Flat bottom!

Hi Anne

Have you got a quick and easy flat hem I can put on the bottom of a tunic? I don’t like rib pulling in to reveal my (now) not so sylph-like shape! Here’s hoping and I use a ribber if that helps. Best wishes, Lynda

Here’s a quick and easy flat hem to use anywhere a rib isn’t required and start with full needle rib. The tension needs to be 0/0 and knit the zigzag row then three circular rows. Transfer alternate ribber stitches to the main bed and make sure the empty needles are in non-working position. Add weights and using a rib tension, continue knitting circular for the depth required. Transfer the ribber stitches to the main bed and continue knitting on the single bed. By the way, this will look better if the ribber tension is tighter than the main bed tension.
