Build a Vest: joining Front and Back video

Progress is being made on my vest version of the Build A Bigger V cardigan, and yes I am knitting like a crazy person. The Front is knit as a pullover. Nice and easy since it’s just the Back again without the beginning triangle at the neck. Done.

Now I have to attach them together so I can knit out to the edge of my shoulder.

Both the Front and Back have a 2 stitch I-cord worked along each edge. I’m going to use those I-Cord stitches for the pick up. Hang on, it’s a tricky ride.

Ta, da. Phew, done. Not hard to do. It’s just lots and lots of stitches.

Bye for now, Deb

I'm a Knitter. The capital K means every day, everywhere. I started designing as co-owner of Cabin Fever with my sister Lyn. We have published over 160 patterns and 11 books. I'm also working on a new set of patterns for Any Gauge or Gauge-free knitting so you can dive into your stash and cast on for a Top Down sweater that fits, or an accessory to use up those odd balls of yarn.

  2. Interesting technique! I’ve often used I-cord edgings but never thought to pick up from them. Wondering now how that would work for join-as-you-go afghan blocks…..
