Thank you so much for this! This vid made me a little emotional because I was introduced to knitting by my mother in law, and she passed before showing me tips like these. I still love knitting amd learning but have never before seen a tutorial from someone who holds the yarn and moves the fingers the same way I do. In a way, you are making me feel like this is what she would teach next! And I appreciate not having to learn and adapt to my own yarn hold. Needless to say, i am definitelty an immediate subscriber!

Thanks so much for your very clear and easy method of doing knitting edges perfectly!!! I've been a knitter for many years but no matter what I've tried over the years, my knitting projects have had those unlikable edges. Your method is absolutely flawless!!! I'm glad I found your channel because I've just finished knitting a beautiful hat that matches the cardigan I've made for my baby granddaughter. I made it with regular needles, hence it has a seam in the back. Believe it or not, I sewed that seam 3 times. Once I even used a crochet needle, but I undid that too! Now I'm sure the seam will lie nice and flat and won't be irritable for the baby 🤗

Hi Jacqueline, I made a mistake in a comment I made about the edges of the green example. I’m Autistic and didn’t understand properly. I have now deleted my comment in case it seemed critical. Your instructions are very clear and I have used it on my latest knit. Thank you.

Hi! Thank you for sharing this. Can you use it for picking up stitches as well? 😊

@jacqknits

Ай бұрын

Yes you can! It makes a great edge for picking up stitches. Just pick up the stitch through both legs of that side stitch.

Excellent explanation. Can this be used with stockinette stitch.

@jacqknits

2 ай бұрын

Yes, you can use this edging for any stitch. However, remember that stockinette stitch will tend to curl a bit if knitted flat. This edging will not prevent that curling with the stockinette stitch. You would want to put a different type of border stitches (like garter stitch) on the edges of your stockinette to prevent that. I have a video on other suggestions to deal with curling stockinette stitch that you can view here. Hope that helps. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qZ6gp7x-l8iyp7Q.html

Hi, this is a really great tip, thank you 😊 does you know how you cast off with this?

@jacqknits

You can use any cast off with these edges.

Hi! I just found your channel, and it is great! So, even I'm knitting socks or mittens, I would do the first and last stitches as you did and not count them in the pattern stitch count ?

@jacqknits

Жыл бұрын

Are you knitting these socks and mittens in the round? If so then you don’t need this method. If you are knitting them flat you also probably don’t need this method because you would be seaming the sides together when finished. This edging is helpful mainly for flat pieces that remain flat and the edge is visible.

Yes. There are various ways to do a clean edge and your method produces the same results. The one I show is the one I learned first so is ingrained in my head so shared this one, but either one will work.

I'm still newbie about knitting. Does it the neat edge also use it for stockinete stitch?

@jacqknits

3 ай бұрын

Yes, you can do these edges with any stitch that you are knitting flat. Knitting stockinette stitch flat however tends to produce curled edges. This simple edging will not prevent curling of the edges to your stockinette stitch though. I do have a video that talks about some suggestions on how to prevent that curling for stockinette. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qZ6gp7x-l8iyp7Q.html Hope this helps. Thanks for reaching out.

Can you do this with a knitted cast on? This causes the tail to be on wrong side I believe.

@jacqknits

Yes. You just need to determine at the start which side is the right side and which is the wrong side and be consistent with that going forward and do your edge stitches accordingly.

Could you do a video with edges for ribbing

@jacqknits

9 ай бұрын

You can actually do this technique with any stitch including a ribbing. Just begin your ribbing stitch after your first stitch of every row and end it before the last stitch of every row. Then follow the instructions on what to do with the first and last stitch of the rows. The green swatch in the video shows this technique with the ribbing.

Hi! I have a question, which may sound silly. I'm following a pattern in my knitting that already has a slip stitch (selvage stitch) at each end of the needle. Do I still have to cast on 2 extra stitches to my work...?

@jacqknits

5 ай бұрын

Great question. No. You can use those two salvage stitches noted in the pattern and no need to add two more. You can do whatever salvage stitch they suggest for each end or use this method shown here and disregard what they say to do for the first and last stitch. Hope that helps.

@jacqknits

You can do this technique for any stitch and any project where you are knitting flat and are looking for a cleaner edge. Instead of slipping first stitch try this method of knitting first stitch on right side and purling first stitch on wrong side and then slipping the last stitch (knit wise with yarn in back for right side and purlwise with yarn in front on wrong side). I find this works better than slipping the first stitch.
