[2weddings10]

do you ever use fray check on your knots?

[verypinkknits]

@2weddings10 No, I've never used Fray Check...I just tie my knots really tightly, and I've never had a problem with them coming undone.

@hotdog1997 Yes - picking up 3 stitches over 4 rows is pretty standard. It has to do with the height of the standard knit stitch vs. the width.

@hotdog1997 The one I'm wearing in the video? No, that pattern is called "Central Park Hoodie", and it is knit in 5 separate pieces (back, 2 fronts, 2 sleeves), then seamed together. The hood is knit last, with stitches picked up around the neckline.
