Picking Up Stitches: Necklines, Hems & More

In your first lesson, Chris walks through many benefits of picking up stitches with care. You'll learn the differences between edgings and facings and get some practice by making the swatches used for other lessons.

It's time to pick up the pace! Start this lesson off with techniques for picking up along straight edges as Chris demonstrates techniques for both vertical and horizontal edging, handy skills for working along the sides and bottom of your project. Chris' fun "never skipping a martini" trick will help you pick up perfectly every time!

After learning linear pick up skills, try your hand at picking up around curves, specifically necklines. Follow along with Chris as she demystifies crew necks, V-necks and cardigan necklines to make them a breeze!
