Cast on 5,
1)knit across
2)sl1, (yo,k2tog)*, yo, k2, turn
3)sl1, knit across, turn
4)sl1, (yo, k2tog)*, yo, k1, turn
---
Repeat until you have 12 stiches after finishing an even row
---
5) sl1, knit across, turn
6) cast off 8, knit across, turn
----
Repeat for desired length
yesss, very neatly summed up, thank you!
I thought 6 was "cast off 8, yo, k2tog, yo, k1?
Beautiful thanks
This was fun! Has me itching to pull out my needles
This was the best way to start my morning! How did you know I was wanting to start knitting lace but have 4 small children queantined at home 😉
oh my! I feel for you, I have half that amount and I can hardly finish one thought at a time 😅 this really is THE lace for us mommies😁
That’s briliant❤
Thank you!🩷
This was super clearly presented and easy to follow. Thank you so much!
I'm so very happy to hear that! 💚
Thank you!! I've downloaded the pattern book; looking forward to knitting some lace!
have fun! 💚
I can do this! I actually got the idea first time around, though I'll probably have to watch it again once I actually try it :)
Excellent video, the technique was very well explained. Mary UK
Thank you! I'm glad I've managed to make it comprehensible(I suck at explaining things😅).
Loved the tutorial but dark yarn makes it hard to see.
Thanks, I'll be sure to use lighter yarn next time!
Wait, did you just teach me to knit? 💚💙💜
OMG, that lace is really pretty!!!!! Well done! 💚💙💜
I don't know...did I?😃
and thank you!❤️💚💛
This is so pretty and very easy to follow - what yarn did you use for the teeny tiny needles version?
Glad to hear it! If you mean the one I used on the corset: cotton.
You are so pretty!!
Thank you!❤❤❤
ravelry has knitted children`s crowns with give a very similar pretty lace effect which could be used in the same maner,
that's a good idea! I was thinking that if you keep going for a while longer before casting off again you could maybe knit a sort of Van Dyke point collar.
Nice video)) thank you for sharing 👍53👍🔔
you're welcome! thank you for watching 💙
Is that a "knit through the back of the stitch" when knitting the yarn overs?
no, not that I'm aware of?
kind of... yes, that is knitting though the back loop, but that's not what the stitch "knit through the back of the stitch" (KBL) in a pattern means.
gwen wraps her yarnovers "wrong". it's not actually wrong though! it's just wrapped eastern-style. her yarnovers are mounted differently than her knit stitches bc she does her knit stitches western-style so on the next row those are western-mounted but her yarnovers are eastern, so when she knits the yarnovers on the other side through the loop on the back of the needle, she's just doing a normal knit stitch.
eastern vs western knitting has to do with which direction you wrap the yarn around the needle - regardless of what hand you hold the yarn in - and that determines whether the leading leg of the stitch is in front of the needle (western) or on the back of the needle (eastern). people who use a combination of the two are aptly called combination knitters. usually this means we knit western but purl eastern and YOs can go either way depending on the person.
it sounds like you are a western knitter. western knitters are more common in western countries so patterns are only written for western knitters. if a pattern calls for you to KBL, it is telling you to knit through the trailing leg - instead of the leading leg - in order to purposefully twist the stitch because for western knitters, the trailing leg is the back loop.
The Chilly Dog has a great intro video to combination knitting that shows the differences between eastern and western knitting in both continental and english style. it's a little over 10 minutes, but the last 5 min are just techniques: ruclips.net/video/5WP2MlICOWU/видео.html
tl;dr what gwen did for her yarnovers is just a normal knit stitch bc of how the loop was on the needle, not a KBL. i hope this made sense! 😄
Her yarn overs are incorrect? causing them to present back loop forward! I wrote this before reading above text😯 AR explains comprehensively above, thank you AR🧶🙏
Thanks
I'm curious: Where or from who did you learn to knit? Is it common to knit English in Holland? I'm in Denmark and I learned continental :)
I think it is the way here...my grandmother taught me to knit and I remember a knitting book I had when I was little...both taught me to knit this way. I didn't learn about continental knitting until a few years back.
I live in belgium and knit english style. A colleague with german roots showed me the continental way.
That's so interesting! I wonder if there is a pattern to it (yes, I'm that geeky ;))
Now that I think of it I once met a South African woman who had dutch roots who also did colonial knitting.
@@ThePixiixiq I'm all for geekyness! 😁
what's colonial knitting? or do you mean continental?
Colonial is English knitting. You find it in countries that were either major colonizers or colonized.
Continental is short for continental europe, where (most) countries knit the way I do :)
Dont see the beginming. Video to high.
Stop! Sop this sorcery! I promised myself not to get seduced into yet another craft. Knitting is my final hold out. Don't do this to me! The closest im willing to get to knitting is the Viking naalbinding kind, which I have yet to try. Im trying spinning first. And pattern drafting.
All in good time! Knitting isn't going anywhere, it will be right there if you decide to give it a go😇
