Knitting Help - Slow Motion Mattress Stitch

Mattress stitch is the best all-purpose seam used in knitting. Here we slow the technique down for very visual learners.

You can see my regular speed mattress stitch video here:

You can see my other slow-motion videos here:

The yarn I use for demonstration is Paintbox Yarns Wool Mix Chunky.
The scarf on the mannequin (not my design) can be found here:

Wow, slow motion. You definitely are responding to a need for the visual learner! I didn't have to pause and restart the video numerous times. Thank you so much!

[marymann]

I always know where to go for concise, well-demonstrated techniques. Thank you, Staci!!

As a visual learner, I really appreciate the slow-motion to demonstrate how to do the mattress stitch. It's very helpful.

You look like Elizabeth Moss. Your voice is so soothing. Your tutorials are the only ones that help me! Thank you.

I'm really grateful for the slow motion vidoes, I'm old now and only learned the basics of knitting when I was a child (seriously a child!), so your videos are helpful to me and I appreciate them.

Thank you so much :) you are a great teacher. You have taught me a lot about knitting. Just a side note for the viewers: If you click that little "settings sprocket" on the bottom right in your videos you can select a slower speed to watch back the videos here on YouTube, its helped me a lot in other tutorial videos where I needed to see something in a slower motion. Happy Knitting All!
