  • In this video I show you the method that I use for picking up the armhole stitches on the sleeves of raglan sleeved and circular yoke Top Down Sweaters, to avoid and reduce the size of potential holes.
    I then show you how I close any loose stitches with a wool needle and yarn afterwards.

    Thank you for this brilliant video, I wish I'd found it sooner! I have prevously watched loads of other videos for picking up underarm stitches and they've either been way too complicated, or someone cobbling together a seemingly random selection of stitches badly. Your video is just perfect; instantly understandable, clear directions! Thank you again.

    Thank you, making my first sweater and your video is the only one that I found easy for me to understand and execute. I was successful, thanks to you. I tried do it with another video and had to rip it all out. It looks very good now. That twist is brilliant.

    This maneuver could also be performed with a small crochet hook. Enjoyed learning this trick!

    Brilliant! I look forward to giving this a try next sweater. I've been picking up the extra stitches, but still experienced holes due to the stretched stitches. This addresses that perfectly. Well done.

    You're a God sent as I'm only a beginner as of this past Christmas after crocheting as a child and now with a total fire of exploration to learn all things needed to knit my first Jumper to give my only Daughter as my first completed Clothing project and after reviewing plenty other videos I truly appreciate your easy -to-follow precise instruction and camera angles on adding the stitches and where to go from there is Fabulous and can't wait to get to that point so I can finally try it out myself. Lovely to have been lucky and seen your channel. Thanks so very much. Regards New Orleans, Louisiana 😍

    Thank you so much for this! It was recommended by Tayler of Wool Needles Hands as part of a sweater kal. It is perfect for getting those holes to disappear. I used it for the sweater and just now for a sock. Thank you again!

    So you're picking up between the v's instead of through them? I've seen both ways, and wasn't sure which was best. I've been looking at tutorials because my top down raglan pattern told me to pick up 9 stitches where I had only cast on 6, and I wanted to distribute them the right way.

    The instructions were clear, but the music was unnecessary, distracting and annoying.
