Hello! Today I will be teaching you how to knit the keyhole back of this sweater top on a knitting machine, which I demonstrate on my LK-150. This is part 2 of a 5 part series on how to make this top and skirt set. In it I demonstrate all of the techniques used to make my new pattern "You Glow Girl" which you can find linked above. The pattern contains 10 sizes, and in this video I demonstrate making the size 3.
The techniques I cover in this video are how to scrap off half of your knitting to create the keyhole, tips for customizing your keyhole size, how to do the short row shoulder shaping, place your back neckline stitches on hold, shape the back neckline, and scrap off the shoulder and back neckline. I then show you how to rehang your other side and mirror the shaping and holding. Lastly, I show you how to join the shoulders using a 3-needle bind off to prepare for knitting the neckband. Enjoy!
