If you are still a beginner in knitting, perform a test sample first.

We type on spokes the number of loops in 2 times the calculated. For example, if you needed 20 stitches for binding ordinary gum, now you should type 40. Do not forget about 2 edges.
Carefully pull out the spoke, remove the edgeband and knit the first row with an ordinary rubber band 1x1.
We turn the work, we remove the edge.
Facial loops in the second row are typed the same way - facial. Wrinkles should be removed, while the thread must remain before work.
Then we knit similarly. After a couple of rows you will see that you get a double canvas. The mating on both sides looks like a stocking.
We finish the canvas to the required height.
We send together the facial loops in the last row. If you do not tie in this way, the edge of the elastic will look stretched and ugly.
Closing loops in any convenient way - you can crochet when you have to tie the first with the second one or stretch one loop into the other.

How to knit a double hollow gum

A rubber band is often used in knittingknitting needles for different parts of knitwear, for example, neck straps, cuffs, rims of berets or hats. Using this method of knitting, get a double cloth. This allows you to tie a thing without the wrong side. It is often used in children's models, because the product is double.

We take a string of contrasting color and type the loops of the first set. Please note that if, for example, a hollow elastic band is knit on 40 loops, then we type 20 loops with an auxiliary thread.
For the set we go to knitting this gum. We include the working thread in the work and we sew the first row: 1 face loop, 1 cape. Continue, in the same way, until the completion of the series.
In the second row we sew the cape with a facial loop, we remove the loop behind the crochet, like the wrong one, and do not tie it. We make sure that the working thread is before work.
All subsequent rows are knit - 1 front loop, 1 remove from the knitting needles (as in the case of a back loop), working thread - before work.
After you connect the hollow elastic with the necessary length, you can remove the auxiliary thread. For this, cut the loop of the set and carefully remove the thread with a needle or needle.
