Tutorial: Knitting ribbing inside out by changing direction - Field Sweater by Camilla Vad
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- I have knit the 1x1 rib for the Field Sweater by Camilla Vad and decided i like the reverse side of the 1x1 rib better than the side showing as I knit.
I used a tubular cast on so both sides of the cast on look identical. I slightly prefer the reverse side of the ribbing as the knit stitches look just a little neater.
I decided to knit off the ribbing needle onto the body needle from the reverse direction and make the side that "was the wrong side" become the "right side". To prevent a hole, when i changed direction, i did a German Short row (created a double stitch) as soon as I started the first round, and then resolved the double stitch at the start of the second round.
If you used a long tail cast on, you may not want to do this as you will see all the "purl bumps" as the long tail cast on does not look the same from both sides. If you know right from the beginning you want to do this and you want to use the long tail cast on, you would knit the first row flat and then join in the round.
To be clear - This is NOT part of the pattern for the Field Sweater. This is not in any way a requirement for the sweater. This is just something I noticed and I CHOSE to do. There was only a slight difference and I may not have even bothered to do it in this case, but I had a request for a video to explain this process and thought this was a good opportunity.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I just could not wrap my head around this when I thought of it and your explanation made it all click. I am definitely using this in my knitting.
Thanks so much. Glad the video helped to explain it. :)
Oh that’s perfect Tash. Picked up this tutorial from the link that you posted for me Thank you. 🙋🏼🏴
You’re welcome 😊
Very nice explanation of how to switch the ribbing. I know you have spoken about it but a visual learner like myself it is wonderful to see it actually completed. I chose to do a twisted 1x2 rib for my field sweater rib and am loving the look. ❤
Awesome. Glad you are enjoying the process. :)
Thank you for this tutorial. I have just started a fresh pair of socks and used this method, I love the way it looks, and it worked out perfect never having done a German short row.
Thanks Amy. I am so glad it was helpful!

Thanks Tash😃

Hi Tash ,thanks for this tutorial looks much neater back to front. I’ve just finished the April cardigan and I’ve got to pickup 340 stitches. Would you block it first it’s very curled and I’ll have to knit wrong side too. I would appreciate you advice. (It’s wool and mohair) I thank you cheers Merilyn from NZ
That might be easier to do if you could at least steam block the edge to reduce the curling before you pick up stitches. :)
