How to knit the "Join As You Go" Button Band | TeoMakes

[@GailUrso]

This was one of the best knitting tutorials I have ever watched. Correct speed and visuals. Brilliant. Also reminded me to make buttonholes. Perfect.

i was searching for this method of knitting a button band. thank you very much for your tutorial❤

[@verena_techie355]

Looks perfect! I wonder if you'd mind sharing a sample pattern ie stitch counts to make this look good since in adapting my cast on band to this one. Thanks

Thank you for this demo. I’ve been trying to figure out how to avoid knitting a separate button band for years xxxx

[@TeoMakes]

thank you, i'm glad its helpful

[@MarieH528]

Thank You for the demonstration, it is a beautiful way to do the join as You go button band or plain band if that’s the look You want. I am a visual learner when it comes to some techniques so I really appreciate this video and I’m going to save it for future use!

[@TeoMakes]

thank you for the lovely words

[@lauriebilbruck1526]

Thank you! I’m going to give this a go. I already bound off my ribbing, so I will need to do some weaving in.

[@amberdempster9387]

What if youre starting on the opposite side of the button band, how do you get the nice edge on the front, wouldnt it show on the inside?

[@marleensteinhoff]

This is so helpful! I was looking for a technique exactly like this to modify an existing sweater pattern that I wanted to transform into a cardigan pattern, not knowing how many buttons I need .. thank you!

[@marleensteinhoff]

P.S.: without sewing! I hate sewing by hand .. ;)

Are you knitting through the back loop for a reason? Is it somehow important for tension on the buttonband?

[@andreamiller6200]

I am also interested in this answer. I wonder if she was trying to knit a twisted rib hence through the back loop. I did notice that as she was first creating the foundation for the vertical button band there was one stitch she knit that was the usual Western through the front, and I also did notice as the video started and she was completing the hem ribbing that the knits were seated Eastern on the needle and she was knitting through the back loop of those knit stitches. I hope she comes back to explain this part of it some more!

It's a form of combined knitting technique...I knit like this, it's easier (for me) and faster, especially for the purls.

[@ddrakeutube496]

Because she wraps the yarn clockwise on a purl, the stitch has an “eastern” mount -you see this when the work is flipped over because the leading leg is behind the needle. To correct that mount back to a “western” mount, she knits through the back loop. Combination knitting (eastern and western mounts) does make a difference in tension but is also easier to purl.

[@sandysela6642]

There is a name for this knitting method which I don’t remember. This is how I was taught by my Eastern European mother. If anyone knows the name of the method let me know.

[@rachelar6]

Thanks so much, I've been trying to find a tutorial for this but wasn't sure what it was called lol

[@myrondemkiw3666]

Where do you start the band on left front without knitting on wrong side. Thanks

[@TeoMakes]

The last bind off stitch becomes your first knitted cast on stitch

[@ninnettaskaanstrom1960]

Thank you

[@karenverdier7032]

What happens if you knit a join every row?

[@TeoMakes]

Your band will be too long, because you have more rows then stitches

Peggy’s pastures Do you start at the top of left front otherwise you are knitting band to unfinished side of left front Great video for technique. Thanks.
