In knitting, a gather is a generic term for the several methods that draw stitches closer together laterally, i.e., within a row of knitting. Common methods include: * In binding, a yarn loop is passed over 2 or more stitches in the same row (usually adjacent to the binding loop); also known as a ''pullover stitch''. * In clustering, the yarn is wound laterally around a set of stitches in the same row, possibly several times; also known as a ''wrap stitch''. * Smocking is a sewing or embroidery technique in which the tiny pleats are drawn together with thread or yarn. Before the development of elastic, smocking was used to provide a stretchable, flexible panel of fabric. ==Related techniques== In the sewing technique ruching (pronounced , also spelled rouching), a large number of increases are introduced in one row, which are then removed by decreases a few rows later. This produces many small vertical ripples or "ruches" in the fabric, effectively little pleats. The technique of shirring produces a similar effect by gathering the fabric in two parallel rows (not necessarily horizontal), usually by smocking. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gather (knitting)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
