Welcome to Lesson Eight

Let's tidy up those loose ends and get you proudly wearing your new sweater!

Weaving in Ends

Everyone does this a little differently. Here are a few ways to go about it - you can choose which works best for you. It's also a good idea to leave trimming your tails until your sweater is finished blocking so we have included a tip for keeping track of your ends as you go.

Blocking Your Finished Sweater

You're almost there! But don't skip this final step. Blocking settles your stitches, smooths your fabric and gives you an opportunity to add a little bit of length or width if needed. Click play to watch our guide to to this final flourish - and then be sure to share your FO with us - we can't wait to see!
