This project from our 2018 Advent Box is full of lovely techniques for you to explore! We'll show you how to create an i-cord edge, picking up stitches along the i-cord edge, switching from flat knitting to working in the round, increasing for the thumb and removing the thumb as well as finishing techniques.
