Once you get past those first few rows or inches, you’ll pick up speed and see your joinery improving. The beauty of mattress stitch — especially at the start of the seam — is that to pull it out, all you have to do is yank on one end. You can guarantee that this will happen if the band specializes in improvisation or song creation.
Many people love the look of crochet squares and other motif-based projects, but they hate sewing all of the pieces together at the end of the project.

It’s blocked at pattern dimensions, and I believe the gauge is also the same.I’ve never actually done it on a crewneck (straight fronts) sweater. Thanks! Before you proceed to make your first button band, you may want to test out a couple of these methods on a swatch, and see how they work with your desired buttons. Thank you thank you! In that case, you have everything you need to prepare well and ace the audition.
Agree with previous poster about your clear directions, and how amazing it is that you’ve only been knitting for a relatively short period of time!Apparently I’m outside the norm on this one.
