    I like this idea. I have always done finger-crocheted ones for my stockings, but this looks a little faster and just as pretty. We use this twisted cord technique to make friendship bracelets. Instead of trying one end to a basket, have a friend hold one end. Then, cut the finished cord in half to make two bracelets.

We had a dear dear neighbor and friend that commissioned someone to knit personalized stockings for my large (and young) family. This year we had our sixth child and our friend gave me a nameless stocking in July for our new baby. The woman who knitted our stockings had passed away before we could add a name, and then in Sept our sweet friend passed away. I feel so grateful for the day in July I randomly asked him how we would get a stocking for our new baby and the memory of him hobbling to his hutch to pull out a long since made stocking he had planned for us. But now I need to put a name on it and your video is the perfect help. Thank you!

Apparently, my search for my easiest way to knit, is quickly becoming a Frankenstyle, has stirred something in the RUclips algorithm or associated topics to bring about a video from one of my subscriptions but alack and alas, she is an English-style tutorialist!

    • @CheriKnits
      @CheriKnits Год назад

      Yes! You would cast on half the stitches you need, join in the round, and knit the same amount of waste yarn, switching to your working yarn and working the same amount of rounds I suggested. Then, you would have to scoop up those stitches on the back, while you're working on the knit side. I realize that this sounds very confusing! I'll figure it all out, and do a video on it soon! Let me know if you give it a try, and how it works.
