Knitting in a hem or casing looks even better than a whip-stitched hem.

A picot hem is a nice detail at the edge of a cast on.

Method: Cast on an even number of stitches.

Work in stockinette for 5 rows or rounds.

Picot round: (Yarn over, knit 2 together) repeat between () to end. You may use (Yo, purl 2 together) instead.

Work in stockinette for 5 rows or rounds.

Using a double point needle several sizes smaller than your working needle, thread a few loops from the cast on onto the dpn. Fold the cast on edge right sides out to the current row. Knit together each stitch from the working needle and the dpn needle until all stitches from the dpn are worked. Thread a few more stitches onto the dpn and continue in this manner until all stitches are worked.

This makes a beautiful, tidy join!
