Which one has the most stretch?

[@DoraDoes]

I would say the slip stitch back loop only. It’s definitely the most elastic.

[@zofiapawezka2385]

when in the video is the pattern that is first one in the down right corner or what is it called? I'm a beginner and to me some of them look the same😅😅

[@DoraDoes]

Do you mean the one on the bottom right in the thumbnail? If so I think it’s yarn over slip st blo. ☺️

[@GabrielleMichael]

Can you use these ribbings for blanket edges?

[@DoraDoes]

Yes, I don’t see why not! ☺️

[@caralinehowden2951]

Hi, I have tried each of these ribbings, yes the work, but I want one that is part of the garment, not to be attached later. Each one of these I feel are detached and doesn't fit my needs, Any ideas on how to get this effect on a beanie starting with what ever pattern from the crown to the bottom that will include the ribbing, as I have found a perfect pattern in just (post) ribbing, but I want to be able to do something else. Any ideas will be welcome, thanks

I think this video does a great job mentioning why the vertical ribbing post stitches don’t form the right stretchiness for something like a hat band compared to the horizontal ribbing. TL Yarn Crafts has a tutorial on how to connect the sc back loop ribbing to a hat in progress to make a ribbed band. Or if you really want to keep working in the round, pick up and knit your ribbing!

[@caralinehowden2951]

@@frog2tog The pattern I am using which is the post version of ribbing, (one stitch front one stitch back) it has loads of stretch, I just wanted to try something different, like a patterned hat for the top with the ribbing at the end. So this does work, just not with the versions in the video, as I have tried those and there is no to little stretch. Children and some adults like a hat to be snug, but not tight, but I will continue to find a way. I didn't say that the video was wrong in any way, also when I am knitting I use a smaller needle to do the ribbing, I have been knitting and crocheting for over 50 years however, ribbing is a bit new to me, but I will find a way eventually. Being vision impaired knitting is a problem for me as I cannot see if I have dropped or split a stitch until I look close up or after a few rows, but dont have the same problem with crochet. Pretty sure you too would be frustrated when you cannot see and things keep going wrong.

[@DoraDoes]

Hiya, so for this you would need to select a vertical ribbing like the front / back post. I’ve yet to discover a rib that runs at right angles to the main piece in the same way. But always looking!

[@DoraDoes]

You can attach any of these rib stitches to the end of a hat for example, by working in short rows at right angles. I have a separate video which explains this in detail - you can either start with the ribbing then work the hat or vice versa. I think that’s what you mean? Here is the tutorial if so: doradoes.co.uk/2017/10/27/getting-the-band-together/

[@caralinehowden2951]

@@DoraDoes Thank you for answering, I will look at the video to see if its the way I mean, sorry if it sounded off, I really was trying to figure a way so I can make other hats with patterns as its getting a bit boring working in one style. I like variety keeps the mind active instead of mindless. Again thanks for your help.

Just so you know, the time stamps don't all work. I think they are formatted incorrectly

[@DoraDoes]

Thanks for letting me know. I’ll look into this asap!
