• Long-tail cast-on
• skp and sk2p
• k2tog and ssk
• Three Needle Bind-Off
• Blocking your Farro

Long-Tail Cast-On

I like using the thumb method of this cast-on. I have a video tutorial below!

skp and sk2p

When working the a-line body shaping, as well as the v-neck shaping, you’ll be working k2tog and ssk techniques. See my videos below:

Three Needle Bind-Off

This techique is used to attach Front and Back shoulders together:

Blocking your Farro

I created a photo tutorial of how I wet blocked my Farro vest – check it out here! If you prefer to see a video, you can check out my blocking video here. I use a different pattern, but the techniques are the same regardless of the pattern.
