Neat Edges for Knitting - Most Beautiful Edge Stitch - Quick Tip

[@nancyjohnson7193]

So beautiful, and beautifully explained. Thank you!!

That is so neat looking for exposed edges, but I imagine it being easier to sew pieces together with this edging. Thank you for showing this technique! I will be trying it out.

I don't do continental knitting, could you perhaps add a section on how to do the beautiful edge with the English or throw method? Thank you kindly.❤

@@jolandajulyan3568 unfortunately I don’t know how to do English knitting… I just learned to knit a few months ago and I was a crocheter first so continental was much easier to learn. The stitches would be the same - slip 1 stitch pearlwise with yarn in front, then move yarn to the back and knit 1. If I ever am able to learn English style knitting I will do a follow up video. Thanks for watching 😁

I am a thrower - just move the yarn in front slip stitch then move to the back. This looks like a technique that produces a lovely outcome. I am going to swatch/test this before adding to a project.

​@@patternandcraftWow! For only learning knitting a few months ago, your work is beautiful!

She is doing English, continental is holding yarn with left hand. This stitch is easier continental

Thank you, that’s very pretty and tidy. Where would I do a yarn over increase? Between the slip and knit or after the knit?

[@patternandcraft]

after the knit at the start of the row (so do the 2 stitch edge stitch then do your increase). If you want to add a yarn over increase at the end of the row that could be tricky, in theory you'd do it right before the slip stitch (so make your yarn over increase and then work your 2 stitch edge stitch) but I would do a swatch to test that to see if there is any issue doing a yarn over right before a slip. You could also consider a different type of increase if yarn over looks odd or doesn't work.
