Thank you for the easy demonstration and getting right to the point of the matter! So many wave their hands and painted nails around forever before getting to the directions. I will definitely be checking out more of your videos!😁
I really love your RUclips channel, even though I’m a confident knitter (been knitting for several years), you teach me new tricks. And love your educational descriptions, so easy to follow and understand. Thanks…❣️ //Titti, one of your followers from Sweden
I was so excited to see this video! Thank you! I was looking for a video of this type a year ago or so. I will be bookmarking it for the future. Thank you again for sharing your expertise with us.
I'm using this technique on a hat knit in the round on DPNs. I transferred my stitches to a "magic loop" configuration before starting the hem so I wouldn't be dealing with all the needles. I marked the line of purl bumps with small stitch markers, removing them as I go along.
Loved this video. I’m half way through a baby blanket with picot edges on either end. I used the provisional cast on edge at the beginning. I will definitely try your method on the other end. Thanks!
I love this method for a folded hem! My problem with doing it on a top down top was that I kept getting off and using the wrong smiles. That didn't make me smile. Could you please suggest an easy way to mark which row to use? I can't come up with a good idea. When I was doing this iwith hundreds of stitches in thin variegated yarn getting off was too easy and undoing it to redo it wasn't much fun. I was extremely pleased with the result but not the undo and redo part.
Using a thread and a tapestry needle, find that first marked smile and thread a basting line across that row. Then turn down the hem and follow the basting thread.
The method with provisional cast on is excellent. I tried the other method and could not identify the stitches in 1st row so I skipped some and the last row ran out of st. before the 1st row. with the provisional cast on its very clear which st. to work on both needles so both rows end together. Thanks
What a lovely finishing technique! I was looking for an alternative to ribbing on toe up socks and will do this. Thank you for another clearly demonstrated and explained video. I always check your video channel first.
I have watched the video 10 times and I am now convinced that while that method of hem seaming is fantastic if you can do it, it is extraordinarily difficult to do because you’ve got the rest of the sock attached on the other side - it is extraordinarily difficult to see The smiley faces. So, I am wondering what the second recommended seeming method would be. Would it be advisable to do the stretchy castoff instead and do a regular slip stitch to attach the hem?
Love the video but one question remains for me. If I’m making socks and a required to have 64 stitches, am I casting on magic loop 64 stitches or 32 stitches.
Yes, this will work. This is called picot hem. There is another style of edge called a picot bind off. It produces the little bumps along the edge too, but is worked differently.
Oh, boy! I’m really stuck here. Everything makes perfect sense EXCEPT I’m doing a sock cuff and it’s backwards and upside down from what you are doing here! My stitches are coming off the needle on the right and going left. The row I’m fastening it to is to the bottom, not the top! Help!!!
Just made my first picot hem (on socks) with your excellent video as my guide. Perfect on the first try! Thanks a million for sharing this technique.
Excellent video, one of the best I’ve seen. Thank you

You are so welcome, SH! ❤️
This is the third time watching. Each time I make something with a picot any where.. back I come.
Excellent, thank you.
I absolutely love your method of attaching the hem. It is brilliant!
Thank you, Diane, I appreciate your kind words!

The "smiles" made me smile😄
Lol, thanks so much!
Great tutorial- many thanks
You are very welcome! Happy knitting.
Absolutely brilliant and your method of joining is the exact technique I wanted to finish the hems of my sleeves! Thank you!
Yay, happy to hear this, Kate! ❤️ Thanks so much for watching!
Very helpful. I never knew you could do a picot hem both down and up.
Happy to help!
I like the 2nd one with the provisional better because you don't have to hem. Thanks for the videl!
You are so welcome, Mary! Thanks for watching! 😊
This is just in time for the baby sweater coat I’m making. Thanks a million!
Just what I needed, Suzanne! Thank you!
Saving this one! Will definitely use for my toe up top of socks. Love your Kitchener-type finish for the extra stretch!.Thanks so much! 🥰
You are so welcome, Pam! 😊
I am definitely going to use your seaming to the WS method next time. Thank you Suzanne
You're welcome, Isa!
I love this stitch!

You are very kind, Kathleen, thank you so much! ❤️
This was the video I was really looking for. I think it will be very helpful.^^👍
Perfect timing! I'm just about ready to do a folded hem on a top I'm knitting. This method looks better than the others I was considering. Thanks!
Thats awesome Signa, glad to help!
Perfect timing for me, too! Just starting on my hat. I love your explanations! They are so clear and easy to follow! ❤️
Wonderful, Frances! Thanks so much for the great feedback! ❤️

This was really great, Suzanne! Thx!
You are very welcome, Dollyce!
Loved this video. I’m half way through a baby blanket with picot edges on either end. I used the provisional cast on edge at the beginning. I will definitely try your method on the other end. Thanks!
Thats wonderful, Pattie! Thanks for watching!
This is a great informative and clear video, thank you. I would love to see the same in the round for beginning of gloves or end socks knitted toe/up.
Thanks, super video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You're so welcome, Hanne! 😊
Thanks so much!

So wonderful to hear, Leah, thanks for letting me know! ❤️
I'd like to try this technique for toe up socks
You've shown this to be a very stretchy edge, but I was just wondering if you could do the same thing with ribbing.
Making a hem with ribbing might be a bit bulky. Try it on a swatch and see what you think.

Try turning the sock inside out. Then you can see everything very easily.

64
I have a pair of stranded mittens with a picot edge and wondered if this would work?
Yes, this will work. This is called picot hem. There is another style of edge called a picot bind off. It produces the little bumps along the edge too, but is worked differently.
How do you prevent the whole picot rim from flipping up on a sweater? This is rhetorical issue that I am having.
Oh, boy! I’m really stuck here. Everything makes perfect sense EXCEPT I’m doing a sock cuff and it’s backwards and upside down from what you are doing here!
My stitches are coming off the needle on the right and going left. The row I’m fastening it to is to the bottom, not the top!
Help!!!
Have you tried turning your work? So that the body is on the other side of your needles? I think the orientation is easy to fix.
Hi I love you & Rox I ve learned so many things from your videos than you
Thank you so much, Sunbina! ❤️

Hi Kaiti, thanks for watching my video!
Eu não entendi a segunda maneira de fazer o picô! A primeira eu entendi!
If you go to my Blog, I have written the directions for both ways.
