That is the last sentence of the pattern and though it sounded sensible when I first read it now that I am poised to do it, I can’t figure out what I’m supposed to do. This is a pattern for a headband and I’ve never run across this particular instruction for joining two ends. I’m a newbie so it may not be all that unusual. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks.
Join work to cast on edge? (Do not bind off first)
It sounds like you have to sew the live stitches to the cast-on edge? It would make a less bulky seam. Put yarn on a tapestry needle and put it through the stitch, slide it off, and sew through the cast on edge. I think.
Thanks Ingrid! i went ahead (was determined to finish this today!) and did an ordinary bind off and joined with mattress stitch. What you described makes sense. I’ll probably make the pattern again; I liked the outcome; and will try your suggestion. At the end of the pattern it said it was translated from Norwegian…and there were a couple of obvious mistakes in the pattern, so who knows??? Something might have been lost in the translation! :knitting:
