We talked about button bands and ratios in my 1, 2, Pick Up Stitches Class, and I promised those who took that class to teach gussets and crew necklines next. Here they are! We’ll be picking up and knitting stitches while navigating corners and avoiding messy holes. And then I’ll show you my favorite little trick for closing up any random loose areas. It works every time!
