(505) Classic Hems for Your Machine Knitted Sweater
The classic hems are a great foundation for single bed machine knitting. We’ll begin this class with a discussion of what makes a good hem. Then we’ll immediately jump beyond the plain hem to knit a few of the more complex classics. Strategies for efficient tool use and hem variations will be introduced. Use these hems at the start of a front, back, or sleeve on both full-fashion or cut-and-sew sweater panels.
Any gauge flatbed knitting machine is suitable for these techniques along with the standard machine knitting tools (transfer tools, latch hook, etc.). No ribber is required.
