The Best Lateral Braid Ever

[@lindaw8958]

Holy cow! I struggled for 2 days trying to add a Latvian braid to my project, and the pattern instructions were a mile long…and very confusing. This is so much easier and looks perfect. Thank you so much! You saved my sanity!

[@feeberizer]

I come across lateral braids so infrequently that I always forget how to do them. This is the easiest version I've seen. Thank you!

[@leighabresch8143]

Thank you for a well done and helpful, clear video. This technique seems eliminates the loose row above the braid that you get with other methods. I like it!

[@lynnewillette2654]

This is so much easier and looks exactly the same. Thank you.

You're welcome!

Thank you SO MUCH for recording this video. I was struggling for hours trying to knit these braids with a different method, but this one is not only easier to execute, but my braids end up looking much neater and more consistent on top of that. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Beautiful! Easiest technique I’ve ever seen for this braid.

[@normabyrd274]

I had just viewed another tutorial that was MUCH more complicated! This one is much the easiest and I'm about to use it as accent stripes on a toss pillow in gold sparkly yarn on black background. Gonn be stunning! THANK YOU!

[@astridaseale1622]

Thank you so very much for sharing this technique. I used this on a sweater I knit for my grandson.

[@TLAJ2023]

Thanks! This is an ingenious way to make a lateral braid. I wish I had known about it when knitting my last sweater which had these braids.

Thank you for your incredibly clear demonstration!

[@happygirl2901]

[@karenclarke301]

Thank you thank you thank you. This is the perfect tutorial! Great instructions!

[@lillianglick4054]

can you demonstrate this in continental kinitting? thank you! this is lovely!

[@katjaberden8124]

How can you do it without cutting the yarn? - As you want to continue knitting without having to attach yarn again.

[@thebashfullamb]

I’m wondering the same thing. Is it possible to do this method without cutting the yarn? Can you go back later and “fix” it?

[@lynnewillette2654]

Yes. “Without cutting yarn, slip first stitch of new round onto right needle without working it. Pass last stitch of last round over the slipped stitch.” It’s like when you exchange first and last stitches to join into a round at the beginning of casting on for a sock. Does that help? 😊

[@danalear8562]

What needle size do you use in relation if it's (1) in a field of knitting (same size? slightly smaller?) (2) between knitting and rib, like a collar, hem, or cuff?

Great demo. Thank you

[@michellebabin7582]

So beautiful thank you

[@basilrose]

Fabulous! Thank you so much!

[@violetofthevalley]

Oh, wow, so it’s basically a bind off but you’re making replacement stitches with the yarn overs!

[@isawa6649]

Thank you

[@noriskern7385]

It didn't work well for me, cause all these yarn overs looked loose when I knitted the next row - I had to twist them and then they looked weird next to the braid. The video doesn't show how to work this out.

horizontal knit stitches.
