In this DROPS video we show how to sew mattress stitches.
This is a common way of seaming together side-to-side pieces - like side seams on sweaters. In the video we use a contrasting color yarn so it's easy to see what we are doing. If the tail from casting on is long enough use it to seam. Mattress stitching is done in the space between the edge stitch and the stitch next to it.
Lay the pieces side by side with the right side facing you.
Pull the edge stitch slightly away from the stitch next to it so that you can see the bar between the edge st and the next st. Insert your yarn needle under the bar. Pull the yarn through the bar and then insert the needle under the bar on the other piece. Work back and forth, inserting the needle under the bar on one piece then the other piece. As you go along you can pull the yarn in the direction of the seam and the pieces will be joined with an invisible seam.
You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns where you can use this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

21.05.2013 - 18:54Bonjour, Pour assembler comme vous le montrez, faut-il que les mailles lisières soient tricotées ou non ? Merci !

Bonjour Mirelha, dans la vidéo, les m lis ont été tricotées au point mousse, si elles sont tricotées en jersey, la même technique peut s'appliquer. Bon tricot!

It would be nice to see how the back side of the joint looks. (from Canada)
16.01.2013 - 19:06Jag har idag köpt en stickbeskrivning där man anger att jumpern skall sys samman med madrasstygn. Jättebra att jag hittade anvisningen på er sida. Tusen tack.
23.11.2012 - 00:53Om ni döper videor mer korrekt kan de nog hjälpa mer också, "madrass stygn" brukar kallas maskstygn på svenska. Kan ni ändra detta?
14.11.2012 - 21:22Jeg kan ikke finde videoer, der viser madrassting i retstrik, og jeg synes ikke lige, jeg kan overføre princippet fra denne video til mit eget strikketøj i retstrik. Kan I hjælpe?
05.08.2012 - 21:52I just viewed your tutorial on Mattress stitch in joining seams and it was fantastic!:-) I read how to do this is magazines but they never show it as clear as your video. Now I can't wait to try. Will tell my friends about your tutorials. Thank you so much. I'm new to knitting and thought it too difficult as I never seem to get the seams right. Keep on doing a great job and thanks again. Claudina
