What type of seaming technique?

#1

I’m ready to seam up my bobblicious (link in my signature) - this is my first experience having knit something where the reverse st is the public side - what type of seaming technique should I use for this??

Thanks for any thoughts:)

…and…assuming i find an appropriate way to seam reverse stockinette, is a bulky weight yarn too thick to seam with? should i get embroidery thread or something instead??

i can’t believe such a simple pattern is causing all these finishing issues for me… i guess that’s why i normally knit everything in the round :thinking:

I believe you need to do mattress, but pick up the lower purl loop on one side and the upper purl loop on the other.

thanks ingrid - any thoughts on yarn thickness?

:thinking: The yarn is hidden with mattress, but I’m not positive how bulky would look. Since the stitches are bulky it may be fine. Worth a try, anyway. I think embroidery thread might pull the stitches to tightly together.

fyi - the bulky yarn worked just fine - a thick seam, but it’s a thick garment…
