Knitting Strips Together -- Patches Baby Sweater 001.mp4

Knitting Strips Together -- Tutorial
Demonstration of technique used for Patches Baby Sweater, in book "Sock Yarn One-Skein Wonders" by Judith Durant. Video shows an alternate method to connect panels from that given in the book pattern directions. This join does not leave visible color loops from the left panel exposed on the right side of the join stitch, and also avoids a different-looking stitch at the right side of the join, (no little holes!). Video also clarifies when to K back row (rather than purl, as join stitch pattern directions indicate) in the beginning of the garter stitch border join. More tips from many knitters of this pattern, including from the pattern designer, can be found at www,ravelry.com.

What a GREAT tutorial! Your instructions and images are very clear. Thanks! I think the one color stitch looks more like how it would look if I seemed this by hand with a darning needle. The flat stitch join is a very attractive feature of this pattern. I could see varying it a few different ways to be even more decorative if your taste prefers... a contrasting yarn perhaps?

Thanks too for the tip about the garter stitch at the bottom. We late-night knitters might have missed that!
