Attaching a knit edge to crochet-Nov 6

Beschreibung

Attaching a knit edge to your crochet project Fill in the blank “I don’t like crochet because…” most people who knit sweaters would say they don’t like crochet because they don’t like the way the ribbing looks. I get it, neither do I which is why I prefer to cross crafts and use knitted cuffs and hems on my crochet sweaters, around the neckline though I must admit, I like a bit of crochet which we’ll cover in another one of our skill building sessions this Winter. For the Fall let’s build on what we already have learned and prepare to take on a new crocheted sweater or other wearable garment with ribbing by exploring how to knit cuffs onto our crocheted edges. After class you’ll be ready to tackle a combination project like the Jethro Sweater. Homework: Crochet 2 traditional granny squares 4”x4” using a US G or H hook and worsted weight yarn, seam along two edges to make a tube which we will pretend is the cuff of an arm during class. Class materials: Please bring to class a US 7 9” circular or two 16” circulars or a set of DPNs, contrasting but coordinated worsted weight yarn of a solid color for ease of seeing the stitches or variegated if you are comfortable working with it.
