Piping on Button Bands

    To knit the piping along the button bands as seen here, you need to hang your first sweater front onto the needles with the wrong side facing you.  I place the "vee" of the sweater at -0- and work out in each direction from that.  I stretch the knitting very slightly. 

With the carriage on bottom ribbing side, use contrast yarn and knit 5 rows.  Break yarn.  Hang the first row of piping stitches on these same needles. 

Change to main yarn and continue knitting your button bands as desired.  Repeat for second sweater front.
