How To Cut Your Knitting - Steek Tutorial by Katie Green Bean

[@sussasigne]

This tutorial is simply brilliant, Katie! I have never seen anything like it. You are a genius to incorporate your wonderful illustrations. It couldn't be more clear than this. I'm in awe here.

[@SandraRing]

The Scandinavians steek also the arm holes, using the sewing mashine. I was quite shocked reading this but seeing your work now, does it makes sense to me. What a wonderful easy way to do a cardigan. 🤗 Thank you

[@murberdraws]

This is not only the cutest sweater I’ve ever seen, but your tutorial on steeking is lovely. 🩷 🍄

[@Mindfulnessification]

Katie, I have knitted for decades and this is the BEST crochet steek video I have ever seen!!!! Thank you!

[@EmalieTanos]

I have seen a lot of tutorials and this one is the best, clear in every steep. The illustrations do the work very easy for a beginner like me. Thank you for your effort.

[@briangill6119]

You know, I've steeked items plenty of times before, and I'm pretty confident in my steeking skills. I've watched other videos and read tutorials by many different knitters, including some very well known ones. And the information you give here is absolutely consistent with all the information I've come across before. That said, this is by far the most clear, easy to follow, and concise tutorial for steeking I've ever come across. It's brilliant. You obviously not only have a talent for illustration and knitwear design, but for communication as well. This is -so- well done. Thank you :) Take care and best wishes ~ Alyssa

[@janemellowes674]

Thank you for this very clear tutorial. I watched another person’s tutorial and tried it unsuccessfully on my swatch. I then watched your video and tried again…SUCCESS. My daughter will be so pleased as I’ve promised to knit her a colourwork vest top with armhole and neck steeks. I now feel a lot happier about this technique. 😊

[@laurieashley4958]

I am going to try this for the first time this weekend…😬 I really LOVE your tutorial…I had seen many videos with zigzagging, but I like this method better!

[@marilynpease8782]

Best explanation of how to do a steek that I’ve ever seen. Thanks!

[@sjohnson6607]

I think this is the most concise steek demo I have watched. Definitely now feel brave enough to do it myself. Thank you!!

[@mariagotherstrom9533]

An absolutley fantastic tutorial. Thank you so much. I have done steeks before, but I just used at sewing machine. It didn't come out this beautiful.

[@isithometimeyet6553]

I am not a huge cardigan fan, but I am beyond impressed with your design work Katie. This tutorial is fantastic too. The button band is simply perfect and looks very professional and really makes such a big difference to the finish product. It is the best cardy I have seen hands down on any podcast. I hope to one day make it as you have really demystified steeking. As Mies van der Rohe said "God is in the details".

[@FlissFloss2906]

I’m new to your channel and I’m so glad I found you. You’ve explained steeking so well, I’m still nervous but I’m going to take the plunge. I must admit I felt sick when you started cutting but as you carried on I felt better about it. Thank you for giving me the confidence to do this. Xx

[@manuelanatalio7540]

Thank you so much Katie!!!! So well explained, and i understood everything. Now i can go on steeking without being afraid of ruin the project. Thank you again.

[@gjmiller138]

This will be my first go at steeking now feel confident after watching your very clear instruction. Great presentation.

[@helenlundberg1755]

Thank you 🙏 I have always had a huge scare for this no longer!

[@depressoespresso5904]

i have very little knitting and sewing experience however i do crochet so thank you very much for this video since it uses crochet reinforcements instead of sewing machine like others i watched

[@amandabowden9260]

This has convinced me to purchase the splendid pattern and steek away 👏👏👏👏🍄🍄🍄🍄

[@stitcht78]

Katie thank you so much for your time and effort making this video! Incredibly helpful. I'm a newish knitter and want to make a cardigan that is made to be knit flat but I'm not keen on all the purls so I'm going to steek it! Your tutorial couldn't be more clear!!

[@nancyalderdice1405]

Excellent tutorial .. Easy to understand and follow . Thank you ❤️🇨🇦

[@TheVadsten]

Thank you. I am knitting my first cardigan where I'll be using the cutting method, so this is very helpful.

[@anandi483]

This was so well explained, I am looking for a tutorial to extend the borders of a sweater at bottom and sleeves . Also how to make a very thin sweater into a double layered to make it warmer .

[@attnzulu]

Marvelous!!!!!!!!

[@CountanceD]

This tutorial was very helpful. Now if I could only find where I put my Green Bean ribbon?! It’s in my sewing room somewhere!! 😁

[@EnRandigKatt]

The button band is genius. Gives support where it's needed.

[@jacquicauldwell1117]

Thank you so much that is a fabulous tutorial that even i can follow xx

[@grate.dcheese9083]

Fantastic video thank you so much for this. I'm looking forward to my pattern arriving.

[@esthro]

You're brilliant! I love how you see things :)

[@pescidisonno]

This is so helpful! I have always found cutting to be terrifying, and you’ve made it so friendly and clear! Thank you ❤

[@sandras2479]

Brilliant tutorial! Thank you so very much!

[@patriciamendler5474]

Thank you so much for the explanation. I was looking for a better way to do … I really love it ❤

[@siggejamt]

Yay!! I'm taking on the icelandic cardigan Gleði next and it needs to be cut, but I wasn't sure I could do it since I don't have a sewing machine to secure the stitches before cutting - but this will work 😁😁😁😁

[@chelseawilliams6648]

As someone who has never cut their knitting before... this was perfect! Thank you so much for the help ^_^

[@pamelamckenzie2685]

I love your cardigan its lovely love the podcast

[@dianebell3653]

Steeking !! The most terrifying thing a knitter will ever have to do !!!!!

[@mohartley901]

Amazing, thank you so much. This is so clear now.

[@opus736skinnerblessedsacra6]

Thank you , thank you! This is so clear and direct- by far the clearest tutorial I’ve seen.

[@imojjenelmer4832]

Ahhh, thank you so much for this!! Had an absolute freak out when I pattern book I was using asked me to CUT MY KNITTING!!😱😱But feeling so much more confident now! Was so helpful and clear.🥰🥰

[@rosaisaksen4561]

Thank you so much for this video!! I’m almost done with my first open sweater and I don’t have a sewing machine, so I’m so glad I found this!🧶

[@sranascto]

Great video! Really helpful! Thanks a lot. Regards from Brazil.

[@vivianebasile5550]

Thank you so much! What a class!!!

[@hisalone7166]

Katie!!!!! SUCH an amazing explanation. You’ve opened up possibilities for me! Beverly

[@onavinkeviciene1303]

Dear, Mrs.Katie, THANKS A LOT!!! You gave me power...., Definitely now feel brave enough to do it myself... Wishes from Vilnius (Lithuania)

[@lauraginesi4230]

Thanks! I am almost ready to cut my first steek. This is the best tutorial I have seen so far; I am now feeling much more confident about doing it.

[@dinahhughes7020]

I’ve done steaks before but I wish I’d watched this first, really helpful and well explained

[@debbietodd8547]

This was so concise and easy to understand. I may get brave enough to try one day but starting with the socks first! Can't wait for my package to arrive🍄🍄🍄

[@margueritefoley1262]

That was the best demonstration I have seen. I am still working up my courage to do a steeked project and this is a big help. Could you show the details of the buttonhole side? How you mark placement on the ribbon and how you secure button holes on the sweater to those on the ribbon?

[@ritaglenn6287]

Incredible! Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@ashleybucher1576]

This tutorial gave me so much confidence to do my first steek! I’m even excited to do it now 😊

[@katharinar5644]

The most beautiful and educating knitting tutorial I‘ve ever seen 🤩 Thank you!!! Now I‘m feeling brave enough to try steeking ☺️

[@MsYellop]

I HAVE been terrified to even attempt a steel before. Thank you so much for this. I’ve watched many many steel tutorials but none so well explained. Your beautiful calming voice helped too !! I feel confident to try this technique now. Thank you so much 🙏

[@mirandalive100]

[@robynstille6033]

Thank you for this wonderful explanation of the crochet reinforcement and tips on the ribbon.

[@marylawrence8470]

Very clear!

[@nicolanewington1798]

That cardigan is adorable and I was so impressed that you did the design for the ribbon too. Such a perfect way to finish it off.

[@belwynne1386]

Mystery solved! Excellent, clear instructions. Thank you.

[@joanie9258]

Wow! Very detailed and close up. Also great idea to make sewn button holes in the ribbon.

[@madelainedaley2128]

Best tutorial,

This is a brilliant tutorial. I have a pattern for a steeked cardigan but have been reluctant to commit to it. Your tutorial makes the process feel doable. Thank you so much.

[@barbarascott8276]

Beautifully executed cardigan and a brilliant tutorial. I’ve always wondered about steeking and you’ve explained it so well.

[@clairefrost3149]

Thank you so very much for this fabulous video. I have brought your pattern and I have never steeked before as it terrifies me. I will definitely be using this to talk me through the process x

[@bluejay5531]

I was discounting being able to even try your lovely pattern, which is already challenging in other ways for me, with the colorwork and such, but this tutorial sort of made it less scary, thank you Katie, your instructions are so clear and it such a lovely cardigan!

[@quenamartins2084]

It’s wonderful ❤

[@Ducathi]

Thank you for this very clear tutorial ❤️

[@barbarapregger8526]

Well explained video I might feel confident to try it out one day. Just love the cardigan design.

[@helengroeger129]

Thank you for this… I have just bought your pattern and this was the bit I am scared about … but you have made it look like I could do it. Thanks Katie x
