Smooth side edge with a pigtail knitting needles. Tank top with side slits Crocheted side slits
In knitting, the technique of cuts (seeking) is used to knit circular products without interruption for holes (armholes and necklines). After completion, incisions are made in the right place. The edges of the slits are secured on the wrong side with blind stitches to prevent fraying. You can additionally strengthen the edges with a hook. 
This technique is especially useful when knitting jacquard circular pieces, it allows you to constantly work from the right side, which makes it easier to follow the jacquard pattern.
1. Additional loop cuts are needed to form a temporary bridge between the leading edge of the strip. We mark with the remains of the yarn (white) the edges of the bridge (the edges of the cut) and the center line (red), which shows the line of the cut. Number of additional loops are usually 6 or 8, but maybe two (for experienced ones!) 
2. Using a hook, we tie a row of half-columns without a crochet (comm. Art.) on each side of the future incision. Use appropriate yarn, contrast thread is used here for clarity.
Make a slip loop and place it on the hook. From faces. sides, starting from the bottom right, insert the hook under both walls of the loop to the left of the center line. (If you are holding the work upright in your hands, this will be the lower left side of the cut facing you.) 
3. Grab the thread with the hook and pull through both walls of the loop to the edge, but not through the loop on the hook. = 2 loops on the hook. 
4. Yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook. One half-column without a crochet is ready. = 1 loop on hook
Insert the hook under both walls next. n. to the left of the center. line and repeat steps 2-4 until you reach the top edge of the cut. 
5. For the left side of the edge, start from the top edge of the garment, doing a half stitch. b / n to the left of the cut line (these will be loops to the right of the cut line, when viewed from the front of the clothes in a vertical position facing you).
Perform a half b / n as on the first side, making the same number of points and at the same distance (for example, 3 half b / n, skip 1, 3 half b / n, etc.)
When finished, remove the center line marker (pull out the red thread). 
6. Hold the work so that you have a good view of the cut. Use nail scissors to cut. It is necessary to cut only the threads of the broaches, each loop separately, including the edges of the set and the closing of the loops. 
If you are not getting a nice and neat edge when knitting, the method below will help you deal with this trouble.
Choice of option knitting edge loops is very important and depends on how you will use the edge of the knitted fabric in the future: sew, connecting the parts with a certain seam; pick up loops along the edge for further knitting or the edge will be as a finished open edge of the product. Edge loops are usually considered the first and last loop and are usually not taken into account the main pattern of the fabric, but sometimes the edge can be knitted from two or three loops from the edge. Consider the types of basic and decorative edges next.
The most common edge with education along the edge of the chain, such an edge is well suited for further stitching, it forms a smooth flat edge with the only drawback - it twists. When knitting this edge in the front row, remove the first loop as a front loop (thread at work), then knit the front row, knit the last one; turning the work over, in the purl row, remove the first loop without knitting it as a purl (thread before work), and knit the last loop purl.
A very similar edge with the same chain, in my opinion, with less twist. In the front row, knit the first loop with the front crossed (behind the back wall), knit the last loop with the classic front one, in the back row, remove the first and last loop without knitting it like a wrong one (thread before work).
For a clean edge without twisting, knit edge with knots, this edge looks harmonious in garter stitch. It is knitted almost like the first version of the edge with a chain, but in the front row, remove the first loop as a purl, placing the thread in front of work, knit the last one also; on the wrong side, knit the first stitch (thread at work), and purl the last stitch.
If you want to get a tight, neat, non-stretch edge, for example, for the open edge of a jacket, scarf, belt or placket, this is a good fit. double chain edge option. Such an edge is knitted on two loops at the beginning and at the end; when calculating the loops, consider not two, but four loops. In the front row: remove the first loop as a front one (thread at work), knit the second loop with the front one crossed, knit the penultimate loop with the front one crossed, remove the last loop. In the purl row, purl the first and last loops, and remove the second and penultimate loops as purl (thread before work). If you are knitting a front for a jacket, then knit the edge with a "double chain" on the open edge, and on the other a simple chain for further sewing.
Decorative Curl-free hem with straight chain on the sides is perfect for scarves, belts, straps and other open edges. It is knitted on two loops at the beginning and at the end of the fabric. In the front row, remove the first loop as a front one, knit the second one from the wrong side, also at the end of the row, knit the penultimate loop from the wrong side, and remove the last one without knitting. Turning the work on the wrong side, knit the first two and the last two edge loops on the wrong side.
Nice pearl edge well suited for knitting the edge of a shawl, scarf or for the edge edging of a plaid. The pearl pattern does not curl, does not stretch, and looks very neat. This edge is knitted on three loops at the beginning and at the end of the fabric: on the front side, knit the first loop from the wrong side, the second from the front, the third from the wrong side: the last three loops in the same order: wrong side, front, wrong side. In the reverse, purl row, knit the first and last three loops in the following order: front, back, front.

For bevels, add on both sides in the 3rd p. from the bar 1 x 1 p. and then alternately in each 8th and 6th p. add 8 x 1 p. = 63 (66) 69 p. After 21 (20) 19.5 cm = 64 (62) 60 p. close the front surface on both sides for an okat 1 x 2 (3) 4 p., then in the 2nd p. 1 x 2 p., in each 2nd p. 5 (6) 7 x 1 p., in every 4th p. 5 x 1 p., then again in each 2nd p. 5 x 1 p,. 1 x 2 p. and 1 x 3 p. Through 15.5 (16.5) 17 cm = 48 (50) 52 p. from the beginning of the okat, close the remaining 15 (14) 13 p.
Assembly: sew shoulder and side seams. On the front, sew the cuts to a length of 1 cm. For a round collar, starting from the right shoulder seam, dial on circular knitting needles No. 3.5 along the edge of 105 (108) 111 p. inside, then knit with an elastic band, while starting with 1 st of the front surface and 1 st of garter stitch.

Completing of the work
Back
On knitting needles No. 4.5, dial 89 (97-105-113) p. And in the 1st p. (= front row) distribute the loops as follows: chrome, 2 p.After 19 cm = 72 p. from the set row on all loops between the hem knit with a semi-patent pattern, at the same time for the side bevels on both sides, reduce (see Decorative side reductions) 1 time for 2 p. = 85 (93–101–109) p. times in the next 54th p. = 81 (89–97–105) p.
After 27 cm = 102 p. from the first decrease on the first and last 7 sts, knit with a garter stitch.
