Knitters are historically afraid
of zippers, but they are very easy to sew in, and for this particular sweater,
the zipper makes dressing easy as pie.
Zippers should always be sewn in
by hand. The zipper should be the exact same length as the opening, to avoid
stretching or puckering.Place the zipper in a stitch or tow so the zipper teeth
will not be exposed. Pin the zipper with the right side showing, then baste it
in with a simple running stitch. (Using a contrasting color thread will help.)
Remove the pins and turn to the back side. Sew zipper edge with a backstitch. Repeat
with the other side of the zipper, and you’re done. Be brave, and try it!
