TECHNIQUE EXPLANATIONS:
Tubular Bind-Off
Tubular Bind-Off is a sewn bind-off that produces a stretchy edge that looks like K1, p1 Rib.
1. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail at least 2-3 times longer than the width of the piece. Thread the tail onto a yarn needle. Place the knitting needle holding the stitches in your left hand.
2. Insert the yarn needle, as if to knit, into the first stitch on the knitting needle and draw the yarn all the way through. Drop the first stitch from the knitting needle. Note: If first stitch is a purl, insert yarn needle into first 2 stitches, draw yarn through and drop both stitches from knitting needle.
3. Insert the yarn needle, as if to purl, into the 2nd stitch on the knitting needle and draw the yarn all the way through. Do not drop any stitches from the knitting needle.
4. Insert the yarn needle, as if to purl, into the first stitch on the knitting needle and draw the yarn all the way through. Drop the first stitch from the knitting needle.
5. Insert the yarn needle from the back to the front between the first 2 stitches on the knitting needle and draw the yarn all the way through.
6. Insert the yarn needle, as if to knit, into the 2nd stitch and draw the yarn all the way through to the back of the work.
7. Repeat steps #2-#6 until there are only 1 or 2 stitches remaining on the knitting needle. Repeat step #2. If there is still a stitch remaining on the knitting needle, insert the yarn needle as if to purl, draw through and drop the stitch from the needle.
Tubular Cast-On
This Tubular Cast-On is a long tail cast-on that produces a neat, rounded, and stretchy edge that works well with K1, p1 Rib.
To Begin: Pull out a length of yarn that is 3 or 4 times the width of the piece you are about to knit (see schematic for measurements). Tie a slip knot and place it on the needle. Hold the needle in your right hand and grasp the working yarn with your left hand as for a long tail cast on. The slip knot counts as the first stitch. As you cast on, use the fingers of your right hand to hold the stitches on the right needle so that they do not slide around the needle.
Moving the needle tip away from you, take it over the yarn coming off your index finger. Moving the needle tip towards you, take it under the yarn coming off your index finger and over the yarn coming off your thumb. Moving the needle away from you, bring it under the yarn coming off your thumb and draw that yarn under the yarn coming off your index finger, forming a loop on the needle. Draw the loop up so that it is above both yarns. Gently tighten the yarns. You have cast-on one purl stitch.
Moving the needle tip towards you, bring it over the yarn coming off your thumb. Moving the needle tip away from you, take it under the yarn coming off your thumb and over the yarn coming off your index finger. Moving the needle tip towards you, bring it under the yarn coming off your index finger and draw that yarn under the yarn coming off your thumb, forming a loop on the needle. Draw the loop up so that it is above both yarns. Gently tighten the yarns. You have cast-on one knit stitch.
Repeat steps #1 and #2 until you have cast on the desired number of stitches. Take care to keep the tension of the last cast on stitch snug. To secure the last cast on stitch, twist the tail around the working yarn one or two times. If you are casting on an even number of stitches you will end with a step #1 (having just cast-on a purl stitch). If you are casting on an odd number of stitches you will end with a step #2 (having just cast-on a knit stitch).
Turn the work and work the following foundation rows.
Foundation Row 1: Slip the purl sts wyif, k the knit sts through the back loop.
Foundation Row 2: K the knit sts, sl the purl sts wyif.
Proceed with K1, p1 Rib as instructed.
NOTES:
Skirt is made from 2 identical pieces: Back and Front.
Each piece is worked from lower edge upwards.
With yarn in front (wyif) refers to the side of the work facing you as you work the row; with yarn in back (wyib) refers to the side of the work that is away from you as you work the row. To move yarn from front to back or back to front, bring yarn between needles. Take care not to wrap yarn over a needle, this could create an additional st.
When you see 'work in pattern as established' in the instructions, this means to work the next row of the pattern(s), lining up sts as in previous rows.
When you see work 'even' in the instructions, this means to continue on in the pattern st you have established without changing the st count by increasing, decreasing, or binding off.
