The amount of stretch varies from knit to knit, so Sarah Veblen, Sparks, Maryland, teacher and author, recommends that you try her techniques on assorted samples to learn how they behave and then experiment with the various types of neckline finishes you'll be creating.

Read Sarah's article, "Neckline Finishes for Knits," in the April/May 2003 issue of Threads (#106). If you're not certain how to quarter your binding and neckline, watch her other video, "A Turtleneck Finish for Knits."
