Hi. I’m doing this project on my knitting machine but hand knitting produces the same result. I’ve knitted a drop shoulder sweater and have joined the sleeve seam to the garment body. The same result happens every time when the garment portion of the seam rolls a bit over the sleeve portion of the seam. Pressing lightly with an iron help this but I’m wondering if hand grafting or some other method might not make the roll so obvious. In my case, I hang live stitches from the sleeve onto the needles then hang the garment portion by picking up both legs of the last stitch. Thus there are 3 strands of yarn over each needle.The bulk of the seam would lessen if I picked up just one leg of the last stitch of the garment side but this sounds to me like it might not hold well and so stretch out a bit.
Any thoughts about this anyone?
