Tip
You can use a knitted edging or trim as a means to experiment with colour in a design. Bear in mind that your edging does not need to be the same colour as the main knitted piece: you could use a contrasting or a complementary colour. Other decorative elements such as beads and tassels can also be added in either contrast or complementary colours. Also remember that knitted trims can be added to other types of fabric such as woven material; attach the knitted trim with a sharp sewing needle and matching sewing thread.
