Attaching Your Glissade Waist Band

Attaching Your Glissade Waist Strap Stitches

[NOTE: This technique is used in the Glissade Shrug. The technique described below illustrates the attachment of the waist band to the body of the shrug.]

You will be attaching your waist band to the bottom edge of the shrug. You will be working from the bottom left corner of the shrug across to the bottom right, picking up 1 stitch in each stitch at the cast on edge, and approximately 2 stitches for every 3 rows along the ribbing.

In order to create a clean edge where the chest band and the shrug meet, I recommend picking up sts one row below the cast on edge.

1. USING YOUR RIGHT HAND NEEDLE, PICK UP ONE STITCH FROM THE SHRUG.

2. PLACE THE PICKED UP STITCH ONTO YOUR LEFT HAND NEEDLE.

3. KNIT THE PICKED UP STITCH TOGETHER WITH THE FIRST STITCH OF YOUR CHEST BAND
