Steeking is a technique used to knit tubes. Once finished, the
knitted tube is cut in the places where you would like to make an
opening or attach another piece. There is no purling or seaming
involved. In this class, focused on fair isle steeks, we will
discuss setting up steeks as well as planning and placing them. We
will explore unreinforced, hand sewn and crocheted steeks. So,
bring your scissors, and we’ll practice cutting your knitting!
