Before You Begin
To create a chain-garter selvedge, the first stitch of every row is slipped (knitwise on the RS, purlwise on the WS). The second and second to last stitch of every row are worked either in garter or reverse garter stitch. The last stitch of every row is worked in stockinette stitch.
- garter stitch - knit on both the RS and WS
- reverse garter stitch - purl on both RS and WS
- stockinette stitch - knit on RS, purl on WS
