The Kitchener Stitch

My contribution to the billion other videos out there on the Kitchener.

I accidentally ran across one of your videos about double knitting and now I am hooked! I've been knitting for about 50 years and learned to double knit and kitchener stitch about 30 years ago. However, while I still knit, I haven't done anything special in forever! Thanks to you and your clear, clean, and concise videos, I am now anxious to start again. You have a new avid follower! Wish you had a webpage...

I have to say that at first I found your birds and rooster crowing offputting, BUT every one of your videos are excellent! I have learned to create a perfect selvedge edge in double knitting, how to do a long tail tubular cast on, and now how to do a Kitchener bind off in double knitting. You totally know what you’re doing and how to explain it well!

This is the fourth time and fourth video I've watched on how to do this stitch. The first 3 times were dismal - I kept getting lost along the way somewhere. I watched your video and it was so clear and easy, my fourth attempt was a complete success. Finally, good looking toes on my socks =) Thank you!

Thanks Lissa, for this very helpful tutorial. Just finished a baby blanket and had never done the dbl knit before. You are very clear and concise, which really helps when you are a beginner. LOL I go to all your sessions and you are the best.

Just wanted to let you know that I've just used your video to remind me of the Kitchener as I bind off the second sock of my first ever pair! So many months on, my brain doesn't seem to hold the information, but maybe this is because I know your video is here at a click of a button! Thanks again, you're wonderful!

Thank you! You're the BEST! Easy to follow and listen to and great tips along the way AND how to finish! I can now finish my Braided Twirl Tam. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

This is THE best video on the kitchener stitch! I tried it three times, yes, three times and then came across yours. Success! Thank you very, very much for making the process clear enough for even me to grasp!

[@lissaplus3]

+Linda Speers YAY!! Im soo happy!

[@denisepettit8534]

I agree with the others compliments. Are you still knitting on youtube or have you moved on with your beautiful voice?

[@OldLadyTh0mas]

oh yes...love the chickens, bugs and other critters in the background!

[@siriusbabe]

This is brilliant, it's my go-to video whenever I'm binding off! Thank you!

[@moniqueguimont6545]

Thank you so much for your help. All your videos are great

[@cherylrocha8875]

By the way, love your nature setting! Good memories brought back.

[@shanticatacchio9515]

Only video I ever subscribed to and saved. Thank you

[@lissaplus3]

What a wonderful complement!! Thank you soo much! If there is anything you need explained more, let me know!

[@lissaplus3]

Take your green yarn and knit across the gray side and then kitchener with the gray yarn. (I hope I understood that!) Good luck let me know if that worked out for you.

[@lissaplus3]

@siriusbabe thank you!!

Hi Lissa. Thanks for the How-Tos for double knitting & Kitchener stitch. I'm double knitting in two colors, green & grey, and my cast on has a green edge on the grey side, and a grey edge on the green side. I would like to Kitchener bind-off to have the same effect, green edge on grey side and grey edge on green side. Can you tell me how?

[@moniqueguimont6545]

Thanks Lissa, I am looking for a way to increase a stich nicely on a purl row. Can you help me?

[@lissaplus3]

Thank you! You flatter me!! I do have a blog, but dont write in it as much as I should. caston4u dot blogspot dot com.
