The Step-By-Step Guide to Knitting Confidence
How can you create knitted pieces in rounds, squares, and tubes without mis-shaping, dropping stitches or destroying the original design? No worries! As author Jennifer E. Seiffert explains in her book Fearless Knitting Workbook, there are 4 ways to effectively shape your knitting without breaking a sweat.
1) Changing the number of stitches
The most common, stress-free way to create shapes is to add or remove stitches at either end of a row or within a row.
2) Changing the Gauge
Need to change the width without changing the number of stitches? Don’t fret, just change the gauge by changing your stitch pattern or changing the size of your needles.
3) Knitting “Short-rows”
Ready to change the length of part of a piece? Simply create a short-row by knitting across only some of the stitches on the needle.
4) Adding Onto the Side of a Piece of Knitting
Concerned about making a piece wider? Master this technique by knitting onto your piece in a different direction with a “pick up and knit” stitch.
You can gain strength and confidence in your shaping with these 4 steps through classically designed swatch exercises, easy-to-understand language and step-by-step directions
