Armhole edge on a vest

by Cindy
(Baltimore, MD)


I did a 4 row rib stitch on the armhole of the vest I’m making. After binding off, the ribbing looks more like a ruffle than a straight edge. What did I do wrong? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply to my dilemma. I pulled the stitches tighter and that seems to have solved the problem.

Hi Cindy,

I'm not sure what went wrong there but it sounded like the bound off stitches weren't tight enough. You could try using just a bit smaller needle to bind them off. I would try different ways of bind off (purl, knit and ribbing) and see which technique looks best. Although, many knitters prefer ribbing bind off ( k the k and p the p stitches)

You may want to look at this video for example;



or you could try an advanced method of "invisible cast off" which I haven't tried yet.



Have fun knitting!
