I made a mess of this until I realized that to prep your purl stitches, you go in with the needle from the back of your work. Now it looks great! Easy to memorize too. Thanks for the video.
I’ve actually been procrastinating finishing the bottow of my sweater bc this bind off was daunting. Thanks so much for explaining this way. I had started with the 2 needles tech. But it was loose and wasn’t making sense. Your explications made it work ! Between the 2-3 tips you talk about , one of those clicked with me . Thanks so much 🥰👌🏻
Please consider re-recording this video with just the steps that are needed. I usually have no problem following your videos and I am very thankful for all that you have taught me, but I find this video to be so stressful to try to follow. I suspect it’s because of the constant stop and start that occurs during this recording.
Really helpful. I'm making my first of your patterns - the Weekender Light. So proud that I just did my first kitchener bind off on the front neck. Did you know this stitch was invented in WW1 as a way to bind off the toes of socks so as not to leave a ridge and so help prevent the soldiers getting foot rot in the trenches in France. I learned that on a TV programme last week. Love trivia!
Julie, did you have right or wrong side facing you when you did it? I'm doing same pattern and wondering which side should be facing me. I'm assuming the wrong side but I want to make double sure first!
@@janloughran1503 Hi. It is a while ago now and I don't actually remember so I checked the pattern and it says with RS facing so i assume that's how I did it. It looks like RS facing in the video picture above too. Hope you manage to do it successfully.
I'm knitting your Weekender, and am at the neckline. However, my first stitch is a purl not a knit. I'm having trouble getting started. I think I should prep with a knit but then am not sure what I do for the second stitch (which is a knit). Do I skip it, or prep it with a purl and then return to the first stitch.
Great way to do kitchener, though I would've liked to see it done across the entire row. To see what to do with the last stitch & to see the difference between ending on a row with an even number of stitches or on a row with an odd number of stitches. Still, it's such a great alternative & such a big help. Thank you Andrea! :-)
So Kitchener makes sense when it's alternating knit and purl stitches, but what do you do when they are not even? I'm finishing a cowl that only has 2 purl stitches and then 8 knit stitches. Could I use this method to bind off as the stitches present themselves or do they have to alternate looking like a knit followed by looking like a purl?
Hello Andrea. I love your designs, but this methode isn’t easier for me than the normal kitchener stitch. This is my opinion 🤔. Thanks for the inspiration 😀
Ah that's made something click in my head, the prepping bit particularly. Just binding off 180stitches of a tubular in really sticky wool and getting in a pickle.
When you have one whole set of stitches either on another needle or on a provisional cast-on yarn and then you have another whole set of stitches on the needle (I.e. joining 2 ends of a rectangle into a circle/cowl), how would this work? It looks like your stitches that would be on 2 needles are on your needle every other stitch, but that would NOT be the case when the 2 sets of stitches are not present very other stitch. This looks more like another type of regular bind off rather than kitcheners.
Hello - this method is for when you are binding off all stitches that are already located on one needle- such a finishing a Tubular Bind Off or Double Knit Bind Off. If you are grafting two pieces together (such as an infinity cowl) I would leave them on their separate needles :)
I am currently making the Weekender Light and I'm glad you made a tutorial for this as I need it for the neckline now.
This just changed my life. I was mystified using 2 needles and this is so much simpler!

You explain this so well, Andrea. That’s the first time I’ve actually understood Kitchener Stitch!!! Thank you xxx
Thank you Andrea,
This is very helpful and I appreciate the clear introductions.

Best video. So easy to understand and quick to do

I agree- I became extremely confused and the dark yarn did not help :/
Thank you, Andrea. A much better way to the Kitchner than with two needles. Clever.
You are so gratis! Thank you for the tutorials! I knitted so many of your designs Andrea!
I watched many different videos for the " kitchener" stitch ..This one was great..So thank You.
This is a game changer! Thank you and thank you Bristol Ivy!

Thankyou so much is this the way I should bind off the neck for the weekender sweater the two needles were confusing me. Thanks
Sooo helpful - thank you!❤️
Enjoy the show each week! Review blocking method for sweaters and shawls, pleased.
Great explanation! Thank you 😊

On the last stitch you just pull your yarn through and break the yarn. Then weave in ends to secure.
@@dreareneeknits Thank you :-)

This is awesome!
Im still confused.
Can I use this with Mackworth?
yes - it would be ideal for the tubular bind off!
