Cut your knitting! How to crochet reinforce and cut a steek

In this video I use the Galdor cardigan (releasing mid-June) to show how to work crochet reinforcements and cut steeks in the body of a cardigan.

Thanks so much for sharing 🌸🐑🌸

[@MarinaSkua]

I hope it was interesting and useful!

[@ajanetreiber5773]

I am keen to try this on your Galdor cardigan! Thank you for this very clear tutorial.

[@MarinaSkua]

Glad it helped! And I can't wait to see your version; thank you.

Thank you Marina, it has made Steeking seem less daunting and I am feeling confident in attempting now. no more putting it off

[@MarinaSkua]

I'm so glad it's made it a little less intimidating. Wield those scissors with glee!

Thank you for demystifying steeking for me. It is a technique I have yet to try, so I will definitely revisit this video when I do have an item to steek.

[@MarinaSkua]

Oh I'm so glad you're hoping to give it a go. It's one of those things that can feel really scary the first time, but once you've done it you wonder why you didn't do it sooner!

Thank you for this excellent tutorial! I was totally immersed and almost forgot that I am about to go to the dentist for a wisdom tooth extraction 😬!! Steeking has always been a mystery to me (and slightly terrifying) and most people show the dramatic cutting stage but you have totally demystified it - thank you 🙏

[@MarinaSkua]

Ahh glad to provide some informative distraction - and hope everything went okay! I'm so glad this has made steeking a bit less intimidating for you.

Thank you. I’m just knitting up a flax sweater I plan on steeking.

[@MarinaSkua]

Ooh, I hope that goes well for you!

[@annettestephens534]

it seems safe enough, but my heart was still racing a bit when you were cutting.
what is the sweater pattern you're wearing here? the cuff looks very intriguing.

[@MarinaSkua]

Hah, it's always nerve-wracking making that first snip! The design I'm wearing is Boskular: marinaskua.com/products/boskular-jumper-knitting-pattern
