joining
what to use
Using the yarn ends, mattress stitch together the sides of the squares using:
- Homelea Happy 10ply or a yarn that’s smaller than super chunky: a darning needle
- Homelea Bliss or a super chunky yarn: use fingers
If the yarn end isn’t long enough to do the full length of the join, cut a length of yarn the same colour and continue the join with the new piece of yarn.
how to do mattress stitch
Mattress stitch can feel a bit strange to start with, but its rhythmic movements soon become soothing. Doing the join somewhere flat (like on a table) is the easiest way to create a flat and even join.
How to do mattress stitch:
- starting from the centre of the join and going away from the join, put the needle or yarn end under a loop on one side of the join
- then starting from the centre of the join again and going away from the join in the opposite direction, put the needle or yarn end under a loop on the other side of the join
Helpful hint: alternate the needle between different hands when going from one side to the other.
Where to put the needle or yarn:
- if joining along the end of the rows: put the needle under 2 or 3 loops for each row (this is for treble (UK) / double (US) rows
- if joining along the foundation chain or last row: put the needle under the loop or leg of the V that’s facing up
Want the outside edge to be straight? When starting or finishing on the outside, loop the yarn through the corners of both squares so there isn’t a gap at the corners and the outside edge appears to be continuous.
