Applied Border
Bind off the last row of stitches while simultaneously adding a knitted border to shawls and so much more!
Mrs. Hunter’s Pattern
This lovely lace pattern comes to us from the famous Hunter family who pioneered Shetland lace. Unfortunately, they are no relation to me but I do feel a kinship as I knit this fun and easy design.
Bind Off – in middle of work
Binding off the last row is simple, but binding off at the ends of a row (armholes, lace points) or in the middle of a row (necklines, buttonholes) is handled differently. Watch this video to learn to properly count your stitches and expertly shape garments.
Double Yarn Over (yo twice)
A Double Yarn Over creates two new stitches and results in a much larger hole than a single yarn over. This video demonstrates a Double Yarn Over between knit and purl stitches for both Western and Continental knitters.
Yarn Over – Afterthought
Did you forget to place a yarn over in a row of knitting? No need to rip out the row! Place the yarn over in the following row and continue with your pattern by working an Afterthought Yarn Over.
