops so that they do not penetrate the front and are thus completely invisible.

Another hint

Do not place the knot and the stitching in the middle of a row, but discreetly at a place where it is the least noticeable or noticeable in the pattern.
