Advanced Knitted Borders: Bindings for Enclosed Edges
Advanced Knitted Borders: Bindings for Enclosed Edges with Margaret Radcliffe
Knitted bindings are the perfect finish to enclose an edge if you want to make a project reversible, to enclose cut edges at armholes and neck on a stranded sweater, or to hide (and avoid weaving in) a multitude of ends on a striped project. Learn three ways to pick up and work borders that enclose the edge of your knitting.
This small group class is presented in collaboration with John C. Campbell Folk School and Lessonface. Students are invited to attend an optional Orientation and Closing Ceremony to connect with various online Folk School classes.
Class Materials
Students should provide:
• Plain, smooth, light-colored, worsted weight yarn for the homework swatches. Contrasting worsted weight yarn, wound into three balls of about 12 yards each for the borders we’ll add in class. Note that stretchy wool yarn will be easiest to work with.
• For homework, needles sized to create a gauge of 5 stitches per inch (US#6-8/4-5 mm), sewing machine or sewing needle and thread.
• For class:
◦ A circular needle with a thin cable 1 size larger than used to knit the swatches. (Denise circular needles with a tubular cable will not work)
◦ TWO circular needles with thin cables 2 sizes smaller than those used to knit the swatches. These do not need to be the same length. If you don’t already own needles this size, you could substitute needles 1 size smaller or the same size as those used to knit your swatches.
◦ Another pair of straight needles (single or double pointed) or an additional circular needles 2 sizes smaller than those used to knit the swatch. If you don’t already own needles this size, you could substitute needles 1 size smaller or the same size as those used to knit your swatches.
◦ A pair of straight needles or a circular needle 3 sizes smaller than those used to knit the swatch. If you don’t already own needles this size, you could substitute needles 2 size smaller than those used to knit your swatches.
◦ Sharp sewing shears.
◦ Yarn or tapestry needle.
