- This knitting lesson walks you through the process of creating the exact curve you want in your knitting. For the first example I'll take you through creating a slope on one side of your knitting, step-by-step, and then I'll show you how to create a semi-circle shape.
This should come in handy for altering - or writing your own - knitting patterns, and it's a good exercise to gain more understanding of knitting and how to use increases and decreases.

Really helpful… many thanks 🙏
You are welcome!
I’m so glad I found your video! I want to make a curve on my rectangular corners and just couldn’t understand how until I found your video. Of course, it certainly made sense after I saw it.
Aw I'm glad it helped :D
Thank you so much for sharing this! I can now continue further in my design journey
There is a lot of information here, thank you.
Thank you for watching :D
Thank you for sharing this. How would you scale the same curve for bigger or smaller size in given gauge?
If the gauge is higher i.e. more stitches per inch, then you will need to more rows of stitches per 'step' of the curve to get the same curve - so you decrease less often. And vice versa.
I don't know if they make knitting graph paper that has smaller or larger squares or if you can only get standard. You may need to make a grid of your own according to the gauge of your yarn, which should be fairly straightforward since that gives you the # of stitches and rows per inch. Hope that helps a bit!
Thank you very much for doing this video tutorial! I would like to know how you would create a curve for fisherman's rib with short rows,thank you!
Glad you like it! Unfortunately I've not done short rows in fisherman's rib myself so can't really help, but if I do I'm sure I'll do a video :) I hope you find what you need elsewhere on RUclips, sorry I can't help
@@RokoleeDIY Thank you for your reply!
I keep seeing knitted top patterns and they all have a straight hem at the bottom. I find it so unflattering on me and much prefer a curved hem. Thank you for this
Glad you liked the video :D
Hi, this was a very helpful video, but I'm a little unsure of how you decided to create the stairsteps, is there a certain way you did that based on how steep you wanted your curve to be or did you just sort of wing it? thank you!!!
Hi! Once I'd drawn the curve I wanted, I drew stair steps as close to that line as possible, following the outline of the squares on the knitting graph paper. Not an exact science, just use stair steps to approximately follow the shape you want to knit :)
How would this work in a shirt design where sizing ie involved?
Hi! I'm not quite sure what you mean, but when it comes to curves you just need to work out how steep you want the curves to be, and then work back from there to calculate how you must space out where you put the increases or decreases. Diagrams are a must for designing - start there to visualise everything first :)
I don't currently have access to any knitting paper. Can you tell me what is the size of an individual big square on the paper? I'll try to draw it for myself.
Hi, sorry for the late reply...you can find knitting graph paper online here:

To print or to copy yourself :)
@@RokoleeDIY Great, thanks so much!
I did draw something by myself (of course printing from your link will work much better) and have been able to use your instructions for a dicky with semi-circular ending and also to form the neckline of it. Thank you so much!
