How do I shape a neckline without losing my lace or tuck pattern?
Stop fighting with complex stitches and start shaping like a pro.
Forget hand-manipulation. Use Cut 'n Sew to secure your knitting with a sewing machine and cut the shape you need.
Why This Works
Shaping while knitting complex patterns like lace or Fair Isle is a recipe for dropped stitches and frustration. The Cut 'n Sew method lets you knit 'yardage' first, focusing entirely on your stitch pattern. Then, you use a sewing machine to secure the stitches and cut the exact shape you need. It’s the ultimate shortcut for perfect necklines and armholes.
Try This
- Use an unneeded swatch and draw a curve on it with a pen
- If desired, mark a neckline shape. Use a KIN neckline template to guide your shaping →
- Sew along the marked line with a sewing machine or serger
- Take a deep breath and cut 1/4–3/8 inch from the stitching line with a sharp pair of scissors
- Observe the stability of the cut edge
