Shoulder seam with braid.

The shoulder seam is braided.
I connect the front and back, and I decided to show the way of knitting the shoulder seam with a flat braid. This method is done with three needles, but differs from the classical method in that the seam is flat, not convex.

The essence of the method



with the third needle is to close the stitches of the front needle with a regular wrap, but before knitting the stitch from the front needle, you need to remove the stitch from the back needle.

Now in detail:
Fold the front and back with the wrong sides facing each other, with the tips of the needles towards the armhole.
Needle 1 – closest to you in the left hand.
Needle 2 – furthest from you in the left hand.
Needle 3 – working needle in the right hand.
1. In the left hand, hold needles 1 and 2, with the working yarn between them, and needle 3 in the right hand.
2. With needle 3, slide a stitch from needle 2 - insert needle 3 from the front side of the piece so that the stitch is not twisted, and transfer it.
3. With needle 3, knit the first stitch from needle 1 as a knit stitch – there are two stitches on needle 3.
4. Pull the knitted stitch through the stitch that was slipped from needle 2.
5. On the right needle, there is already 1 stitch, similarly slide the second stitch from needle 2,
6. Knit the stitch from needle 3 as a knit stitch - there are three stitches on needle 3.
7. Pull the knitted stitch through the two existing stitches on needle 3.
Repeat steps 5, 6, 7 until the end.
It is harder to describe than to do Watch the video, it is all simple





As the working needle in the 3-needle method, I use a bamboo sock needle, it is short and not slippery - it is easier to work with, try it If it is more convenient for you to close the stitches with a hook, you can also use a hook instead of the working needle in this method (I checked).
