Finish-Free Knitting Techniques Seamless Knit Sweaters Kristen Tendyke DVD

Knit More. Seam Less!

Do your knitted sweaters languish in pieces, waiting for the motivation to weave in the ends and put them together? When you bind off the last stitch of a seamless sweater, you skip past the finishing and go straight to wearing your creation. Learn no-sew knitting techniques to create polished, great-looking knitted sweaters in Finish-Free Knitting Techniques with Kristen TenDyke.

Designer Kristen TenDyke, author of Finish-Free Knits, shares her expert advice on this Interweave KnitsWorkshop. She demonstrates how you can make sophisticated garments with set-in sleeves, pockets, and other fine details without sewing a single seam. Learn these clever knitting techniques to create shapely, stable sweaters:

How to pick up stitches along any edge for an elegant look
Where to add short-rows for better-fitting necks and sleeves
When to use provisional, cable, knitted, and even backward-loop cast-ons
How to create edgings, casings, and even pockets seamlessly
Why even finish-free knitting requires a tapestry needle, and how to use it (rarely!)

With instructions for casting on, shaping, embellishing, and binding off your no-sew garments, this video workshop will have you wearing your new favorite knits in no time.

Plus, practice your finish-free knitting skills with the bonus FREE Blooming Forest Pullover pattern by Kristen TenDyke!
