CHIX – Crochet Borders for Knitted Projects

Chix will have Tamara Gooderham as our guest speaker. Tamara will begin her presentation at 10:10 am. Please be prompt.

Homework will be as follows:

Knit a square approximately 5″ by 5″ in a worsted weight yarn in stockinette stitch (knit one row, purl one row).

Don’t cast on or bind off too tightly since we will crochet into these stitches.

A smooth light colored yarn would best.

Please block the square beforehand and bind in the ends.

Bring:

the knitted stockinette stitch square
more yarn in the same color
4 stitch markers to put in the corners
a crochet hook half a metric size larger than the needle size used
(If you use size 7 / 4.5 mm needles bring a size 8 H 5mm crochet hook).

Skills required: Need to know how to do chain, single and double crochet stitches.
