Question

I need to knit a square frame and so need to knit four corners rather than just sewing four pieces together. But i have no idea how? Anyone got any patterns?

I've done this just playing around but I don't know if I can explain it...

Cast on the width you want the frame. Knit until you get to a length equal to your inside measurement for the frame. Then knit all stitches except last one. Turn needles and knit all stitches back onto the needle with 1. Keep working in like manner leaving 2, then 3, then 4...

I don't know how you'd finish the last corner though. You might have to cast on 1 and increase each row to get the angle and then decrease each row to make an ending angle.

Answer 3

You could make four pieces where you increase (or decrease) at both ends, giving you a trapezoid shape, and then stitch the seams.

Or, make a long strip using the same increasing (or decreasing) principle. If you're confident knitting "in the round" you could do this on four needles, or a circular needle; if you prefer to work on two only, there will still be a seam to be sewn up somewhere. Probably best to increase (or decrease) at the ends of the strip, so you can incorporate the seam into a corner.

Or another way ..... knit what will effectively be the "bottom" edge of the frame. At one of the work, knit on a few stitches, and keep knitting, until you've knitted enough to go up the side of the picture. Don't cast off - put the stitches on a spare needle, or a safety pin, as you'll need them later. Going back to the stitches you've NOT been working on - cast off enough stitches to go along the bottom edge of the picture, leaving the same number of stitches as you've just used to work the side of the frame. Count the number of stitches you cast off! Work these left over stitches until you have another strip of work to go up the other side - you should have something like a U shape. Finally, work along that strip to the inside edge, then cast on the same no of stitches as you cast off before, and then join this work to the first side piece that you did earlier. Work across them, and then work across the whole lot to make the top of your frame.

Hope this makes some sort of sense!

Answer 4

You need to cast on the number of stitches necessary to get the inside measurement of your square with a number of stitches divisible by 4 and add 4 stitches to this onto a circular needle. Join your stitches making sure that the stitches are not twisted around the needle, placing a marker at the join. Knit 1/4 of the stitches, place a marker, knit 1, place a marker, knit 1/4 of the stitches, place a marker, knit 1, place a marker, knit 1/4 of the stitches, place a marker, knit 1, place a marker, knit the last 1/4, place a marker, knit 1. Next round, slip marker, *yo, knit to the next marker, yo, sl marker, k 1, slip marker, yo, knit to the next marker*, repeat from * to * around, ending yo, sl marker, k 1. Next round work all stitches even. Alternate these two rounds until you have knit the width of the frame that you want and then bind off loosely.

Answer 5

Bend your needles 90 degrees

Answer 7

i'm no longer an authority knitter, in spite of the actual incontrovertible fact that I do knit, so somebody else might have a greater ideal answer. i think of your stress grew to become into too tight whilst casting your stitches on and rancid. Does the headband enable you rather pull it straight away yet curls back once you enable circulate? If it does, i might attempt steam urgent it to work out if that should save it in shape. Use a humid textile so the iron does not touch the yarn without postpone. possibly you ought to run a skinny twine interior the direction of the top yet confirm you get something that isn't rust. yet whilst they are badly curled, you are able to probable rather restoration the final end you purely comprehensive by utilizing unravelling and re-knitting yet i do no longer think of you will have the skill to restoration the 1st row devoid of unravelling and commencing over. yet, possibly an authority might have a greater ideal answer. Why no longer contain the curl into the "look" of the headband? you ought to upload a perimeter, then shrink the fringe straight away. Make it look like it grew to become into meant to be that way. the fringe ought to be beads, feathers or comparable shade or diverse shade yarn. i might circulate with the fringe concept and purchase greater wool to attempt yet another headband. in case you watch your knitting develop, interior of a few rows, you will comprehend in case you have a concern and can initiate over formerly you get too some distance. desire you have a tremendous day!
