This no curl technique is Brilliant! I am very happy to have seen this!

[@sowoolly]

I’m happy to hear it! Thank you for comment 👍🏼

[@annamcknight9153]

Wow! How clever is this? I've been looking for a technique like this, to keep my stockinette flat for the past year or so, and just happened to stumble on this tutorial. Thanks so much. I've saved it and have subscribed, as well. Great find)

I’m happy to hear it! Welcome to So Woolly and happy knitting 🤗

I love your tutorials! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@fadlicuy2922]

aah... it's basically the modified version of linen stitches pattern. interesting! gonna try it

[@nikkiscott4341]

Double knitting or Italian cast on set row adaptation, extremely useful to know.

[@janemckay3638]

Looks great, going to give this a go, very useful tutorial 😊

[@katelucas8269]

I really love your tutorials and used them to learn how to knit. Thankyou! Can you teach us how to do this in the round please 🧶

[@lisamanske4654]

Thank you this is so easy and is a pretty stitch for my sweater!!

[@thomasstambaugh5181]

This is wonderful. I discovered something similar while creating something similar I call a "Fisherman's Stockinette" a year or so ago. I started with Fisherman's Rib, learned how to do the special bits for purl as well as knit, and combined them. Your approach here is simpler (which I love!) because there's no knit-one-below stuff. I really appreciate your sharing. I do have one question, based on my own experimentation -- have you tried to "tink" this? I found that these double-thick fabrics are MUCH harder to ladder down and repair when the pesky dropped stitch is found six or seven rows down. They're even hard to unravel altogether and get back on the needle correctly. I would welcome any guidance you have about this. One more time, though -- thank you so much for sharing this cool technique.

I am also not happy with MRI. The last time they did an MRI for me, it was a brain scan and they stuffed me head-first into the tube so far that my shoulders were curled forward. It was quite painful and I'm claustrophobic, so not nice. But I can say that meditation did help me cope with the experience. I use Headspace at home and find it very helpful.... Hope your back pain is sorted very soon! And thank you, once again, for a very useful video!

[@sowoolly]

Thank you for your lovely comments and support 🤗

[@nancybwilborn6752]

Great tip!

[@bagpipegnat]

Interesting. I'll try that on my break. Thanks!

[@76Pou]

This is wonderful! Thank you so much ☺🙏❤

[@brendabrosnan7857]

Super, thanks for this great technique.

[@xxspudsmomxx]

I very much appreciate your videos!

[@lizwhaley9676]

This is revolutionary for me! Thank you!

Happy knitting 🤗

[@kimnovak8631]

Great video, thank you!

[@ooohlaa13]

fascinating, have tried everything, always curls ... would this method prevent a wide scarf from curling into a roll?

[@mariacortina1000]

Thank you - very clever. Does this method use more fiber than straight stockinette? Thank you in advance.

[@noellahosken1097]

Oh wow!!! TY for sharing. Did it take a while to learn, that you could do it this way? I love it.,regardless.👍💕

[@sowoolly]

Thanks! It took me a few trials and errors to create this stitch 😉

[@joannasheldon2146]

If I'm following the pattern correctly this is double knitting, but, unusually, taking care to put purls opposite the knits.

[@ingeliappelmyr8661]

Is it possible to do in the round? Love this one!

[@those_eyes]

In the round?

[@Thomas11611]

I’m sorry, new to knitting… but how on EARTH did you cast your stitches on like that? That way seems so much better than the other way I learned. Got a video on that???

[@sowoolly]

No worries, this is my favorite cast-on method. It’s called “long tail”. I don’t have a specific video, but you can play that part of any of my videos in slow motion, and you’ll learn it quickly 😉 Happy knitting 🧶

[@chemar151617]

Mine looks good I’m making a small blanket... but it’s like a pillow case inside of it lol inside is hollow. It lays flat and looks just like both sides you have done purl on one side and knit on other, it’s got a full thickness the purl side isn’t connected to the knit side inside of it lol 😆 so it’s almost like a pillow case. I’m left handed hmmmm

[@TwinkleToes2day]

Hiya - I am thinking of making myself some draining board mats and wonder if you think this would be suitable as a large piece, still laying flat; perhaps 14" x 18"? I would use a cotton yarn of course. ThanX

[@sowoolly]

Hello! I think it’ll work, but I’d prefer if you knit a swatch first, using the same needle size and cotton yarn. My swatch was made out of 100% cotton (worsted weight), and 5 mm (US 8) needles, and it was pretty firm, flat, and thick 😉

[@TwinkleToes2day]

[@SoheilHoseini-dw8uw]

Do you always start purl rows with 2 purls first or just the first row?

[@michaelreeves1147]

Making the fabric very thick often defeats the purpose of the jersey/stockinette stitch. Do you know a way to combat curl in a normal-weight stockinette?

[@zaynab3890]

I am currently working on a scarf with this pattern and now that i've made many rows, i noticed that one of my side edges looks messy/loose while the other side edge is pretty neat. Can someone please tell me where did it possibly go wrong? Should i unravel my whole work or is it something that can be fixed ?

[@zaynab3890]

Should I finish all my first rows (ws) purling the last stitch from the back? ( i did it just for the very first row of my work). Can it be the reason why one of my side edges is looking weird?

[@tasmeenhussain]

@@zaynab3890 Hi I figured it out. I added 2 extra stitches to the odd number of stitches required for this pattern, and then on every row slip the 1st stitch purl wise and knit the last stich. On the WS purl the 2nd last stitch.

[@zaynab3890]

@@tasmeenhussain hi Tasmeen, i may try it again the way you did it. I ended up unraveling my work back then.

[@Naomi-e8y]

Thanks for sharing! I’m new to knitting. Is this okay to do with any cast on method, or is there a preferred one for this stitch? Thank you. I find it hard to follow your cast on here as it’s a bit fast for me. Is it a longtail cast on?

[@sowoolly]

My pleasure! Yes, it’s the long tail cast-on, and yes, you can use any other method. If it’s too fast, you can play the video in slow motion (set up your settings) 😉 Happy knitting!

[@Naomi-e8y]

Thanks so much for sharing and responding! 😊 I’ll follow the video this evening.

[@sowoolly]

I’ve been thinking, you could try this other cast on method: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKqnY6yIl9ZgbJYsi=Hyat5p4JqY--G55Y Enjoy 🤗

[@sangeetagoyal507]

From India mam the wrong side slip stich on right side to b kint or slip the same stich pl share thanks

[@ooohlaa13]

??? don't understand

[@ingasmet5777]

If I’m working in the round, do the instructions change?

[@jwill294]

Do you always start your P row with P2? Or just for that first row?

[@SoheilHoseini-dw8uw]

Thats exactly my question too 🤧

[@maryjoseph1313]

I have done nearly a very 50 inches of length shawl. and no of cowes he. s for kids peticoats and for table cloths

[@maryjoseph1313]

I am very much interested in learning .but if you give a proper counts of stich es I can follow I feel it's a bit fast .if you go a little slower I could follow you I need to learn a bonet (cap) for winter.

[@ooohlaa13]

you can always hit the gear icon and choose a lesser speed, like 75%, her voice will sound slower and the video will run slower; sometimes when I want to skip ahead to a part I choose the speed 1.5 or if the person talks very slowly, to get on with it so to speak.

[@kadivuong2284]

can you knit it in around. thank you

[@bsfb3ar]

How would I do in round? Thanks

[@sowoolly]

I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m preparing a tutorial to teach you how to convert flat patterns to circular 😉

[@SoheilHoseini-dw8uw]

does the number of the stiches have to be odd ?

[@sowoolly]

Please take a look at the written instructions: sowoolly.net/a-new-no-curl-version-of-the-stockinette-stitch-knitting-pattern/

[@Miscli21]

If i only do this for the first 2 or 4 rows and stockinette like normal would it curl still?

[@Sam-ig9py]

I have the same question. Please answer. Thank you.

[@sowoolly]

Maybe not at the bottom, but n the sides.

[@Sam-ig9py]

@@sowoolly Thanks so much.

[@Sam-ig9py]

Still, it is a very brilliant invention.

Hmmm I could turn mine into a ottoman pouf if I wanted to stuff it lol 😝
