This was super helpful and very easy to follow!
how is this helpful? all she does is talk about it, she doesn’t show you HOW to do it :/
thank you ive been trying to figure this out for the last 3 days
what video shows how to stop the rolling effect?
You are my absolute FAVORITE knitting instructor. Your directions are clear, and your work can be easily seen.
gah! is there anyway to make it not roll up? x
I just started knitting, so I’m definitely a beginner—but you made this rather easy to follow! Thank you!
thanks! nice to hear a fellow aussie on u tube!!!
Thanks so much! That was so helpful, I can never remember which side should be facing me for which stitch!
I can’t seem to purl right. when I try to do the stocking stitch it looks like the garter
When I turn up the volume, the background noise in your video sounds like a purring cat lol. Thanks for this helpful video!
Jeeze you knit quickly.
That’s the stitching I use! However, I’ve noticed in your videos I’ve seen the way you hold the yarn in your right hand, as I only loop it around the first finger, I’ve never been taught the way to loop it around the other fingers. Would you happen to have a video that shows you how to hold the yarn that way?
lol , the fingers are really hard ! T^T
i just managed to make ugly fingers tho .
Lol thays funny. I made one but I can’t get te fingers right. Time to ask grandma again!
haha yeah . but i`m finished already . i made two . ^-^
thanx 4 makin a great vid!! it helped me loads u explained it very clear thanx!!!!
Are you making the little big planet sackboy? Cause I have run in to the same problem
umm can u answer this? okay im making this thing and it tells me to stocking stitch 2 rows. does tht mean 1 knit 1 purl or 1knit 1purl 1 knit 1 purl?
To make a flat piece of fabric which has both sides smooth, you need to use a technique called ‘double knitting’. It involves using two strands of yarn at the same time. If you search for double knitting, I’m sure you can find a good video on it. Good luck! Elsteffo
Elsteffo, how do you make both sides of the stockinette stick smooth?? I want both sides to look the same…Thanks
wow thank you so much. im just learning more complicated stitches and this has helped me immensely. and everyone is right. you move so quick! Thanks again!
This video is more a demonstration and explanation of stocking stitch itself, rather than the individual stitches. If you’d like to see a slower video of the knit stitch, watch my video ‘How to Knit Basics – The Knit Stitch and Garter Stitch’. If you’d like to see a video about the purl stitch, watch my video ‘How to Knit Basics – The Purl Stitch’. Have fun with your knitting! Elsteffo
Very helpful, but also very fast. Almost to fast to really see what you were doing.
