Learn how to get a professionally finished look on your knits during this workshop. We will cover the three different types of seams you’ll encounter when you put together your pieces, plus you’ll get tons of extra tips like how to weave in tails so they don’t come loose or peek through the front of your work.

Technique Requirements: knit/purl, cast on/bind off

US 8 (5mm) knitting needle, worsted weight yarn.

Swatch 1: Cast on 28 stitches
Row 1 (RS): knit 28
Row 2 (WS): purl 14, knit 14.
Repeat these last 2 rows for 6” and bind off.

Swatch 2: Cast on 28 stitches
Row 1 (RS): knit 28
Row 2 (WS): knit 14, purl 14.
Repeat these last 2 rows for 6” and bind off.

If you have time and would like to save examples of the seams you’ve worked (rather than pulling them out to practice other seams), make an additional 2 swatches in this same way.
