Distitch - 1.1 Slip knit DS selvedge closed (short)

If you like Distitch Selvedge, please use it in your projects. However please always give full credit, and use the correct title: DISTITCH SELVEDGE BY ASSIA BRILL.
If you are a designer and are planning to use Distitch Selvedge in your work, I’m flattered! But PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE publishing your design. Thank you!

Distitch gives a beautiful, even and firm selvedge – use it as a decorative edge that doesn’t loosen with wear.
When working in Garter stitch, Brioche, or other vertically compressed stitch patterns, it’s better to use slip DS selvedge, in which the selvedge stitch is worked every second row. This is achieved by slipping the first stitch of every row, and working the last stitch as a Distitch. Remember, because each slipped Distitch is stretched over 4 rows, it gathers the vertical edge, so it needs to be worked looser than the body stitches.

To understand how easy it is done, watch this short video. Full instructions are in the next longer video.
