[@maggiepatterson7949]

Thank you for showing how to spot a mistake and how to fix it! great video. great instruction. easy to understand, follow and remember.

[@lauraodonnell1606]

I am a right-hand knitter, so this is very helpful. I am glad I found your video. Just need to snug that stitch :)

[@cynthiajohnson1124]

Omg!!! Game changer! I wasn’t having trouble do the vikkle braid, but my next row had huge elongated stitches I couldn’t fix!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[@kittypij]

Thank you for the great tutorial. It finally clicked for me.

[@gennyholland5340]

Wonderful tutorial and technique. Side note, the best voice and cadence 😃

[@MarciPayne-m3b]

Thanks! I tried to fix a split yarn stitch a couple stitches back and ended up getting lost as to how to move forward once fixed. Your version let me understand the basics of the stitch and I was able to get back in the groove again! Thanks!!!

[@paulabarrow1559]

Thank you so much for your timely response! Your videos are always the clearest of any!

[@vadec5909]

Brilliant!! Thanks I have 1 row to use this!!

[@br6480]

That was the easiest and best tutorial I’ve found. Appreciate the hint about tugging the yarn.

[@kausaranees]

Thank you, I was looking for this.

[@normabyrd274]

I have always enjoyed any of your tutorials and have saved them, and this one, in my computer knitting file of special videos. Your instructions are clear, pleasant and thorough. Thank you so much!

[@alphabo1]

That's a wonderful technique. Thanks for sharing it with us

This looks a bit easier then the traditional, which I messed up when I tried and had to start my project over. The other tutorial had one feature that I found super helpful: they wrote the instruction out so you could read them while you watched. For visual learners like me, this is perfect. For this multi-step method, having a list of steps is nice☺️. Thank you!

[@theastewart6721]

Another great technique! Thanks for sharing!💕

[@leighabresch8143]

Very nice alternative method of doing the lateral braid. It keeps that next row of stitches from becoming stalky and stretched out. How you start eh braid also cures that wobbly starting stitch at the beginning the row. Great video, clear narrative! I like your term "muscle memory". Knitting is all about getting your hands to cooperate with your brain. Good knitters seem to have this in spades! Thank you for sharing this.

[@sueholt2788]

Thank you for your lateral braid tutorial- knits fast and, with your tug on the yarn at a crucial stage, the following row doesn't turn out sloppy as it does for other lateral braid methods.

Thank you dear💕

[@aolster3198]

Love lateral braids and you clear demo! Trying to find the BO you mentioned. Please reveal the link. Thank you.

[@lindagauthier-morin9522]

You are a very good teacher, your voice gives us confidence! It is as if we are knitting with you. Please continue to give us A++ tutoriels. (Ps. I am a retired teacher and you say just enough for us to grasp what you are saying)

Boa tarde 👋 Chegando ao seu canal vim conhecer seu trabalho. Tricô parabéns lindaa peça 🥰 Eu Sou Marly Alves da cidade de Ribeirão Preto SP Brasil🇧🇷 prazer 🙌

[@TheCodeCobalt]

I have this braided stitch in a pattern I am planning to knit, and the written instructions left me more confused than I was before I read them. Thank you for your excellent visual demonstration of this technique. Especially, the how to fix it if one goofs up. One does goof up, often. >_

[@nancygerseny9459]

Mimi, this alternate technique was perfect. Have you figured out a technique in the opposite direction, basically on the purl side, so the design goes the other direction?

[@kathyspitler4947]

Love this technique Mimi! Thank You so much for the video!

[@youngbloodsuz]

Very interesting.. lovely demonstration

[@verahunt2993]

Is there anything special about how you finish the round?

[@pasticheknitwear]

Yes, Vera! I have another video that shows how to join the lateral braid invisibly, found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYbTlo2bebWKZ68

[@marybethdimarco3215]

looks so nice. how would you use a lateral braid, aside from the bind off you mentioned?

[@elainebos]

I tried doing this and found it fun to do. The main problem I had was splitting the yarn. I guess I just need to practice. I’m not sure about how you start and end a row of this. What applications would you use this braid for?

[@pasticheknitwear]

Hi, Elaine. ! I love this technique and have incorporated it into many of my designs, usually as a delineator, in lieu of a row of purling. Cuffs of gloves (at the wrist), borders between two different textures. I will be releasing my bind off trio video shortly and lateral braid is step one of that. This bind off overcomes the rolls of stockinette stitch without the need for any other edging like ribbing or garter or seed stitch.

[@elainebos]

Mimi Kezer Thanks. I look forward to seeing your new bind off.

[@gayanepoghosyan2033]

I’m very confused I got stuck at the the first parts when u said put it under the horizantal when I did that it was thick urs wasn’t so where did I messs up

[@paulabarrow1559]

Mimi, I wish to use a lateral knitted in the round. Does this same technique work in the round?

[@pasticheknitwear]

Absolutely!!

[@katbaleu]

Love it. ❤️✌🏽
