Selvage stitch (fabric edge)


  • When you work in rows the way you start each row shapes the edge of the knitted fabric.
    This edge looks like a knit stitch that is formed vertically. Each stitch is spread over two rows. It is easy to count number of rows by multiplying each stitch by 2. This type of edge is the best for seaming.
  • How to count rows
  • Purl last stitch, slip first and knit second
  • Purl last stitch, slip first and purl second
