Knitting Mattress Stitch with Fiona Goble
This is a simple but useful sewing stitch which is used in knitting and allows the knitting to lay flat when joining two pieces on top of each other. Fiona shows us how easy this is, and while she demonstrates with contrast thread (or yarn) she would usually use the same colour as has been used in the knitted project. In this project she is joining two pieces which are flat, but the stitch is also, and more commonly used, when joining the side seams of a knitted project. Watch Now+
