How to Knit the Moss Stitch

[@itgosktube]

Thank you for the demostration,very helpful.For all those who complain about the speed and for how she holds the yarn ,please learn how to knit and purl first and then look out for fancy stitches! And for those who think that their way of knitting is better,guess what, everybody has their own way to do so!There is no need to be rude.Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. Cheers from Italy

[@rosalieportier]

I have to agree that it is fast, and the way she rapped around kind of confused me. But it's just a honest opinion for her to be better, and no one should be rude about it in the comments. KZbin is doing better now without hater writing all these hate msg...

[@LuAzevedo]

If i ever attempt to learn how to Knit again (i knew the basics as a child), I know where to come. Nicely done, Raquel!

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Lu Azevedo thanks Lu!!! ;)

[@angiefife2430]

I do not understand why everyone is complaining about the speed, she is clearly knitting in purl and in regular knit stitch.. one by one... alternating.. this video is set up to explain how to use the moss stitch pattern, not to show people how to knit.

[@mslina7764]

For beginners.. its a nightmare. Have yet to find a GOOD video. They're all sucking. Jesus. I give up at this point.

[@gabrielicamara9313]

Because you are supposed to know how to knit and purl already search a video for how to know and put then come here she is basically a verbal pattern I found this very helpful great video

[@sumayfield1340]

Excellent video instruction for one who already knows basic k & p! I was able to take brief notes. Using a die (dice) works to remind me which row I’m on when my work gets too large. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@nashlandon5307]

I guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my account password. I love any tricks you can give me.

[@joelbrandon6807]

@Nash Landon instablaster :)

[@nashlandon5307]

@Joel Brandon i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@nashlandon5307]

@Joel Brandon it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out !

[@joelbrandon6807]

@Nash Landon Glad I could help :D

[@sallysennett8702]

The end results are beautiful...Thank you!

[@sandracaballero8036]

The more I see your teaching videos I just want to knit. The next time I visit my mom I'm going to show her your videos. She will love to learn new ways.

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Sandra Caballero oh that's so good to hear! Thank you! I hope she likes them! 🙏🏻

[@ishwariupasani910]

Thanks for the tutorial. I used it to make a baby hat and it turned out very pretty. I am a beginner at knitting, yet, the tutorial helped me understand and recreate the pattern. It was quite clear and precise. Thanks again!

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Thanks! I'm glad you like it! :)

You are welcome Anne! Thanks for the comment and for subscribing. I've been preparing more samples for more amazing stitches. Very soon they'll be here. Stay tuned! ;)

[@moorethanable]

Yes I will

[@resery1]

Thanks for this tutorial, well explained and easy to follow. I’m just a beginner but not every video needs to cater for this, I know how to do the two stitches, I just want to now learn how to do different patterns and you explain it at a good pace. Subscribed.

[@grandma.p]

does it lie flat? Can you make a scarf? Would it work if you slipped the last stitch of each row to make a nice border?

[@elizamattfacebook]

Heavens, I've not done that in donkey years, might be time to pick up my knitting needles again.

[@jodicargill8989]

Beautiful! Thank you for the tutorial. Very excited to try! :)

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Jodi Cargill Thanks!!

[@kathybrisky]

I can see how easily I would lose my place and forget what row I am on. For a bigger project for me, like a long scarf. Any tip and thank you.

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Hi Kate! You should have a row counter, that usually helps you remember what row you are at all times. I have a few at home, one for each project I'm working on. You can easily find them at craft stores like Michaels. I hope that helps! ;)

[@OlObuffalo]

Great tutorial. I like this variation, thanks

[@dorothy792]

Will this turn out ok if done the Russian way, ie same as continental but picking up front of stitch on pearl and back of stitch on knit?

[@carolynhammond2141]

Are you winding the wool twice around the needle or just your finger?

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Cassandra Trudzik. For some reason I'm not able to reply directly to you. Thanks for the comment. So this video shows you how to work the Moss Stitch, and I also give you the written instructions. In the video I mentioned the Seed st just to tell everyone the difference between the two. I'll be posting a video showing the Seed Stitch as well. I've been preparing a bunch of stitches so everyone can enjoy. I hope that helps. And ps: I appreciate feedback, it's always good to know what I did wrong so I can correct it! =) Cheers

[@donnavittorio9002]

Great video and thankyou for sharing. But isn't this the double moss stitch?

[@donnavittorio9002]

I also meant to say that this is still a lovely stitch to do especially for borders.

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Hi Donna! I did some search and apparently they are the same. I even checked on my own videos and saw the same thing. It's a bit frustrating sometimes because a lot of stitches have different names for the same thing. I guess people call it different ways. Oh well... :/ Thanks for noticing that and leaving a comment. I really like it and I even used it for a recent design for the cuffs and collar on a sweater! ;)

[@donnavittorio9002]

Thankyou for replying and yes I am also doing it now for the cuff/brim of a child's beanie. it looks great.

[@georgine7030]

Donna Vittorio that is what I was thinking

[@hemasrinivasan1730]

Well, i am 58 and i had learnt knitting when i was in school, some46 yrs back! i still remember how we used to enjoy the needle work class by our beloved sister at our school. One doubt tho' , is the mos stitch only doing " knit and pearl stitch alternatively? Please , i am waiting for your reply, . I want to knit a shawl for my grand child with moss stitch which i knew i loved at that time. Thanks ma

[@mclarty78]

Thank you for this easy to follow pattern. If you can’t knit and/or purl then you need to learn before commenting that she’s going to fast. She’s teaching a stitch not teaching how to knit. 👍

[@LinhDec]

Hi thanks v much sharing this! I have tried this stitch and noticed that as I progressed, one end is shorter than the other by 1.5cm. Not sure where I am going wrong. Can anyone help please. Thanks!

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Linh Ly Hi. Thanks for the comment. huumm... it's hard to say where you made a mistake. You shouldn't be getting the pattern short. Try again from the beginning and make sure you follow every single step. Sometimes we misunderstand the abbreviations or what they mean. I hope I could help a bit. It I could be next to you seeing you work maybe I could spot an error! Good luck and let me know how it went!

[@sugarbabie1681]

Very easy to do didn't even have to watch your hand's to get it came out perfectly! Knit Pearl knit pearl then Reverse on the next line guy's. (now lets hope I have the time to do a blanket instead of a swatch x3 LOL )

[@susannedeumig6556]

Hi there. Just came across this video trying to learn something new even though I've been knitting for almost 40 years. I was a little taken aback by all the yarn wrapping you constantly do whilst knitting. I don't know if it is because you are left-handed (it appears that way watching the video) or because taught it to you this way. I can assure you that it is not necessary to knit in such a laborious and time-consuming way. Indeed I knit much faster, whilst keeping the yarn, which will form the new stitch, firmly wrapped around my left index finger. Furthermore, the same yarn is fed through from my left index finger, winds through the rest of my fingers of my left hand to maintain proper tension, and that yarn then comes from a ball of wool, which I usually keep in a small container to allow it to move whilst keeping it clean. I know we knitters probably all have our little quirks, but most people want to learn how to knit in a time-efficient way. Please don't be offended, as I only mean well and don't want to upset anyone.

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Hi Susanne! Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately I was, for some reason, having a hard time on this specific video on holding my yarn properly. I apologize for the distraction. It is indeed quite a pain to watch that. I am not left-handed though. LOL - I've improved my ways but I still need to wrap the yarn around my fingers so I get good tension. I guess each knitter has her own style. I've tried practicing Continental style too to knit faster but it's just too weird for my hands! LOL - anyways, I appreciate the feedback. It wasn't my best video I agree. But the other ones are nicer! =) take care!

So if knit row 4 which is the same as row one... do I start row 5 with knit or pearl ?

[@KnitItOutVancity]

+Kim Galea Hi Kim! So you'd start the row count again, which means you will work row 1: K1,P1... Don't think as row 5, think that you work 4 rows and start at row 1 again, that way you always keep track of which row you are! Does that make sense? I hope it helps. Thanks

[@goldenrosesforme]

Thankyou for your help.... love your patterns

[@amzpogi]

thanks for sharing... i like the pattern and it looks awesome. i've tried it and love it...

[@KnitItOutVancity]

I'm glad you like it Amy! Cheers

[@JULESBUMSTEAD]

hi thanks so much for the demo. i am a little confused though. please can you tell me after you have done the 4 rows you go back to row one again knt 1 prl 1 ? meaning that you have 2 knit 1 prl 1 rows together ie. row 4 and row 1 or after row 4 do you then do the 2cnd row. sorry im new to knitting and im flippin useless

[@KnitItOutVancity]

juliet bumstead hi! Yes! You go back to row 1 and start all over again. When you see in pattern “repeat these x rows” that means you work all the rows and start again on row 1, unless the pattern says otherwise! 😉 hope that helps! Don’t hesitate in contacting me if you have any other question!

[@sugarbabie1681]

It looks lovely if you just knit 1 row between the design as well, I just love this stitch!

[@samanthascarcella526]

After row 4, do I repeat row 1 or row 2?

[@megglenn4249]

+Samantha Scarcella You repeat row 1 after 4. The pattern requires you to knit R1, R2, R3, R4, back to R1, R2, R3, etc.

[@lisawintler-cox1641]

You hold the yarn around your hand almost exactly the same way as I do! So, I don't find your techniques distracting in the least! I'm sure there must be videos for continental knitters to learn from. If not, there's a gap that needs filling! Perhaps by one of the people below? I like and appreciate your video. By the way, what was your cast on method?

[@irenemalvea1286]

Like the patterns they are simple and easy to learn.

[@kimpelk2901]

can i get a write pattern of moss stitch so I get copy

[@kiwiskitten7533]

Everytime I knit a new pattern it doesn't come out right and just looks like a big mess I'm using a super bulky (that's what it says on the label) yarn and I can't even do the basic seed stitch! Does the yarn type even matter?

[@kiranpreetkalra6254]

could you please tell me what will be row 5th

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Kiranpreet Kalra hi! You go back to row 1. You’ll work the 4 rows and go back to row 1. Does that make sense? :) I hope that helps!

[@kiranpreetkalra6254]

Thank you!

[@tammyberg4252]

Viewers have the option to slow down or speed up a video in the lower right corner under settings. Just FYI

[@lynn7767]

That's a great color. Where do you get your yarn from?

[@KnitItOutVancity]

+Ash Lynn Hi. It is a great color, isn't it? I honestly don't remember where this one came from but I usually go to a Local Yarn Store or for the videos sometimes I go for a more affordable yarn like acrylic from Michaels stores. Do you have a Michaels near you? You can try them, they have great colours like that. Good luck and thanks for stopping by! Cheers! ;)

[@redredwine1277]

Thanks, very helpful info. 🌼🌺🌸

[@GemmaWeirs]

Great demo. Btw you weren't going too fast. People attempting to learn this pattern should already know how to knit and purl, since this pattern only uses these stitches, therefore shouldn't need a slow-mo demo. I thought the basic row repeat was clearly explained. Thanks.

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Thank you!

[@kittylove2975]

Thank you, I did enjoy your video...🙂🧶

[@flagerdevil]

Why does this make the whole thing askew? Like it's hanging at an angel from the needle. It doesn't do that with seed stitching. Am I doing something wrong?

[@sarg38]

This may be a little late, it may be the tension in your stitches. Sometime my purl stitches are just a tiny bit looserer (if that's a word) than my knit stitches. It can make a difference, hope that helps

[@MonicaPalomo]

How did you all manage to understand? I'll try to find the written version...

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Hi Monica! Thanks for your comment! Please refer to the video description so you can follow along. I hope that helps.

[@wt30001]

Thank you I found this helpful.🙂

[@carolpatulak7475]

What size needles?

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Hi Carol! It depends for what! In this video I used Size needles US 7 and worsted weight yarn but you can use other sizes and other yarns as well! ;)

[@katiewebb6271]

May I make a suggestion? Learners would really benefit if you either slowed down when you do the stitches or if you put your video on slow mo. It REALLY makes a difference to work out what you’re doing with your yarn. Thanks

[@bhuvijain]

Just FYI, every KZbin video can be played at a slower speed if you want. It's a very convenient option for fast videos like these. Hope this helps

[@mtngrl99]

it's, beautiful work, AND it would be super helpful if you could/would go much slower in the future since we really want to learn from your awesome skills! (even slowing down the recording itself might help some of us). ;) thank you for showing us this beautiful stitch! you're clearly an experienced knitter.

[@KnitItOutVancity]

+mtngrl99 Hi! Thanks for your comment and feedback! This video was one of my firsts and it is indeed faster than it should be. I've been getting a lot of feedbacks regarding this particular issue. Thanks for your kind words and I've been improving my teaching skills every video I make! I truly appreciate your comment! Thanks and keep following my videos! ;)

[@khayatollahyoga9659]

[@mariakhan8727]

Hmm well I followed exactly as u said y I can't find the design coming out it's totally diff then in the video or I did wrong 😩

[@sophiamock5774]

ive been trying to do this for 2 hours straight and it comes out a knotted mess every time, I dont know what im doing wronggg

[@Ok-qf4wz]

Hi, I've looked all over KZbin and I cant find the exact video i need. I love the moss stitch, it's beautiful. But currently i can only do the knit stitch. I feel comfortable with that one, but i want to change it up a bit. Could you make a video just like this, but a little slower? What i mean is going over the steps lots of times quite slowly and really showing us what you're doing. I've found that making up things to help you remember what to do works well. Thankyou. And sorry if thats not your type of subliminal.

[@SnugsBrocks]

hi, I follow the way you do it but U get a different design. HELP... I'm lost...

[@KnitItOutVancity]

Hi! I'm sorry you are experience this! Make sure you see the written pattern that I put in the video description. It helps to have it with you and follow the video as well! Please let me know if that helps! Good luck! :)

[@HB-cr1ef]

I’m having the same problem! 😭 did you figure it out?

[@salankritagogoi7212]

It's a repetitive pattern where 1st row is knit-purl-knit, then 2nd row you purl the knits and knit the purls. It should come up. If it still doesn't show, do two rows of each step

[@swativ8198]

Have you checked the number of stitches you're working with? She says to use an odd number for the moss stitch.

[@glenysdonaldson4771]

This looks like double moss stitch, the same instructions as your video for double moss stitch. Where I come from Moss Stitch is made up of two rows of an odd number, where you purl each knit stitch and knit each purl stitch.

That is not the UK version of Moss Stritch. That is what we term as Irish Moss Stitch. Great video tho.

I agree with a few people on here, your twirling the wool round your finger in totally unnecessary and gets in the way of us seeing where the wool is or should be going
