Beginner's Knitting Jargon

[@PaperWandStudio]

I love how you break down this information. Thank you... as a total beginner I appreciate it! 😊

[@KnitWithHannah]

Thanks @paperwand. I'm so glad it's helpful for you. If there's anything else from the knitting world that you'd like broken down in this way, let me know. 😍

Thank you for making your helpful videos!, thanks to you ive seen a big improvement in my knitting skills 😊😁😊

[@KnitWithHannah]

That's wonderful to know! happy knitting! 😀

[@Amandacreekcreative]

I love your outfit today! haha...nothing to do with knitting jargon but I just thought I'd tell you. :D

[@KnitWithHannah]

thanks @amandacreekcreative . It's a favourite winter jumper for sure. (It'll likely have elbow patches and darning before I let it go!)

I really need help with 'Break yarn and then rejoin' what?? what's the point of breaking if you're rejoining again...i'm knitting a hot water bottle cover

[@KnitWithHannah]

Hi Laura, does the pattern suggest that you're starting again with a different colour, or at a different part of the row? Or maybe knitting in a different direction? If you read the full section of instructions you might get a better idea of why it suggests breaking and rejoining. - it might be an important place in the knitting that you come back to later? hope that helps! happy knitting. 🙂

@@KnitWithHannah Hi Hannah, it says to rejoin at the neck of the water bottle, but I've never done this before .I don't think so got no clue...do you have a vid on this? :) I'm actually struggling to find a vid on this anywhere on KZbin

[@KnitWithHannah]

@@lauratheexplorer1994 It sounds like it's very specific to the pattern, so you're stopping one part of the knit, pausing there and starting another part. You'll likely use those stitches that you're stopping knitting now, later in the pattern. It will be difficult to find video instructions like this so close to what you're asking as it's making a shape in a particular way, unusual to other patterns. Sorry I can't help further - if you'd like more specific help I have a knit and natter for my membership on Friday this week, where you could come on video with me and show me exactly what you're doing. knitwithhannah.co.uk/invite (or you can get free 3 months of membership with this course: academy.knitwithhannah.co.uk/intuitive-knitting )

What do knitters mean when they talk about “whips”? Is that projects on needles?

[@KnitWithHannah]

a W.I.P. is a Work In Progress. They can also be called, U.F.O.s or UnFinished Objects. Us knitters like to have some fun! 😂 Happy knitting!

[@ExtraBoldPhoto]

@@KnitWithHannah ok! that makes sense. Thank you! :)

[@lordtj63]

Hi there Hannah please help! Bless you... can you please explain what you do with a "K0" or a "P0" stitch in cable knit pattern (not graph or chart)? Do you slip it, Drop it? Knit two together? I mean something has to be done with it surely right?, it cant just be left on the needle? There are no video's on here explaining this complicated process in printed commercial patterns". Thank you for any help on this. Much love from Cornwall :-) x

[@KnitWithHannah]

hi Terry, I'm guessing you're knitting something with multiple sizes, which offers k0 (k1, k2) perhaps for the sizes for this one part of the instruction. As you've come across k0 you ignore that part of the pattern completely and move onto the next instruction, whether that's a purl stitch or a cable or anything else. Happy knitting!

[@TheHootingPirate]

I call them casting off and seed stitching, a bit of both cultures, which seems very Canadian to me 😊

[@KnitWithHannah]

I love how these terms get mixed up around the world! :)

[@TheHootingPirate]

Knit With Hannah yes! I love word origin and it’s more fun when it’s about crafts. 😊

[@tammywilliams7518]

I have a pattern that reads: 16 sts of cable pattern A, 10 sts of stocking st, 16 rows of cable pattern B. I don't understand what to do with the knit 10 sts of stocking st. Can anyone help? Thanks, Tammy

[@KnitWithHannah]

Stocking-stitch is knit one side, purl the next and alternate.

[@Amandacreekcreative]

I call it casting off...is that weird? lol and I've only heard moss stitch....

[@sarahsarah4271]

What does this mean ending with a right side

[@KnitWithHannah]

Generally speaking it's that the right side of the work, the side you'll have on view once you've finished knitting, is facing you. The wrong side will not be seen once you've finished, or if it's something like a blanket it will be hidden most of the time. So if it's 'right side facing for the next row' you'll be looking at the right side as you put the needle in the first stitch to start knitting. If it's 'finish with a right side row' knit one more row with the right side facing you as you knit. Then the wrong side will be facing you as you start the next part of the instructions. This topic is on my list to film, so keep an eye out. Happy knitting!
