    June 1, 2020 /

    Today, I’m sharing with you some tips that will help you to improve the tension of the first and the last stitch, to avoid ugly sloppy edges. I’m adding this tutorial to my new playlist “Knitting Top Tips and Tricks” on my YouTube channel, so you can find them all in the same place 😉 This is what I always do to ensure perfect edges when knitting (all my secrets): Tip #1: Starting on the first row, don’t stretch the first stitch too much: When inserting the needle, don’t push it, knit the first using just the tip, so the first stitch isn’t overly stretched out.
