- In this episode, we will take a closer look at knitting edges. Often our SKEINO customers would ask me how this is done best. In this short knitting tutorial, I will show you how it should not be done and how you can improve your edges when knitting.
After knitting for approximately 56 years I never knew about this quick, simple technique to give me nice neat side edges. Thank you so very much.
He actually starts demonstrating this @ 3:58.... you're welcome 💐
Wonderful tutorial! I'm an experienced crochet'er who's learning to knit using the Continental style. This lesson has helped me to improve my edging technique.
Thanks for sharing!
I know this is an old video, but i have to say thank you. I am new to knitting as of this week. I am ready to tackle my scarf. I am going to use the Garter stitch since that is what I am comfortable with and I knee their had to be a trick to clean edges. I like the Garter stich because both sides are the same and I would like that look on a scarf. This is awesome. Ready to buy my scarf yarn and get to it. I bought some cheaper yarn for practicing this week. I am picking up knitting much easier than I did crochet for some reason.
Thank you for this VERY helpful video! I was always unhappy with my edges, and now I can make them nicely like you do! ! !
Thank you! This is such a simple technique to tidy up garter stitch edges. I’ve been knitting for over fifty years and am still learning.
I love your videos and sorry that I found you so late. Such wonderful demonstrations and so easy to follow. Thank you
I'm brand new to knitting, using RUclips to learn. I love your videos and they have made it so easy!!
I'm so glad!
The way you knit that last stitch is actually how I knit purl stitch in general, so the neat ends just come naturally. You can try it out, it looks the same as a purl stitch would look like.
I agree with Jacqueline. You are the Knitters Angel.
My edges are so untidy and big loops on each side. Thanks for sharing this big secret. As you mentioned at the beginning I never knitted the first stitch as I followed other knitters advise and the knitting looked clumsy and out of shape. Thanks to you I will have lovely edges on my grandsons sweaters.
Thanks for sharing and caring.
👍👍👍💕
TY for showing us this. The tips you share make our knitting look so much better for us. I just love you!
Thank you Alicia. I am happy to share my experiences.
Thank you !! I use this edge all the time now. It is always beautiful and so easy!!
I started learning to knit months ago, and I tried many types of edges, because mine always come out very bad, and seriously all people say is slip last stitch and knit the first stitch, which was what I did and not what I get lol
Thanks for explaining the difference!
WOW! You are a knitting angel!! This is just what I needed. THANK YOU!!!!!
That's a nice straight edge all right. Thank you for another great tutorial.
Thank you very much for your videos. At the same time I learn knitting with your tips and I learn English. Your pronunciation is very clear. Greetings from Brazil.
Thank you, thank you from a novice knitter.
I wish you would come back and continue making video's. PLEASE.
Love your knitting tutorials. So easy to follow. Thank you. Also, really like all those colorful shirts.
Do you also use the same method if knitting stocking stitch, please. I am 66 and knitted about 60 of those years and I am still learning, adapting to the new methods for faster knitting. It is wonderful, thank you. Your suggested program of future videos sounds great. Videos are needed so this and crochet doesn't disappear.
Thanks for showing this. I am a beginner, again! I'd like to clean up my edges and see a number of ideas on RUclips. Nothing has worked, so far, so I'll give this a try.
Thank you I think this is just what I needed I've been trying to figure that out but had no one to teach me!
Thanks for showing this new way to make a perfect edge trued others but this one easy and quick to learn
Once again I learned a little trick! Thank you so much for these videos. I love them.
:-)
Thank you for sharing this technique now I won't have to worry about my edges looking messy again.
Thanks for the tutorial...now I can make neat side edge for my project..
Hi Bjorn, thank you so much for making this tutorial. I am still new to Knitting and getting nice edges is a headache for me. I am grateful you showed the whole process of what to do, including turning over your work because I had people trying to explain it in writing and it was not making any sense to me. So thank you so much I am so very grateful and you have some other great videos as well. ^_^
Lady GD شكرا جزيلا على هذا الموضوع المفيد
This is prefect! I wanted a neat edge to a garter garment that wouldn't take away the look of garter.
Thank you for showing how to make a neater edge. Better than having a sloppy edge.👍
Thank you for keeping it simple and teaching so much Love your channel
Thank you! Very nice edges. I will look at your other videos to. The edges become really nicer!
Oh my gosh, THANK YOU!!! This was just what I needed! ❤️
Lovely! Thank you for sharing!
This was so helpful! I am knitting a series of color block scarves involving intarsia and the garter stitch and I was wondering how to make neater edges. Thank you, Bjorn!!
Wow! I wish I knew this year's ago! Thank you so much!
very nice I'm going to practice this, thank you so much
Very good demo.
Wow, that was a great technique! Thank you!
Cool to see a man knitting :) Awesome videos!
Bjorn, what a delight to find your videos. Your pacing is perfection--although the camera is a bit low in parts of this video. I have a baby sweater I'm starting today with Sirdar Snuggly baby bamboo 80% and wool 20%. It will benefit from lovely edges. Thank you.
Thank you for this demonstration. I've been knitting for years, but I find I can always learn new ways of doing things, and I love how neat your edges look. Will working the row with this technique work create the same neat edge in stockinette stitch too?

Oh my goodness. How wonderfully simple is the solution to a good edge for garter stitch! Thanks so much for sharing. The question is…what to do with the end of a purl row?
Thank you ! That was very helpful.
Ahh! I have been making my mother in law a fisherman’s rib scarf and the bumps on the side have been driving me insane because it makes it look sooo sloppy!!
I am going to frog it and start again using this! Thank you thank you
What's frogging it?
@@karinberryman7970 It means unpicking (You 'rip it' out which sounds like 'ribbit' - therefore, frogging!) I *think* it's a crochet term.
Very helpful. Thank you !
Thank you! Great tip!
Thanks for sharing!!! Good luck!
I was searching "how to do perfect Edegs" and this showed up 😂
finally a great tutorial that works thank you so much
This is genius! Thank you!
I am intimidated by charts. If the chart comes with written instructions I always go to the written, but I have a few patterns without written instructions and I do not even attempt it. I would love to learn this. Thanks
I know I feel like knitting is some sort of exam that you have to memorize the patterns. Well for someone that doesn't knit enough.
Trying something new is always a good thing because you will find it is not as hard as you thought. If you memorize a short repeat that is fine but it is all about relaxing and enjoying and, most importantly, relieving stress. Stay with what makes YOU feel good.
Thanks alot
seriously i tinked sth because i wasn't satisfied with "slip the first stitch " in garder stitch and when i tried again, cause i thought i maybe had done sth wrong , i didn't get satisfied too but eventually after watching this video i discovered that i actually did nothing wrong it was just that the " slip the first stitch" wasn't suitable in garder stitch
Thanks thanks thanks
Thank you.it is too helpful 🙂
I would love to be shown how do knit neater rib bands. Mine always seem so loose. P.s. Love your videos.
Clever! Is there a corresponding trick for getting a chain/Vs/jersey-looking border?
I have always disliked the way my edges appear when doing garter. Your technique is a blessing! Thank you sooo much!
Beautiful yarn!
Yea! I can have nice, clean edges now! Mine are always so raggedy looking.
Dear Bjorn, I would like to know how to make the easiest lace stitch in the fewest rows! I enjoy your videos! Thank you, grace
love it. count me in. I'll send questions in
You are an awesome designer.
Thanks for this!
Thank you very much 😊
Thank you
Love Eskimo my best teacher where is he .
Thank you! When you show patterns could you please include how to do the edges?
What a concept.
Thank you, will be using this in future.
Thank you for your tutorial.💕🌺👏
enjoy your tutprials, cannot wait till I get back to Canada to order some of your beautiful yarns.Is there any duty though, I have to pay? Olga from Montreal
Thank you! I love the neat look of this edge!!
Very nice👌👌👌👌👌👌
That was great edging!
Thanks so much. Could we have a tutorial on how to keep a garter stitch border flat please as the baby cardigan I’m knitting is rolling up?
If the pattern changes from a garter stitch border to stockinette for the body it will roll just by nature. Your best bet is to wet block it if it's wool, or steam kill it if it's acrylic. Please let us know if there anything we can help you with! You can always reach us by email as well.
THANK YOU!
Is this a good edge for the seams of a sweater that have to be sewn together?
Great tip and great video! What do you do if the pattern you’re following ends the edge on a purl stitch?
thank you Bjorn!!
Thank you! I am trying it now!
Thank you. Very good tutoriais!
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO . EXCELLENT.
you are a very smart man
Please could you do a step by step video on how to do cable stitch coz I just cant remember
Thank you, so helpful.
Thanks for your video!
I don’t know how to knit but I’m watching lots of videos to learn. You have very helpful videos thank you. But I have a question on the last stitch is that what creates the even edges? Since you are knitting the last stitch after you turn it does it ever become weak?
Merci beaucoup.
Nice!
Great shirt!
Will you please make a silk lacey shawl? Thanks
Please show us how to start from the first line.
Yo tejo toda la vuelta y a la siguiente el primer punto lo paso sin tejer. Queda igual y cuesta menos trabajo. Gracias.
wow, I've never seen this thanks!
I've been looking through your tutorials to find help with the laura shawl. I think this is the WK that you have in the pattern that had me stuck, so thank you. Also, for any future classes, I normally don't have any significant tension issues but when I change colors in the round I tend to end up with either gaping holes (relatively) or really big stitches. can you help with that in a class, please?
you have solved my problem My scarves that I knitted all had a heavier sides... looking lop sided...had no idea what to do...but this way solves my problem but created another purl bumps on the sides..
Three thumbs up!
I would love to learn to make socks. Would you have a class on that?
How do you bind off on the last row.With this neat edge
It would be nice to know how to fit a sweater..bust, sleeve length?
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Thank you for your video. Can I ask if this is best way to knit a babies jacket that is knitted in one piece to the underarm, therefore having a border at each end..
