Have you ever struggled with neckband finishing? Maybe your neckband turned out too narrow or too wide, the stitches around the neckline looked untidy, or it was tricky to spread the stitches evenly? What seems like a simple step can cause so many little frustrations!
Over the years, I’ve developed my own set of tricks and techniques to avoid these common issues - not only for neckbands, but also for other ribbed edges like sleeve cuffs and cardigan bands.
I’ve shared
them all in a new video on my YouTube channel: “Perfect Neckline Every Time – Knitting Mistakes &
Fixes.”
In the video I covered the
following mistakes:
-
Loose
pick up stitches for neckband
-
Pick
up ratio for front and back
-
Narrow
neckline and bind off problem
-
Wide
neck opening
-
Loose
gauge for ribbing
I also shared my tricks which
would help you fix those and many other mistakes as well as showed how to knit
the neck band correctly.
I hope you’ll
find some tips in there that make your knitting easier and your finishing even
neater. ✨
Grab you cuppa and enjoy watching the video.
