@makingmaddy: I was mind blown when I learned about steeking! Steeking allows you to knit the front panel of your cardigan in one piece to keep the coloring and pattern the same on each side. Cast on the amount of stitches you need for two panels and add an extra stitch. That extra stitch will be used in the middle of all your stitches for the steek. You can do that stitch a different stitch or color to make it obvious. After you've cast off, cut along that middle incorrect stitch to divide the panel in two matching panels! Note that some yarn should use a sewn/crocheted reinforcement before steeking. You can leave as is, but I'm going to pick up the stitches along the edge for the ribbing on my cardigan! #knittingtiktok #knittingtutorial #knittersoftiktok #knitter #knittingtips #fiberart #fiberartist
But how does it not unravel? I don’t understand 🤯🤯🤯

But how does this work w/out looking aesthetically unappealing? You still see little scraps where you cut.

I still don’t understand what people do to make steaking possible. I don’t get it, could be from shock, might be my last overstimulated brain cell, could be sorcery? 🤷🏼♀️

I'm curious why you didn't knit the whole thing in the round if you were going to steek?

I want to try steeking, because a cardi would be more useful than another sweater, but omg the fear! You must have nerves of steel!
