Knit Frog Hack

The fabulous frog pattern by @clairegarland8398 has a few things I don’t love to do: weaving in lots of ends in a small area & i-cords! So after some tweaking, I’ve figured out a way to reduce the ends I need to sew in AND avoided i-cording! First I knit the arm/leg flat. So if it says K1, k2tog, and I’m on a purl side, I’ll do it in purl instead. Second, I used one long thread at the end of the first toe to sew closed the toes AND the leg seam. This entire process takes me about 10 min per leg, and I only have to weave in two ends. What do you think? Will you try this out? Will it cut down on your frustration with weaving in too many ends? #knitting #knittingpatterns #knittedtoys
