    1. I'm not sure about the sewing machine, I have never tried that before. However, I pasted a link to a tutorial below that might help. When I seam up my hats, etc. I use the whip stitch. It works good for me and if you do it neatly, it looks perfectly fine.

    1. Sure! It is a simple increase, and means "knit front and back" or KFB. I did a photo tutorial a while back, here's the link:

  6. When I cast on 34 stitches and did the k2p2 ribbing for 5 rows, it didn't seem to turn out right. Should it be a multiple of 4 instead? Like 32 or 36? Or maybe I just messed up when I was counting....?

    Love your blog!
