Tips & Hints
Garter Stitch is a reversible fabric, meaning
that both sides look exactly the same. Although that is true, it
is wise to designate one side as the Right Side of the fabric so
that all yarn ends will be woven in on the Wrong Side of the fabric.
A purchased stitch marker can be used for marking
the right side of the fabric, or a short length of a contrast color
yarn tied loosely through a stitch will work just as well. Remove
the marker after all ends are woven in.
Leave a 6" yarn end before casting on stitches
and after binding off.
Use the yarn needle to weave these ends in neatly on the wrong
side of the fabric in a zig-zag pattern for a few inches, and then
trim off excess.
A Yarn Needle is a blunt-tipped needle with a large eye
that will accommodate many different sizes of yarn.
To thread yarn into the needle: fold the yarn end over the eye section
of the needle and squeeze it lightly between 2 fingers; withdraw
the needle from your fingers, push the open side of the eye down
over the yarn that is still squeezed between your fingers –
the yarn should slip easily into the eye.
