Intro to Steeking: Falling into Autumn Knit Headband

Learn steeking! Sponsored by the ‪@handsonknittingcenter1294‬ this FREE one-hour class will cover everything you need to know about steeking, demonstrated on a gorgeous autumnal knit headband. Stranded colorwork is most easily worked in the round. Which is great when you want a pullover. But if you want a cardigan, your choice is to work it flat or to steek it. A steek is simply an area roughly 7 stitches wide that we add to a piece to later cut and pick up stitches. They can be added for V-necks, sleeves, or button bands. In the Intro to Steeking we will knit a headband in the round using the Falling into Autumn motif that is also in the Steeked Cardigan KAL. It also acts as your gauge swatch for the cardi. Molly will show you three options for steeking and talk about a 4th. The steeking options vary with the type of yarn you use.
