Picking up Stitches along a Vertical Edge Tutorial | Purl Soho

[amishsunshine]

I have been trying to figure out how to do this for a pattern for weeks. Your video is the only thing that's shown me how to properly make this work on vertical edges. Thank you!

[arlenewagner]

I have not knit for a long time. Started a scarf and want to do a border around it. Glad I found this video first - probably about the best camera work I've ever seen, that's for the close up of what you are doing and the clear explanation!

[crabgal]

I have a tendency to over-complicate things unless I get a visual demonstration, so this was extremely helpful. Thank you!

[sandrajones]

wow thank you so much I have struggled for years picking up stitches especially around a border for a cardigan. Thank you for sharing it. now I can make baby things without worrying if it looks ok.

[soluvcuthair]

Thank you, so straightforward and clearcut, helps a lot.

[kimberlycockram]

That was very helpful. I’m nearing the end of a project and that was the part I was nervous about

This video is so helpful. I’ve been trying to pick up stitches for sleeves. So I will using this video to do it 🥰🥰

Hi. I am addicted to your YouTube channel. I achieved the sloped bind off. Thanks a million. Crazy the more I watch your videos, the more I get addicted. The more I try these on swatches, the more I succeed. All credit goes to you. Please I have a "heart breaking" question. Could you make a video on HOW TO PICK UP STITCHES ON A V NECKLINE and rib please? Desperate. There ain't ANY tutes on this. Or if there is, it's in "HINDI" but the title is in English to fool us. Haha that's a joke. Can't follow (on mute too much chattering) coz there is no zooming in their tutes. It's so far. You can hardly see what they are doing!!! Please help. I truly would appreciate this video. Thanks for sharing and caring.👍👍👍🙏🙏

Thanks for making this look so simple and easy! Would love more videos like this!:)

[ehmaho]

Wonderful. Thank you. You make it look so easy.

I'm having trouble finding the stitches to knit through. You identified where to put your needle through so quickly and easily. What are you looking for?

[mimmyjain]

If I want to do single rib after picking up stitches on a vertical edge, would I use the 2/3 ratio or the 3/4?

[theferalprincess.]

Nice and straightforward! Great not to be distracted by a gel manicure, too....

Hi, I am hoping you can help me, I have a throw rug I am knitting for my daughter for a special birthday and I really don't wnat to stuff it up! The pattern calls for a band of garter stitches to be added to all four sides and for the life I me I can't work out how to pick up the stitches needed evenly along the edge. There are 301 rows and I need to pick up 260 stitches! The calculator tells me I need to pick up every 1.15 stitches huh? What ratio do you think I should use? Thanks and hoping you can help me! 🤔😁

What do you do if your work is above you. So, I"m picking up stitches around the face of a balaklava, starting on the bottom left of the hood opening. It's stockinette. It feels very weird to be knitting with my left hand. I think I'm doing it wrong!

[tayloris]

This looks like it might do well using a crochet needle to pick up stitches as well, if you know how to crochet. Will come back to this comment with an update when I try it out on the sweater im making!

[gosiamikolajczyk]

Hi, thank you for that video ! Could you tell me how did you knit the first and last stitches of each row, to get the selvage column looking so neat ?

[beasegal]

What do you recommend on how to “tie off” the first stitch? Does it get knotted after the rows are completed? For my pattern...my first sweater neckband, I need to knit 3 rows for a garter stitch. Thanks.

[erroniousmcleese]

This is super helpful, but my edge does not look like yours, is that because my project is garter?

[anastasiapavitch]

Thank you! If you would, please explain why you skip the fourth? I did not fully understand that. Is that a given with patterns?
