Another way to make this type of shaping is to finish the part at the right-hand side of the project first. Then use the working yarn to bind off center stitches and finish the part at the left-hand side of the bound-off stitches.

“Work both sides at the same time”. “Finish both sides separately”. “Work both sides at once”. These instructions mean the same thing – we knit and purl two groups of stitches simultaneously.

Knit 5 together is not required in the patterns often (thankfully!), but when we do need to work it, it could be tricky. The approach described in this tutorial makes it easier. Happy knitting!

Ooooh, Christine, I can imagine how upsetting it is. You can use the approach described in this tutorial to purl 3 together. First, pass two stitches one by one over the first stitch on the left needle, and then purl that stitch. Happy knitting!

No matter what kind of yarn we use and how perfect our tension is, inserting the right needle knitwise into five stitches at the same time is not easy.

It would be great to know a way to securely join yarn so that we could simply trim the ends and avoid spending hours weaving in multiple yarn tails.

Regular Kitchener stitch is used to join two sets of open stitches. The method described in this tutorial allows us to join one set of open stitches to a cast-on edge (an edge formed by "closed" stitches). Happy knitting!

As an additional bonus, this colourful pattern works great for using up leftover yarn. If you have odd balls of yarn in your stash, you can easily make a scrap scarf or a scrap blanket that doesn’t look like a “scrap project” at all.

This method works best when the side edges of the project are decorated with slip-stitch selvedges. To make the edges of the swatches I slipped the first stitch and purled the last stitch of every row.

I’m more than happy to share with you a method that forms an interesting edge with overlapping loops on top. These yarn loops look like droplets of water that we see on tree branches and on garden furniture after a rain.
