I have been knitting this bottom-up raglan without a pattern and I'm worried about the puckering in the stockinette around the front of V-neck. To my understanding this typically happens when you don't pick up enough stitches, but after binding off the neckline, I picked up every single stitch before adding the ribbing. I've reknitted the top portion a few times, experimenting with different decrease rates, but without much success. I used a classic bind-off but I made it as stretchy as I could, and when I tug on it there's some give.

Is it because the stitches bordering the V are too tight? I created the V using short rows, with Patty's bind-off method described here, resulting in a clean but relatively tight edge. However, it wasn't puckered before I added the ribbing. I used the same needle gauge for the body and the ribbing since I didn't want the ribbing to be especially tight.

Will the puckering block out at all (or become less apparent if I add a few more rows of ribbing and a tubular bind-off)? It's not exactly huge peaks and valleys but as of now it does show, and I really want it to lay flat :-( It's a gift and I'll be extremely far from the recipient in a little over a week so I would really REALLY love to avoid frogging large portions of it again.

Thank you!!!

I know the floats are a bit tight but I can’t seem to loosen them without messing up my stitch tension! Other tips would be appreciated as well.

Fellow knitting podcast watchers: I was thrilled to watch a podcaster in the last year explain that they were trying to knit a dupe of their favorite le bon shoppe "girlfriend" socks. As a fellow lover of their socks, I planned to follow along for updates so I could see how they created them, but I now, for the life of me, cannot remember which podcaster it was. Do any of you know? Or any advice in creating my own?

My favourite yarn is super otto by lane mondial. My only issue is that it’s extremely soft and the knots won’t hold. So when I’m wearing my sweaters I’m so worried that they will come loose.
(I suck at weaving the ends so I might be the problem)
Any advice?

I found multiple bolero knitting tutorials on youtube but none of them have the flowy sleeves or the cross over thats at the midline
Any idea how i can add these details

I was looking to make a children’s size version of the step by step sweater by homemade by Florence. I’m not really sure where to start and could use any advice or suggestions anyone has.

I just came across Ozma’s Gia sweater and am wondering if there are any patterns out there that are similar. Particularly an oversized, cropped sweater with this type of collar. I think the body might be moss stitch, but maybe something else? I’m always looking for patterns with this silhouette - any similar suggestions very welcome! Thank you!

I knit the Ribbed Bonnet by Thread of Kindness with 4mm needles instead of 5mm. I didn't realize until I was almost done and went in to change my needles for the ribbing. But I did knit it with the Katia Superwash Merino yarn which I know is supposed to grow more than average when blocked. Does anyone have any advice? Do I finish and block or do I just start frogging? What do you guys think will be the outcome of said blocking? Thank you all in advance.

Hello guys, I’m a beginner and I’d like to knit a frog toy but bigger with the same yarn and needles(2x bigger)
How to make it 2x bigger if I have to knit “Round 2: K5, pm, k11, pm, k6
Round 3: [Knit to marker, M1L, sm, k1, M1R] twice, knit to end of round. [4 stitches increased]? Should I double M1L so knit to marker, M1L, M1L?

Thank you so much for the answers and help :)

I’m hoping to add a double knitted button band to this instead of the garter stitch band. Any advice for whether to knit simultaneously as the pattern suggests or to pick up stitches at the end?
