Your pattern
will usually set out the order
of seaming: normally the shoulder
seams are joined first if you
have to pick up stitches to make
the neck band. There is a choice
of two methods, the edge-to-edge
seam and the back stitch seam.
An edge-to-edge seam is useful
on lightweight knits because it
is almost invisible and forms
no ridge.
A back stitch
seam is stronger and firmer and
is suitable for all garments but
it forms a ridge.
Edge-to-edge
seam
Place the pieces
to be joined edge-to-edge with
the "heads" of the knit
stitches locking together. Match
the pattern pieces carefully row
for row and stitch for stitch.
Using the main yarn, sew into
the head of each stitch alternately.
