RIBBER EDGINGS
Demo – Diana Sullivan
Tips for Successful Ribbed Edgings:
· Start by using a thin yarn, such as a 2/24 – avoid bumpy yarns · Insert fine knitting bar · Use a little more weight than usual for ribbing · Almost all of these work well in 1 x 1 ribbing, but practice first with thinner yarn and full needle rib. If needle selection is used, push the double-width button. Tensions will have to be adjusted for 1 x 1 ribbing.
