One of the defining design elements of the new Rhombuster Scarf pattern is its picked up stitch border. Using a contrasting yarn, the bold border gives the scarf hard lines, really defining its contemporary, rhombusy shape. If you’re new to picking up stitches in knitting, I’ve shot a video tutorial for you demonstrating on the same yarn the Rhombuster was designed with. So if you’ve ever read the phrase “pick up and knit,” whether in the Rhombuster pattern or elsewhere, keep this video in your back pocket as a quick and easy reference. Enjoy!
The yarn featured in the video was provided by Blue Sky Fibers.

June 9, 2018 at 9:05 amWas looking forward to watching your video on “picking up stitches” along the edge of a garment, but
Was disappointed because my wrap is too long for the many stitches I would have to pick up.
Is there a simpler way for me to do this? My garment is “curling” ….and adding stitches is the way
To remedy this, I was told. Any suggestions are welcome, thank you Heidi,
Dana
