Welcome to the 4th instalment of our Farrah top Knit Along (KAL): Shaping your armholes and straps.
Head over here to check out all of our Farrah top KAL posts so far.
For this this week you will be working through the following techniques to complete the back piece of your top:
Casting off (to create the steps to create the armhole shape and to finish off your straps).
Knitting 2 stitches together (this decreases the number of stitches in your row and if you consistently decrease over a series of rows – as your do in the Farrah top – you end up creating a neat, sloping edge).
Slipping stitches (we slip the first stitch of each row so that your armhole edge is nice and neat).
Joining a new ball of yarn
The sharp-eyed among you will notice that we already covered all of these steps in our week 2 Farrah top KAL. Rather than running through it all again, if you need a little refresh on these particular skills, head over to our week 2 KAL post here.
That’s it for this week, your Farrah top is almost complete! See you next week for a helping hand with the neatest ways to sew up your knitting!
