Five Ways to Make NEAT SIDE EDGES in Knitting

[@marianabonilla3511]

Thank you for this tutorial! It was incredibly useful to me in making my first scarf after years of not knitting. Here are the timestamps for each of the five ways so other viewers can easily navigate the tutorial: 0:18 #1: Looks like a chain of stitches 1:37 #2: Looks like a chain of little beads 4:03 #3: Two garter stitches at each side 5:52 #4: Seed stitch at each side 7:52 #5: i-cord that is created as you knit

[@marianabonilla3511]

If you could pin this so people can use the timestamps, that would be great, thanks!

[@10rowsaday]

Just did. Thank you, Mariana :-)

[@friedmansfresh]

Thank you. The most helpful parts of this video were when you said explicitly to add and how many to add stitches to the cast on. Also every time you said "right side, wrong side, it doesn't matter." These statements seem simple, but they are extremely clarifying and make this video a tutorial that can actually be used!

[@erinvh620]

This video is so simple and clear. Really well-made and extremely helpful. Also, I love this woman. She talks at the perfect pace, has a very pleasant voice, and I love her accent.

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you so much, Erin :-) Happy knitting, my friend! Maryna

[@martimccorkhill5512]

I have been knitting for at least 50 years and have never had edge instructions so clearly presented. Thank you for taking the time and being so detailed in your presentation. I'm looking forward to neater edges in the future.

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Marti. I'm happy you find my instructions easy to follow :-)

[@TheLouwyan]

Thank you very much. After over 50 years of knitting I'm finally able to make neat edges. Such a relief.

[@wiwoods4me]

Thank you so much..you are very thorough. Your swatches are so even and neat.

[@taurusarmas3822]

Thank you so much! I'm in my 60s and I just started learning to knit 2 weeks ago from these You Tube videos. My edges were so loopy and ugly, it was frustrating since I have no one to really ask what was wrong.I just came upon this video last evening. I tried the first couple of ways but without success until the third one. Its great that you show multiple examples. My last swatch is beautiful! Thanks again.

[@dianelakata1308]

Always very clear instructions. Beautiful hands without the distractions of nail color or jewelry !!

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you so much, Diane :-)

[@phuongkern8027]

BEST instructions for any level of knitters. I’m glad to start learning how to knit the right way with options too. Thank you very much for for your video.

[@Rocknroll37]

Maryna, I have watched an insane number of knitting videos over the past 2 days. Yours and your techniques are top notch! Like many other less experienced knitters, I have been dissatisfied with my edges. Now that you have given excellent tutorials on how to finish the sides of a knitting project, I can feel more accomplished as a knitter! Thank you for all your tutorials!

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Gigi! I am so happy to know that this tutorial helped you to feel better about your knitting skills :-) Happy knitting, my friend!

[@korrisitsipknit3940]

I just found your video by accident. I have watched a lot of videos and you are the ONLY person that knits the same way I do! ☺️

[@pandapearl385]

I just found your channel and website today and I am so excited! There are no classes or knitting guilds in my area and other tutorials just didn't make sense to me. You are a very easy person to listen to, and your directions are easy to understand. My grandmother taught me to knit when I was 6. I would try now and again, but could never manage anything more challenging than a scarf. With your videos my ability has increased by leaps and bounds. Thank you so much!

[@10rowsaday]

Kate, I'm so happy to know that my tutorials make sense to you :-) If you need help with something that is not yet explained in a video tutorial, send me an email and I'll do my best to help. Happy knitting!

I have watched your teaching videos now for a few years off and on as well as other sites and I love yours the best! Your voice and explanations are so clear and easy for me that I have learned so many great techniques which has greatly improved my knitting. Thank you so much for being such a great teacher!!!!

[@Sandra_HereToSeeTheDuctTape]

Interesting! I always do an I-cord with slip all/knit all at the beginning/end of a row, never with alternating slip/knit stitches. Going to make a swatch today to see the difference between the 2 methods. Thank you for your video, very well explained! :-)

[@10rowsaday]

It is just another way of forming an i-cord-looking edge. This method doesn't leave long yarn floats at the edges. The method you use is also great and the floats normally disappear after blocking. Happy knitting :-)

[@deborahhobson8306]

@@10rowsaday Thank you for explaining this. I was just going to ask why you slipped two stitches in the I-cord selvage. That now makes logical sense as a way to eliminate the long float. Very helpful. Thank you for a very clear instructional video. Well done!

[@juliaarthur1609]

You are amazing. This is incredibly helpful. I was familiar with the first four. But the 5th method knocked my socks off. I love it! Thank you!

Thank you, Julia :-)

[@lilladevihargoon9078]

Thank you so much, i always had a problem knitting scarves. Appreciate this tutorial great job.💗 .

[@lewzgirl1969]

This was a great overview of different side-edge techniques to give your knits a nicely finished look. I’m most likely to use the 1st method for my current project because it’s neither a straight stockinette nor garter stitch pattern and the first method will probably work best. I also appreciate the suggestion of doing a little swatch in the pattern to see how the various methods will look. Thanks 😊

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Lisa. I agree - the first method is very versatile and it works with various stitch patterns. Happy knitting :-)

[@rubyfisch5077]

Another amazing video! You have a wonderful way of explaining without talking down to us. Thank you. I do have an unrelated question- do you block your swatches before demonstrating. It just occurred to me while watching, that none of your swatches are curled.

[@10rowsaday]

Hi Karen. Thank you so much for watching my tutorials and for the kind words :-) Yes, I block most of my swatches because curling hides sections of the swatch and distracts from the knitting technique. Some swatches do well without blocking, especially the ones that have one garter ridge at the bottom. Happy knitting :-)
