Elastic knitting needles not tightening edge

How to make a rubber band with a non-tensile edge.

I liked this way. For my taste this way is easier than the Italian set 1. We recruit a chain of air loops. (Auxiliary thread).Important! We take into account the fact that in the end of the loops will be twice as much. For example:For the gum requires 100 loops, it means a crochet knit chain of 50 loops.

2. The first rumber number is screwed with spokes of air loops.

3. It turns out the facial side

And this is a view from the wrong side

4. Next, knit facemark several rows. Facial view:

View from the wrong side:

4. Pay attention to the pink loops from the wrong side. 5. Now knit on the wrong side. An invalid loop is tangled, but I raise this pink loop to the right spoke without told.

6. Thus, knit until the end of the row. We have a loop twice the initial number.

7. Now knit as a conventional gum: 1 persons 1 is elegant.View from the front side.

Pindion view

8. Now we remove the auxiliary thread.

That's all. Such an elastic band turned out in the end. Front side.

I will be glad if someone this master class is useful.
