How to Pick Up Stitches Along Cast On or Bind Off Edges | Pick Up and Knit From Horizontal Edge

Welcome to The Blue Mouse Knits! Today I'll be teaching you how to pick up stitches along a cast on or bind off horizontal edge. This is perfect if you need to pick up stitches for a neckline, underarm, hem/edging, or even maybe a neckband/button band if you knit your piece sideways. There are lots of reasons you might need to pick up and knit stitches form a cast on/cast off/bind off edge. In this video I demonstrate how to pick up stitches from a long tail cast on edge, but the same principle can be applied to a bind off/cast off edge too. I hope you find this video helpful! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for explaining this so well and for positioning your camera right on your example.

I just wasted 2 hours of my life undoing 104 BO stitches because I decided to go back and lengthen the garment, using a method I was told to do. When in fact it would take just 2 minutes using your method. Thank you!

Thanks! The way you showed the picking up is very easy to follow. I am knitting baby booties. My knit work original has 25 stitches, after bind off, I need to pick up and then knit 30 stitches. Could you show how to increase 5 stitches while picking-up? Thanks so much.

I have some very confusing directions to make a pillow with circular needles. To start the pattern it says to make a crochet chain of 55 stitches, then using my circular knitting needle, pick up and knit 54 stitches on the top of the chain, and then pick up 54 stitches from the bottom of the crochet chain. And then it says to knit the first row of 108 stitches and place markers at the end of 54. It says this will form a closed bottom of the pillow. I cannot locate any videos or help. I get picking up stitches but I don’t know how this becomes a row of 108 if it is top and bottom of a crochet chain. I am really stumped and it’s bugging me! Haha. Any help would be appreciated !!

Does this work the same for a few rows down? A dog jumper im knitting requires me to pick up 3 rows down
