Over the weekend I applied the pattern written neck band to my Worsted Boxy. Guys…I hate it. Straight up white hot disgust. Take a look….
It looks sloppy and when I try it on, the weight of the sweater pulls ALL of the roll out of the collar so it’s just a big chuck of stockinette. And my tension got wonky in a couple of places and I may not have picked up in the cleanest fashion. It all just look Homemade instead of Handmade.
So I ripped it back and grabbed a crochet hook (that took me like 24 minutes to find) and added just a simple single crochet edge treatment. I have a few ends to snug up and weave it. But this feels MUCH better to my eyes. And it sits much nicer around my shoulders when I tried it on.
Now on to sleeves! Happy Knitting!!

I can definitely relate to the differences between homemade and handmade. It’s all in the finishing. Sometimes you just have to go with your gut. Looks clean and neat.

“White hot disgust” (chuckle) glad you found a simple solution. It does look loads better.
