So helpful. I've only just started knitting Fair Isle and Continental style so hadn't even heard of steeking until a couple of weeks ago. This video makes it look straightforward but I shall be taking great care when I give it a go!!
Thanks so much for sharing, it is so delightful to understand a new craft and makes me feel confident enough to give it a go, Thanks again, Hugs and be safe
Thank you so much Irma, and fantastic that you are going to have a go! Steeking looks so scary but Juliet has made it so straightforward! Kindest, Merion x
I'd imagine the stage where you're picking up stitches would work excellently with a Tunisian crochet hook and then transferring onto a knitting needle
HI Freya - yes - that's a great idea! (We love Tunisian crochet, so another use for a a lovely long hook makes us very happy!!) Love Merion and the LoveCrafts team xx
Theoretically yes but it would be advisable to use a sewing machine to secure the fabric before you cut! Norwegian steeking techniques often suggest the use of a sewing machine to secure shaping for steeks that are for necklines and armholes - so I guess it's possible, but unless your colourwork is where you want the dart to be, I suspect it would be easier to create the shaping with stitches! Hope that helps! Kindest, Merion x

I have never steeked, now I think I can 😅. Never realised it was so simple and the finish was tidy. Thank you very much; from Australia 🐨🐨🦘🦘

Thank you so much for this. The tutorial made it look easy. I might give this a go.
Hi Dymphna! Steeking is so scary until you know how!!!! Give it a try and let us know how it goes! Kindest, Merion x
Is there a pattern for the mug cozy? I'd love a video on finishing steeked edges.
Yes please! I agree on the need for a video on encapsulating the steek as shown on the mug cozy. PLEASE

Super
Hi Mercy, we're so glad you enjoyed it! Steeking always looks so scary until you know how! Kindest, Merion and the LoveCrafts team x
Can you steek to create a dart in a garment? ie not along a straight vertical row of stitching?
