شكرا ولكن ماذا تسمى هذه الغرزه في الكوروشيه

[@serapugurlugil9214]

Thank you this was useful... In stockinette stitch You may knit the first stitch and slip the last stitch purlwise ( right side).. Purl the first stitch and slip the last purlwise ( wrong side) 😇.

[@lenaccarlsson]

Thank you!

[@happywoolknit]

Very nice ❤❤❤

[@GZDesigns]

Thanks 🤗

[@diyangeluk]

A lovely video thank you

[@Ursaminor31]

My go to is the first one

[@barbarasd1196]

Are stitches added for the slip stitches? For instance if i’m making a blanket with 10 stitches on each side, do I add an extra stitch to each side?

[@GZDesigns]

Yes, you usually add an extra stitch to each side.

[@JustWriter]

So: a knit edge, a purl edge, or an e-knit (twisted knit) edge?

[@tansumin7430]

hello, thanks for this tutorial, would love to know whether this method can be used on sewing up toys? thank you 💖

[@vivianpowell1732]

I prefer Option One because I find it easier and neater to slip the first stitch on a row knitwise, rather than purlwise.

[@teresaolofson1377]

will it work for stockinette?

[@emmy_dreams83]

Yep! I've just finished trying all 3 options and I prefer the 2nd option but go by what you prefer and feels comfortable to you, just when you turn your work do the opposite ( so as if ur about knit the first stitch just put it on your needle, then continue to purl the rest of the way till you turn your work again) Hope this helps! :]

[@Sylphadora]

Do you add 2 extra stitches for the edges?

[@GZDesigns]

Yes, you do

[@Sylphadora]

@@GZDesigns Thanks! I rewatched it and realized I got it wrong 😅 I’m doing option 1 but I was knitting the first stitch instead of slipping it. I’ll redo it.

[@kittykittybangbang9367]

Option 1: 0:06 Option 2: 1:00 Option 3: 2:14

[@Pixxelina]

Are these good for invisible seaming later?

[@GZDesigns]

No, these are more decorative edges. I believe you can better seams if you don't slip stitches for edges.

[@Pixxelina]

@@GZDesigns thanks!

[@joan66joshua]

The colour of the background and your text are similar hence not readable comfortably. Kindly make the necessary changes.

[@GZDesigns]

joan66joshua hi! This video is the first one I ever made and the text is “hard coded” so I cannot make any changes to it. Sorry.

[@janhenderson2521]

SELVEDGE meaning self edge. Not SELVAGE.

[@GZDesigns]

An interesting point.

[@janhenderson2521]

GZ Designs it’s not a point. Just correct spelling.

[@surban4369]

@@janhenderson2521 The selvage or selvedge is the end of woven fabric that is finished in a way that keeps the fabric from unraveling. Selvage is the American spelling of the word, and selvedge is the British spelling. So…both correct.

Damn - nice knitting. Super clean. 😻
