Hello friends! 🤗 This is my first ever "tutorial" but since it was my first *EVER* time steeking a garment, it's kind of more like a walk through vlog.
Each step isn't explained in a lot of depth, my intention was more to give a broad overview for intermediate to advanced knitters who will be familiar with the techniques used and are only needing to see how each is implemented step by step.
Overall I wanted to show how easy steeking actually is! As I said, this was my first time doing it and everything went so smoothly. It's not scary at all and there's absolutely nothing to be anxious about.
To be honest, steeking is the most fun a knitter can have without getting our needles out 😉
