Many thanks for this video! I haven't knitted in maybe 10ish years and decided I wanted to make 5 neck scarves for Christmas (so, in like, 4 days) and needed a quick refresher. This video is the perfect length, demo, and also examples of 'doing it wrong.' Bless you!!

[laurastrickling]

I love instructions that are immediately to the point. Thanks

[LouLunar]

THANK YOU! Two yarn colours = simple and effective visual demonstration 🙏🏻🙂

[diane]

Thanks for the video. I'm glad you stated it's an increase by TWO stiches, not just one. Great job!

[bonniemooney]

Thank you for being my first teacher in knitting! I have been knitting and crocheting now for over two years and you are my favorite. And your book has been so helpful to me through the years too. 🤗🤗

[mtgravy]

omg thank you!!! i watched 3 other videos and everyone was too slow or too fast. Youre my goldilocks!!! Thank you thank you

[mc]

THANK YOU!!! for going slow and clearly!!!! Woohoo!!

[jonathanpaypompee]

a pattern I was doing called for kfb and no instructions so naturally I came to your channel, thanks again

[karenswenson]

Thank you so much for this video. This technique makes kfb so easy.

[ellen]

the different colour yarn is a fantastic way to show us! thanks!

[fiona]

Thank you! Needed this while working on a pattern and your instructions were extremely clear.

[AntiUgg]

This might secretly be what I did years and years ago when I learned the basics ;) learning properly now with your help!

[dakotal]

This is fantastic, thank you so much.

Thank you so much for this. My granny passed away and I got all of her yarn and knitting needles from my dad... the only problem is I don't know how to knit, and my right handed momma couldn't teach this lefty how to do it. Granny left a hand written pattern for a flower that I really want to make, and turn into hair barrettes for my little cousins, and this stitch was a huge part of pattern.

[writerspen]

That was extremely helpful ^_^ Thank you so much for your tutorial!

[lindanardi]

Thank you so much for this step by step tutorial. I was terrified of DPN's, but you made it so easy. I made a cupcake hat in a few hours! Do you have written instructions for toddler/child size cupcake hat?

[portermalone]

Could you do a Weasley sweater for one of your videos?

[KS-fccp]

So simple yet I cannot do this to save my life 😂 mine is making 3 and the lines end up on opposite sides. Gave up and just cast 12 stitches instead of 6 with kfb 🤣🤣

Hello, I'm Sebastian. I've taken on a project where the sleeves of my sweater is(RS) K2, P1. Would it be advisable for me to use the same (K F/B) technique for my sweater sleeves and still keep the K2, P1 pattern going. Sincerely yours Sebastian.

[ladyseshiiria]

If a pattern calls for this can it just be substituted for a yo?
