This means that the sweater was machine made. Someone basically knit a huge piece of fabric, and then cut it into pieces and seamed it together before the knitting could unravel. These seams are surged and cannot be unraveled.

Can you unravel knitting and start again?
Time to unravel the piece and you can use the yarn again to work up a new project. Make sure the yarn is washable by hand and not dry clean only as you will need to wash it to not only to clean it, but to get the crinkles out.
Can I unpick knitting from the bottom?
If the project is worked from the bottom up, that means you will need to turn it upside down. This is the fun part. Take your scissors and snip the yarn in the marked row one stitch away from the right side of the work. Carefully undo the yarn from the first stitches at the right side of the work.
Do you have to wash yarn after frogging?
Soak the skeins.
(You can add a little bit of soap if you feel it is needed; if you do, be sure to give the yarn a couple of good cool-water rinses after it has soaked.) Soak for at least twenty minutes, long enough for the water to permeate all the fibers. Do not agitate or rub or mangle the skeins!
What does frogging mean in knitting?
“Frogging” is a knit/crochet term for ripping out your knitting and starting over to correct a mistake. Why is it called “frogging” you ask? Because you “rip it, rip it” which reminded someone of “ribit, ribit” – the sound a frog makes. Yep, that’s the history behind the term (and we don’t know who coined the term).
How do you rewind yarn after frogging?
Start unravelling your item and wind the yarn into the ball. Then, the yarn will need to be wound around something to form a loop. Of course, you can skip making the ball and wind right away the frogged yarn into a skein. The easiest way to do this is to use a yarn swift but a straight chair back will also work.
What does it mean to Frog yarn?
to rip out your work
What is Frogging? In fiber arts like knitting and crochet, frogging means to rip out your work. Imagine yourself saying “rip it, rip it, rip it” while you are pulling out several rows or rounds of a project. It sounds similar to the noise a frog makes, right?
What is a group of knitters called?

What does Tink back mean in knitting?
Tink is knit spelled backwards, and it refers to undoing one stitch at a time. This is a safe way to undo your knitting because if you do it correctly, you won’t drop a stitch. But when you have more than 320 stitches on the needle, as I do, and you have to go back about four rows, as I did, this could take forever.
What is it called when people live in your house without you knowing?
Squatting is when someone is occupying an empty or abandoned property which they don’t own or rent, and without the owner’s permission. This is often without the owner’s knowledge and without any legal right to do so.
Should you knit a row after casting on?
When you cast on stitches with the cable cast on method, the stitches are on the left needle at the completion of the cast on. The right side of the cast on is facing you, and you don’t have to turn the needle around to start the first row. Therefore, knit the first row to avoid the bumps.
How do you fix a dropped stitch without frogging?

- When you get to the right stitch, take it off the needle.
- To knit, the loop is in front of the horizontal yarn, and you pull the yarn through from back to front:
