1. Know the position of the needle:
Determine the needle feeding position: according to the design, determine the specific position of needle feeding from the neckline down. Usually, needles are added from the neckline, and it is necessary to gradually increase the number of needles at the edge of the neckline to achieve the required width.
Measure the number of stitches: use a counter or mark the number of stitches to ensure that the number of stitches added in each row is consistent.
2. Needle injection method:
Starting from the neckline: Starting from the edge of the last line of the neckline.
Increase the number of stitches in turn: from the edge of the neckline, gradually increase the number of extra stitches on the fabric, and different ways of adding stitches can be adopted.
Forward needle picking method (M 1): pick up the yarn above or below the existing needle to form a new needle. This method can make the new needle be located on the left or right side of the existing needle.
Cross needle picking method (M 1L, M 1R): increase the number of needles by cross needle picking. M 1L (a needle to the left) is to connect a new needle from the left of the existing needle, and M 1R (a needle to the right) is to connect a new needle from the right of the existing needle.
Double-sided needle picking method (combination of M 1L and M 1R): alternately use M 1L and M 1R to keep the symmetry of the edge.
Interline pin: Pin at the beginning and end of each line until the required width is reached.
3. Weave new needles:
Knitting new needles: ensure that the new needles and the original needles are knitted correctly, and keep the consistency of needle number and pattern.
Knitting to the required length: Continue knitting with the selected knitting method and number of stitches until the required garment length or design position is reached.
4. Precautions:
It is necessary to keep a balance when adding needles: keep the number of needles in each row consistent and ensure that the edge of the fabric is flat.
Understand different needle injection methods: understand different needle injection methods and choose the appropriate method according to the actual situation.
Check the correctness of needle addition: after needle addition, check in time to ensure that the number of newly added needles is the same as that of the original needles, and maintain the correct knitting method.
Adding needles from the neckline needs careful operation to ensure that the number and position of new needles meet the design requirements, so as to achieve the required width and shape of clothes.
