Machine knitting - How to cast on 1x1, 2x2 and 2x1 rib on. Waste yarn cast on ribs (brother)

[@julietink9615]

Thank you! Refreshingly concise and professional instructions for the best looking rib I have seen achieved on a knitting machine.

[@Knitology1x1]

Aww thanks so much! So happy to hear that 🙏♥️

[@vivadams6694]

Thank you for this, I've been faffing about for a couple of days trying to knit a K2 P2 rib. Great video and so appreciated.

[@Knitology1x1]

Glad it was helpful!♥️

[@6Murphy]

Just tried your new cast on and it worked out brilliantly, thank you for this new tip. I will be doing this new cast on from now on.

[@Knitology1x1]

aww so happy to have helped 🥰

[@sonialorenzo9223]

I followed you instructions and it was a success on my first try. I have tried a few way to start the ribber and your instructions are the best. I love you work and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@Knitology1x1]

thank you !!so happy you were successful!! 🎊

[@sonialorenzo9223]

I love this video. You make the sample and the instructions both so tidy. There is no waste of time.

I ALWAYS start any ribbing with waste yarn and a row of ravel cord. The edges are neat, clean and less of the "Y" effect.

[@Knitology1x1]

Yeah, many people prefer that. I never used but I might try ❤️🤗

[@joanneshaughnessy481]

I want to see the ribbing with the comb

[@MariposaRomania]

Multumesc mult pt clipul asta!❤

[@Knitology1x1]

cu mare drag ❤️

[@Grova]

Thanks! I refer to this video all the time. For the 2x1 rib, is it possible to get the strand of waste yarn in the edge like you have for the 1x1 rib? I tried doing the cast on using waste yarn but can’t get the last row to unravel

[@Grova]

Update: I knit the zigzag row with the main yarn and laid a strand of waste yarn over top of it and got the same effect

[@willemijn9990]

Hi Elena, I love your videos very much, I do have a question. Why do you do the ribber lever back to I before the 3 circulair rows on 1x1 rib and when doing 2x2 rib you do the lever to I after the 3 circulair rows? Thank you

[@Knitology1x1]

thank you so much! you have great attention to detail 😊 It really depends on the yarn and how the machine feels when knitting those rows if that makes sense. I wouldn't say there is a rule that can be applied to all types of ribbing and should always be followed. You need to test and see, ideally those first rows should be the tightest possible and if the yarn allows to keep the lever to (II) if not change to (I) so the tension is a little bit looser. Hope this helps 🤗

[@jackiehenits5239]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@Knitology1x1]

Glad it was helpful! 🤗

[@vimcat]

Great video! I'm curious as to why the main bed sts are dropped?

[@Knitology1x1]

I am not entirely sure but I think it’s so that the waste yarn can be removed easily. 🤔😊

[@KarlSmith-p5r]

Thank you. Too bad you didn't show us the results for the 2x1 rib.

[@MsRabbithash]

Someday do these techniques on a Studio/Silver Reed/Knitmaster machine.

[@Knitology1x1]

I got a Silver reed machine recently ✨ hope to find some time to practice soon!

[@sampooley4248]

Whenever I knit in rib, my stitches on the ribber bed don't seem to knit all the way? Even when I put the outer ones in D position, I have the appropriate weights attached, I'm not sure why it always messes up and drops stitches?

[@Knitology1x1]

I would say that the tension might be too tight if that happens 🤔

[@llDbGll]

Why do you do 3 rows of circular? Is it for aesthetic purposes or just out of pure habit? I've been taught to always do my first row from left to right, so I have to do only 2 circulars. Lovely video, really important to know your ribs.

[@Knitology1x1]

This is how I learned, most people I worked with do it like that as well. I guess it is up to you how you prefer, but I think 3 rows is the usual 🤗🤗 Thank you! that is soo true!!

Hey Elena; what do you do about transferring the 2x1 upto the main bed after you finish ribbing?

[@Knitology1x1]

just transfer all the stitches on main bed as normally, some needles will have 2 stitches on them so a good idea is to pull the needles all the way out before knitting rows to make it easier 😊

[@jucruz2559]

😍😍👏👏 thank you to explain that

[@Knitology1x1]

You’re welcome 😊

[@Bitsanddoings]

Can you show how to do these for a single bed machine like the lk150

[@Knitology1x1]

you can only do these with a ribber, to do such ribs on a single bed, any type, you must unravel and manually reform stitches. hope this helps 😊

[@susannestuetzler8725]

I tried this now a couple of times with no succsess :( Drop the stitches on the main bed?? I do not understand. Does this mean there are no stitches o the main bed or the ribber? Needles look all empty

[@Knitology1x1]

Ohh nooo:( sorry to hear that you are struggling :( that means that there will be stitches on ribber bed only, make sure that the ribber bed carriage is set to not knit and drop the stitches on main bed. Let me know how it goes 🤗

[@Talusic]

Thank you so much!

Hello! Anybody know a way to cast on 2-2 ribbing on a circular machine? I know the 1-1 method but can't apply it to do a 2-2... thanks for your help.

[@Knitology1x1]

Hello , I don’t know sorry… never used a circular machine 🤔🤗

[@selmahorn]

Hi! What knitting machine are you using?? THANKS!!

[@sramdavies405]

How do U remove the waste yarn,from main work, do you cut the yarn?

[@Knitology1x1]

you can see in the video from 0:13 how I cut it 🤗

[@copycath2011]

@@Knitology1x1 Thanks for the great video. At 0:13 you show part of the removal of the waste yarn but you don't completely remove it. Do you just pull it out of the ribbing after that? Or will the bottom row of ribbing start to unravel if you just pull the waste yarn out?

[@Jennifer-vr5ix]

[@JustJuliax]

Also co asking 😂

[@Grova]

@@copycath2011use that last strand of waste yarn to pull the edge tight and hit it with steam. Once it’s cool and dry, just pull the waste yarn out

Is it rude to add a time stamp for me to refer back to? 2 X 1 starts at 6:28

Please Machine price

[@Knitology1x1]

Depending on the machine they can be from £50 upwards. I paid around 250 for mine for both beds 🤗
