  • 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.

    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.

    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.
    👍👍👍💕

    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!

    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.

    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. ^_^

    • @ooXChrissieXoo
      @ooXChrissieXoo 7 лет назад

      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.

    • @debras2845
      @debras2845 7 лет назад +2

      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.

    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

    • @SkeinoYarn
      @SkeinoYarn  3 года назад

      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.
