That is Brilliant Idea I am knitting A Baby Blanket for my forthcoming Greatgrandson In June And Have just Started to Learn to Knit (At 78 years old During the Pandemic and Absolutely Love it ) And wondered how I could do a little border for the top I am Definitely going to Subscribe to your Channel as you really take your time to say how things are done Will try to make some of your work also WISH ME LUCK🤗 Thankyou xx
I'm working on the Celtic Myths shawl and was wondering how in the world to make this border happen. Your tutorial was an amazing a-ha moment! Like, so brilliant I made my husband watch it with me.
Thank you so much! I've just knitted my first blanket and I'm used to how crochet works with doing boarders. I think I can do a simple 2 or 3 stitch boarder. Thank you!
To work around the corners, you'll need to work some extra rows. I don't have a video for that, but here's one I found that looks like it could be helpful: ruclips.net/video/Q2eaUrx278k/видео.html
Thank you for tutorial I am crazy than you my shawl is at 748 stitches crescent shape I am looking for simple shawl edging but I do like your way now I am looking for simple pattern too Thanks for the help

A yarn over is an increase so that means you need to balance it out with a decrease. I'd recommend the following 4-row repeat: Row 1: Knit two, yarn over knit one Row 2: Knit across Row 3: Knit one, knit two together, knit one Row 4: Knit across Hope that helps!
Hi, I want to add a border to my baby blanket but didn’t start it with a border. It seems like your video offers a solution to that problem, but I don’t know how many stitches I’m supposed to cast on for the border and the amount you casted on were specific to your project. I have 110 stitches and I’ve been working in seed stitch; how many stitches would I add of the second color when I want to start the border? And how do you go to the next side of blanket ? Thanks
This is a great way to add a border to a blanket. You'll want to decide what type of border you would like (do you want to continue with seed stitch or do something else?) and how wide you'd like the border to be. Then based upon that info (and considering your gauge so the width will be what you want), you can figure out how many stitches to cast on. As for the corners, there is a little maneuvering that you'll need to do to create those. I don't have a tutorial video for that (sorry!), so you'll need to look that up.
@@KarenDawnDesigns I am on the hunt for instructions/publications regarding 'rounding the corners' of applied patterned (leaves/various cables etc.) borders. Actually, what would be marvelous is a book that has a plethora of 'edgings' and the charts detailing the corners and the repeats on the 'straight a-ways'. Sort of an "Applied edgings with corners for Dummies". Might you be able to point in a direction where I can obtain some detailed information? Your video was quite helpful! Thank you!
@@kareno800 Hi, Karen! It sounds like what you're looking for is a stitch dictionary. I have a couple of my shelf that specifically have edges and trims: The Harmony Guides Knit Edgings and Trims edited by Kate Haxell and two books by Nicky Epstein -- Knitting on the Edge and Knitting Beyond the Edge. I'm not sure if they cover corners, but books like these might be a good place to get started looking for that information.
