Hand knitting designer, author and lecturer Ruth Herring demonstrates how to join Garter Stitch and Stocking Stitch seams using the Mattress stitch method. Mattress stitch is worked from the right side of the work and once mastered will produce seamless looking projects. It is the method of choice for joining Fair-Isle and other patterned work as the row ends can be matched to create a continuous looking piece of knitting. Perfect for those not confident at working in the round.
