How to Add a Zipper to your Knits

Sewing a zipper into a knitted vest or cardigan may seem daunting, but as long as you work slow and steady the process is pretty straightforward - maybe even fun! In our video tutorial, Julie walks you through the steps of sewing a zipper into a Flynn vest two ways: by machine and by hand. Both versions include pinning, basting, trimming the zipper to size, and finishing. Yarns used: Machine sewn on a Flynn knit with Bread & Butter Bun + AVFKW Soft Current, and hand sewn on a Flynn in AVFKW Lambkin. ------------------------------ CLICK THE SUBSCRIBE BUTTON to be notified of new videos on the Cocoknits channel. ------------------------------ Website: http://cocoknits.com/ Facebook:   / cocoknits   Instagram:   / cocoknits   Pinterest:   / cocoknits   ------------------------------ RAVELRY About Me: http://www.ravelry.com/people/cocoknits Designs: http://www.ravelry.com/designers/juli...
