Knitting Wisdom

Selvedge stitches are extra stitches that are included for seaming. They are added to the lower sections of the vest. After the first bind offs, the selvedge stitches are removed.

This is a good pattern to learn how to cable without using a cable needle, by repositioning the stitches and then knitting them in a new order to create a cable. For the 3/3 LC: Put right needle behind work and slip into the back legs of the fourth, fifth, and sixth stitches; pull left needle from all 6 stitches (3 remain on right needle, 3 will drop toward front); insert left needle into the 3 open dropped stitches; slip 3 stitches from right needle back to left needle. Stitches have been repositioned. Knit across 6 stitches.

For the 3/3 RC: Put right needle to front of work and slip into the front legs of the fourth, fifth, and sixth stitches; pull left needle from all 6 stitches (3 remain on right needle, 3 will drop to back); insert left needle into the 3 open dropped stitches; slip 3 stitches from right back to left needle. Stitches have been repositioned. Knit across 6 stitches.
