Hi Merion, Thank you for sharing how to do your knitting Rib Stitch Yes I did find it very helpful I always love to watch you doing your knitting because you always explain so very clearly THANK YOU all the best Lin 💖👍
Thank you it helped so much...I'm an absolute beginner. I had the plain and purl mixed up so it was helpful to hear which one to look out for much better than having to stop and count...I will give it a go
I crochet and recently trying to knit I have been trying to figure out this rib stich for the past 2 hrs and couldn't figure out what I did wrong.. and ur explanation about the bomb and the V just save my sanity !!! So happy I figured it out.
Helpful video. It makes it easy to see where you are when you explain the V's and bars and can tell what the stitches are. Thanks for the clear video and light-colored yarn too.
Hi Ellis! I always think it helps so much to be able to read your knitting so that you learn what the next stitch needs to be! We will keep using light coloured yarn if it helps!! Sending love and knitting wishes, from Merion and the LoveCrafts team x
Yes it is helpful. I think learning knit & reading knit, is easier with the chunky yarn. I have a hard time seeing my stitches with smaller gauge needles and thinner yarn. (I’m very new/learning knitting). I have difficulty with the purl especially if I’ve been knitting for a bit, probably good exercise to do the 2x2’s. Muscle memory! Thank you.
Oh absolutely! It is very important to be able to see the stitches - especially when you start out.Chunky yarn is therefore perfect! With time and practise it will all come more natural to you and exploring different yarn weights will be a lot of fun! yay Happy knitting! Sarah at LoveCrafts
Hi Terry! thank you so much for such a kind comment - I am so thrilled that you have found this useful! Welcome to the knitting world!!! Kindest wishes, Merion and the LoveCrafts team x

So helpful and I love the beautiful video too. I tried to do this by myself and it's all twisted around and I came off with more stitches than I initially had :D Thank you for making the video! Now I know what I did wrong!
I'm trying the make myself a hat from another tutorial. But I've never actually learned how to purl stitch before. 😅 But you made it super easy to learn. Thank you so so much! This is gonna be another tool in my belt of knitting skills!
Wow Ryan, that's GREAT!! well done!! Once you can knit and purl you can knit anything!!!! Kindest knitting wishes from Merion and the LoveCrafts team x
@@lovecraftscom Yeah!! I've been working on the hat little by little every day, and purl stitching has gotten way easier with practice. I'm about halfway done that hat now. And I owe a huge thanks to you. So thank you! 💕
Hi Alexis, you can use any cast on you like! So row one is shown in the video (I have already cast the stitches on). You can knit as many rows as you need. Hope that helps! Kindest, Merion
Hey Kaley, that is a really good question! So if you follow our video you would start Row 2 with a knit stitch again- you're absolutely right here! If you are however having a different amount of stitches on your needles and you end with two knit stitches you would then need to start with two purl stitches on the other side. What helped me, when I started out, was to familiarise myself with the look of the knit and purl stitch so you always know which one comes next by just looking at the work you have already done! :) Happy making!

Very helpful, I'm knitting a lampshade cover. Forgotten how to knit 2x2 rib for a period. Now after watching your video, I can start to knit 2x2 rib patt. I need to work every st in 2x2 rib patt from Rows 2-5 on my project. So I just followed the instructions 2K & 2P from your video. Am I right? Please advise
Hi Honeybee, sounds like your yarn is getting tight because you're pulling it, and this could be because a) you are feeling a bit tense, or b) because your personal tension is quite tight. If you know that you're a tight knitter (and lots of people are!) the best way to cope with that is go up a needle size - and that will keep your stitches the right size for a project. Happy knitting with love from Merion and the LoveCrafts team xx
You are absolutely brilliant in teaching the techniques of knitting for beginners.....you explain it a such an easy way that it would not be hard at all for anyone to follow you and do it right for the first time. Keep up the great work and you definitely have a fan. 😀👍👏
This is really the clearest tutorial possible for beginner, all the 20+ videos I watched were useless lol Amazing work! Thank you so muchhhhhh

HI Cindy! We're so pleased it helped!! Kindest, Merion xx
Yes thank you so much
Thanks Jen! I hope it helped! Kindest knitting wishes, Merion & the LoveCrafts team x
Very helpful thankyou.x.
Thanks for sharing your excellent skills. For all the rows do you start with K2 P2 say for 12 rows of K2 P2
✨🥰
Lovely, thank you ☺️
Hi what kind of cast on do you use? What happens with row 1? Thank you :)
And how many rows?
Hi Alexis, you can use any cast on you like! So row one is shown in the video (I have already cast the stitches on). You can knit as many rows as you need. Hope that helps! Kindest, Merion
When you start row 2, I assume you start in knit stitch again? (Sorry if it’s obvious to others. I’m a beginner still.)
Hey Kaley, that is a really good question! So if you follow our video you would start Row 2 with a knit stitch again- you're absolutely right here!
