But you may like the way it looks after completing the knitting, if you have very even tension; it will not stay this way when it is washed later on. When it doubt, wash (block).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349567044794406260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-314536964886430384.post-74094170983976562862017-05-13T00:57:29.489-07:002017-05-13T00:57:29.489-07:00I didn't bother, because it looked fine stretc...I didn't bother, because it looked fine stretched around the pillow.

Then in the three needle bind off you close the top by knitting a stitch from the front and a stitch from the back together. The instructions for the three needle bind off above should close up the top, but it might be a different version of a three needle bind off to what you've seen before?littletheoremhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818810450077265058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-314536964886430384.post-80306677049856622182016-08-29T04:05:11.305-07:002016-08-29T04:05:11.305-07:00I must be missing something here, I've been kn...I must be missing something here, I've been knitting for over 40 years and the way I read your pattern, by the time you're finished you still have one side open that will require sewing or closing of some type but I see no indication of how to do this in your pattern. I understand figure 8, been using it for years but if you close one side to knit it and do a 3 needle bind off at the end, then what are we doing with the other side that is open? Is the pattern suppose to start with a false cast on? Londonlisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13019514326406317829noreply@blogger.com
