Hello! Today I will be teaching you how to knit a neckband on a knitting machine, which I demonstrate on my LK-150. This is part 3 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 pick up the neckband of your sweater, including how to pick up selvedge stitches, held stitches, the ratio at which to pick them up, and how to pick up before and after the scrapped off neckline stitches to ensure a smooth transition. I then show you how to knit the neckband and offer tips for fixing dropped stitches. Lastly I show you how to join the other shoulder using a 3-needle bind off, seam the neckband to the inside of your sweater top, and lastly seam the neckband edges together. Enjoy!
