Maman Sweater - Split Hem | Knitting Tutorial | Wild Knits Glasgow

[@bluebellhs]

Love this technique, looks very nice!

[@Susan-yb3hh]

Excellent finishing technique..thank you😊

[@Enig_Mata]

Thanks for sharing this nice technique for a clean look. Would this work as well for regular 1x1 ribbing?

[@wildknitsglasgow]

Yes, I don’t see why not! I used it on my Half Fisherman’s Rib Wild Winds Vest and it looks great there too!

[@Enig_Mata]

@@wildknitsglasgow Thanks so much for clarifying - I thought this was a technique for stockinette edges 😂. I just unraveled a sweater to lengthen and will try this out.

[@thejadetoth]

Great tutorial! Thank you! Could you modify this technique to create a single slit on one side of the garment rather than a double split? (I'm thinking of using this technique to add a slit to a skirt)

[@wildknitsglasgow]

Yeah, absolutely. You just split where you want and instead of having two splits to make a front and back piece you’ll just have one split.

What happens at the end of purl side? Are two stitches knitted together?

[@wildknitsglasgow]

Yes the yarn over and last stitch are always knitted together no matter if you’re on the wrong or right side.

[@beniciapatty]

How did you finish the sweater edge on bottom. Is this alternative to ribbing?

[@wildknitsglasgow]

Hi, it is a folded hem. There’s a tutorial up for it on the same playlist. And yes, it’s an alternative to ribbing!

[@karencote6810]

I understand on row 2 at the end, you knit the yo & the slst tog, but on row 3 (purl side) at the end, I purl the yo & slst tog...correct?

[@wildknitsglasgow]

No - they’re knitted together as well. This will create the neat edge that you see in the pictures (in the pattern).

[@j_filippo]

I have never seen someone purl like that.

[@racqthebelle]

I switched to this way of purling and never looked back 😂 my purls are so much faster now and making ribbing is less tedious

[@lizmarzec]

@@racqthebellewhat is this way of pearling called? I want to learn!

[@clarakf]

​@@lizmarzec you've probably found it by now since this was 2 months ago😅 but just in case, it's a Norwegian purl :))

[@karencote6810]

Also, how many rows do I knit total befor turning the hem up. I noticed you didn't do any striping after you split front from back.

[@wildknitsglasgow]

It’s always double the final length of the hem. It says how many rows/cm/inches to knit in the pattern to create the final folded hem length for the Maman Sweater. If you have specific questions on the pattern always feel free to email [e-mail]
