Do you ever wonder why the edge of your knit project doesn't look as neat as you'd like? When you're knitting in rows (flat), there are many tricks to knit a cleaner edge. This is one I use most. Sometimes I learn one way of doing things and I stick to it because it works for me. Honestly, I like the messy look of the bumps for garter stitches.
I use this method for when I knit Stockinette stitches in rows. If you follow my work, you'll know that I usually knit in the round with circular needles. Of course, I'll knit flat if i'm knitting a blanket, scarf or certain garments. I'm not a fan of sewing pieces together! Unfortunately, sometimes, we just can't avoid it.
So, let's get back to the point. This simple trick will give you a nice braided edge. All you need to do is slip the first and last stitch knit-wise on the right side of your work. Then you purl the first and last stitch on the wrong side of your work. You'll work the stitches in-between as normal according to pattern.
