Knitting tutorial: How to work a Lateral, Vikkel or Latvian Braid

[@christiemacdonald6721]

Who else chose this one because it was under 5 minutes? And, we were rewarded. So clear and concise! Thanks!

[@greysunshine]

Me. Some stuff herr is so long, and I'm thinking, "move it along, Plato,"

I did on my sweater. It is a super easy and nice stitch. 💟

[@njerimatenjwa5467]

Pure gold. Nothing but the tutorial.

[@zzxjoanw]

Nah. I'd rather something be just long enough, whether that's 5 minutes or 20.

[@alexmooney7474]

This was a FANTASTIC tutorial. Thank you for showing each step clearly without drawing it out too much. This is exactly what I needed!

[@MediaPeruanaKnits]

Thank you so much for your feedback, I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@bethnegrey430]

I'd never heard of this before. So pretty! And the instructions on my pattern were confusing, to say the least. This is nice and clear. Thank you!

[@MediaPeruanaKnits]

SO happy to hear it was useful!

[@scientificexplorergirl3374]

This is much easier than I thought it was going to be. Thank you for your clarity!!

[@saskiaboudreaux1694]

I knit lateral braid many times, but never seem to remember. Thanks for your tutorial 😊

[@michellebabin7582]

Woww I love your explanations. Thank you so much

[@parisahashemi476]

Thank you so much for the easy to follow tutorial ❤❤❤ Can you show us how to do a few rows of this back to back??

[@margaretfyffe7252]

Thank you. Just what I was looking for. Single colour lateral braid. 🤗

[@judybutzler3680]

Great tutorial. Straightforward, understandable and to the point!

[@njerimatenjwa5467]

Thank you 🌷 Its a lovely stitch and has plenty of possibilities.

[@belindawaldo3678]

Great voice, easy to understand and pace was good (I did slow it down to .75 on setting) Glad you did it in under 4 minutes. I will link it to my project

[@cleaberge9395]

Absolutely perfect tut!

[@cuppiesto]

Excellent tutorial. Very well paced and easily understood.

[@deepaligaitonde8606]

Thanks so much for this very helpful tutorial! 😊

[@shelives7]

Very nice instructional video. I like the way you slip the stitch back and reorient it. Makes a very nice look. Thanks! P.S. How do you attach if you are knitting in the round? Do you happen to know?

[@posttolulu]

What a great tutorial. Thank you!

[@smariegalski3641]

Great tutorial. (And gorgeous yarn!) Thank you!

[@ashrafaaseyedbagher8949]

Very good instructions thank you. Can we have more than one horizontal stitch in the same row?

[@ADAKNITS]

Very cool! I will use this technique for my sleeves😂

[@gigiaustin5854]

Very good tutorial. Thank you.

[@Marny5580]

fascinating to me how such patterns are 'found' ... thank you for sharing a how-to. this way looks easier than the first one i saw - dropping/holding and then putting back on. *that* is more fiddly than yours.

[@Cthecool]

Oh My Goodness how cool is that!!! Excellent 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥰🧶

[@LErm-st4qr]

Thsnk you very much. Works easy and looks greatfull

[@naja2314]

Very nice of you to share🌺

[@semprelegato10]

Nice and easy. Love your calm voice. Question..when you slip back to left needle ard you slipping as if to knit an why

[@NorahsYarnArt]

Very well demonstrated; thank you!

[@eastlynburkholder3559]

I use knit into the back of the stitch often for this reasons--->Putting an extra twist by knitting into the back loop will make a cheaper yarn look nicer as your fabric will have a 'better hand' meaning texture. The extra twist in every stitch or in some of the stitches helps to avoid the stiff cardboard like texture and avoids the limp like a wet cotton mop strand texture. You can throw the yarn differently (the yarn runs from the skein tom above rhe back needle and then down between the needles instead of up between the needles as it would for a non twisted stitch) , knit into every stitch into the back loop, and you can cross every stitch and by using one or two or all of these methods at once, you will get an more elastic springy feeling fabric than that yarn could otherwise give you. Play with the larger and smaller needles if you try this.

[@Jerez-k8u]

If you struggle with your stitch being too tight, slide the loop on your left needle towards the tip of that needle. You now have more space to insert your right needle into.

[@eastlynburkholder3559]

Beautiful stitch pattern

[@CassieDA17]

How would you do this on circular needles?

[@caroleklosowska4874]

Thank you I really like this stitch 😘

[@themorganstoday7512]

I think the instructions are a little quick and for people that are learning can be hard. Also showing closer how you do the stitches and taking time to show your movements. This is a constructive observation

[@annemarieguedesnunes9089]

I can not hear what you are saying, sorry
