Details and Trims

Hems and edges can be shaped, scalloped, fringed or laced. Hand-knitted trim can be transferred onto the knitting machine to be knitted in. A normal cast-on edge will curl, but hooking up the first row of knitting and knitting it in with the body of the garment will create a neater, tubular hem. Weights can be enclosed in hems to help a garment hang properly and come in various forms like lead pellets inside fabric tape.

A normal cast-on edge will curl, but by hooking up the first row
of knitting and knitting in with the body of the garment, you will
create a far neater, tubular hem. The partial knitting technique also
provides great possibilities for both hems and trims. A double bed
machine can be used to produce a variety of ribbed edges. Mock
ribs can be made on single beds; these are less elastic, but can
give a good finish to a hem or cuff.

Weighted hems
Weights can be used in
more formal knits to help the
hang of a garment; they are
usually enclosed inside the
hem. There are many types,
such as separate round or
square lead weights, which
are usually spaced out along
the hem; weighted tapes,
which have small lead pellets
enclosed inside a cotton tube;
various chain effects, which
can be used as decorative
weights; or ordinary self
fabric/knit tape can be used
to help give lightweight
structure to a hem or edge.
