Used this method and successfully inserted a zipper in a knitted cardigan for the first time in 20 years, so thank you for clear instructions and video!

So great to find a video that explains zipper installation using hand sewing instead of machine. Finally ready to just do it, with confidence to boot! Thanks so much!

This is incredibly detailed and helpful. I've never put a zipper in my knitwear, only buttons, but I'm about to put one in a hooded carrying bag for my newborn grandson. You've give me the confidence to do it. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.

I saw a a trick to make the zipper go on evenly while I was searching zippers on knits - baste the front together first, then pin.

Very helpful video, thanks! I just would have liked to have seen how you finished off the top of the zipper. At the point you signed off, it appeared to be pretty clunky with the folded over edge of the zipper.

Thank you. This was a great explanation. I was wondering what you did to the edge of the sweater to give the substance needed to apply the zipper. I’m having my first adventures in steeking and am stuck on the edge after cutting. Thanks so much for your help.

I don't have pinking scissors so I put a bit of "Hard as Nails" on the end (with grosgrain ribbon, too) on the end to keep it from unraveling.

When I cut excess zipper tape at the top (I also have extra stops and remove teeth from the tape) I use a lighter on the cut edge. On the zippers I use, it will melt the fibers and prevent fraying. :)

Two words- zipper tape. It prevents having to pin, and will wash away. Sew as normal- then it will wash away.

Hi, thank you for all the information about inserting a zipper. I have one question about the edge the zipper is applied to. Is that an Icord edge or are the stitches picked up, a row of garter stitch knit and then bound off? Could you tell me the name of the sweater pattern? Thank you.
