Description of work

For this collar model you will need 500 g of natural merino yarn (knit folded in half), thick knitting needles No. 10 + an auxiliary pin or knitting needle for the convenience of knitting “braids”. \

As a result, the height of the scarf will be approximately 48 cm, in circumference - about 90 cm. Next, knit step by step:

1. Cast on 114 stitches using the usual method;
2. Knit the braid pattern according to the description below until it reaches 46 cm in height;
3. Work the last 3 rows with purl stitch and bind off the stitches.

Pattern "Braids"

1. First row: 3 l. p. (front loops), 3 i. p. (purl), 10 l. p., again 3 and. P.
2. Knit in this way from the first to the fifth row inclusive.
3. 6th r.: 3 l. p., 3 i. p., then remove 5 stitches forward onto an additional knitting needle or pin, knit the next 5 stitches. Loops, then perform the slipped loops in the same way (knit) and, finally, 3 i.p. Knit like this until the end of the row.
4. From 7th to 11th r. knit in the same way as from 1st to 5th.
5. 12th r. perform as 6th.

On the wrong side of the product, all loops are knitted according to the pattern.

English elastic band for scarf-collar

The English elastic band itself is beautiful, elegant and elastic (the product does not stretch out for a long time and does not lose its shape), it looks neat on knitted items, and it can be done in different ways, and any of them is quite simple.

You can knit a scarf with an English rib from plain yarn or use a cheerful melange thread with multi-colored splashes - in any case, it will look amazing.

For the clamp, you can take the dimensions from the previous description or calculate the loops yourself (the number of loops must be odd). English rib is knitted in several ways, here there are 2 to choose from.

Method 1

When knitting, you need to remember that the first and last loops in each row are edge stitches, and they are not included in the total number of loops for the pattern. Moreover, at the beginning of the row, the edge is simply removed onto the right needle without knitting, and at the end of the row it is knitted as a purl.

• First row: regular alternation of l. p. and i. p. until the end of the row.
• Second row: slip the edge stitch onto the right needle. One l. knit stitch from the previous row as usual. Remove the purl from the previous row (without knitting) with a yarn over. Continue this row until the end. Purl the last (edge) loop.
• Third row: do the same with the edge loop (as usual, without knitting). The next loop, which was the knit stitch in the previous row, needs to be removed with a double crochet, and the one that was knitted with a double crochet should be knitted together with one stitch. p., and so on until the end of the row.
• Next, the entire fabric of the product is knitted according to the pattern of the third row.

Method 2

This method is simpler than the previous one. Here is its description diagram:

• 1st row: regular elastic band 1X1.
• 2nd row: slip the last (edge) stitch. Remove the knit stitch from the previous row together with the yarn over without knitting. Knit each purl loop according to the pattern (i.e., purl). Do the same until the end of the row.

English elastic can be used not only for knitting the fabric all over, but also for framing the pattern at the bottom and top (i.e. start knitting with an elastic band, go to the pattern and finish again with an elastic band).
