Picking Up Stitches Along A Knitted Edge - (see how I made a stitch-count mistake and fixed it too!)

Picking Up Stitches Along A Knitted Edge - (see how I made a stitch-count mistake and fixed it too!)

OK, you can bet that there will always be phrases in knitting that you won't understand. That happens for me too!
Today's video places another one in your knitting tool kit, so you can figure it out more easily when it appears for you in your knitting instructions. We're picking up stitches along a flat edge, as you might need to do for a button band.

Here's a link to the free digital download that I mentioned in the video so you'll have all the knitting jargon tutorials right at your fingertips:

So glad I found you, I am knitting myself a cardigan and have reached that point where I have to pick up stitches for the button bands and then the neckband. Eeeeek! Your video was most helpful and encouraging, thank you so much!

[pollyyu]

Thank you so much Hannah! Lovely clear explanation. You’ve defiantly helped my on way with my current project!

[kristinap]

much more clear than other videos I've found. I'm glad I'm not the only one who divides! Thanks for keeping it simple, Hannah!

[suzannestevens]

Thank you, Hannah! I've always hated picking up stitches. I measure and divide as well but showing exactly which part of the border to go through, and how to add or lose a stitch or two without having to start again is fabulous. Thank you so much!

Best video I have found for picking up stitches 🧶

[fayecampbell]

I love the way you approach knittiing in such a relaxed manner. It helps me to feel less intimidated approaching the task myself.

[janebuckland]

Thank you. Need to watch a few times before finding the courage to complete the edges on my throw. I am just impressed I powered through and got to this part. My first big project😊

[maretabester]

Hello Hannah, thank you so much for that very well explained video. I have only just across you and I'm also from the UK I thought I'd watch this video. I've subscribed and look forward to watching more tutorials. I have been knitting for over 40 years, my Nan taught me but I've never liked picking up stitches or sewing up. Thank you again.
