Reyka is a new simple selvedge. It’s very decorative, with an unusual line along the edge. It makes very tidy edges, flat and identical on either side, and therefore highly recommended for scarves and shawls. Reyka is perfect for garter stitch and other compressed stitch patterns, as well as seed stitch.
There are two varieties of Reyka selvedge: with a single line and with double lines. We will study both of these: how to start, work, and finish them by knitting a few samples in a variety of stitch patterns.
A useful handout with text and video tutorial will be provided.
