🎥 Machine knitted cardigan — Part 2 — Cut and Sew

Simple cut and sew cardigan with machine knitting.

This is part 2 of the tutorial, including cutting the fabric, knit the trims on LK150, and assemble them on a serger (overlocker) and a sewing machine.

The knit and sew method does not turn out as neat as I like, but it is a learning process. I find sewing machine works better than an overlocker. Next time I will try to knit the trim directly on a sewing machine. It should reduce the wavy joint.
