Placing Holding Stitches on Ribbon

If you want to try on a garment, place the stitches on a piece of satin ribbon and tie the ends together. So if you are trying on a top down sweater, put the body stitches on the ribbon leaving plenty of length, tie the ends of the ribbon together and try on the sweater. To make it extra easy, put those stitches back on a needle a few sizes smaller remembering to knit onto the right sized needle when you start knitting again.
