BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Knitting Need help on adding a crochet border to knitted

OH MY - here I go again! Found a darling baby sweater
pattern to knit. All goes well until the finishing --
adding a crocheted border. It's just single crochet,
so that's OK - but how do I get ahold of the stitches
properly to begin?

The pattern just says "join yarn at right seam and
make sc for one row." Do I sc thru the cast on
row?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Think of it this way--you're adding the crochet row to give the sweater a finished look without the bulk of ribbing (I'm assuming, from what you said before). So you should grab the farthest out part of the edge that you can, so that you don't leave a ridge. Does that help?

Yes -- very helpful! So I should put the hook
thru the cast-on edge, not the first row of
stitches -- right?

Thank you, Becky!

I think that's right. Do a few inches and take a look at it. Does it look smooth, finished? If not, take it out and try it a little differently. You'll be able to see when the SC is leaving a nice, finished edge on your little sweater.
