Many find it scary to cut in knitwear, while others have no problems and are more than happy cutting without sewing with a sewing machine or crocheting an edge before cutting. Highly recommend that you read the text below to get a better understanding of the video. In this DROPS video we use the yarn DROPS Nepal and show 3 different ways to sew / attach threads before cutting. We also show 6 different bands. We do not show how the bands are knitted in this video. The sample pieces in the video have 7 steek stitches (= cutting stitches) as we work with each other every color and the mid stitch is marked with a contrasting thread. You can also have more or less steek stitches (= cutting stitches). Often a jacket pattern will be explained how to knit back and forth, so these steek stitches are not explained in the pattern, but you have to add them yourself. On sample piece A and B a row with double crochets are worked, while on sample piece C, D, E and F, a sewing machine is used before cutting.
