Hi, you’re welcome! Yes, that’s correct – I go through 4 layers of fabric back and forth, and I insert the needle right below the cast-on/bind-off edges.

Before I get going I have established that I feel comfortable with everything but the actual sewing of the seam. Your photo shows the yarn end in a needle and you look like you are just going to sew through to one side and back to the other all the way along. Is this correct? And are you just going immediately below the cast on/casted off edge?

You can use the 6.5mm needles – 0.5mm is not a huge difference. The result will also depend on the yarn you are using and your personal gauge. If you will see, that the knitted fabric looks too loose – start again and try to knit tighter (but this will probably feel less comfortable).

Hello, thank you so much for you comment! Those purl stitches are slipped on the following row, so maybe, when you are slipping the first two stitches, try to slip them a bit tighter? This way the purl stitches won’t stretch out as much.

Any advice on how to avoid the edge with the two purls at the end to be so loose? I’m trying hard to create as much tension as I can but it sill ends up be way loser than the rest of the work.
Thank you

Hello, currently I don’t have a video tutorial. I’d recommend going through the pattern slowly to try to find out, where is the problem. You should slip 1 stitch, then purl the next 2 stitches. Make sure, that you’re slipping stitches only on the right side rows. You work the stitches as they appear on the wrong side rows.

Will you be doing a tutorial for the grain headband it’s a really pretty headband. I have tried to knit this twice and it’s not working out I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m slipping the stitches with yarn in back as the pattern says.

Hi, Vanessa, sure, you can knit this headband in worsted weight yarn. I’d suggest checking the yarn label for the recommended needle size (typically it’s 4.5mm/ US7- 5.5mm/US8), and casting on 21 stitches (or 25, if you want the headband to be wider).

Thank you
