Helical Knitting Tutorial with 3+ skeins (Easiest Way to Alternate Skeins in the Round!)
Переглядів 23 тис.3 роки тому
In this video we will discuss helical knitting! Helical knitting is (in my opinion) the easiest way to alternate skeins when working with hand-dyed yarn, yarn from different dye lots, or simply a pattern with a single row stripe. In this video we talk about: 1) Why you should alternate skeins when working with hand-dyed yarn - 0:00 2) how to DO helical knitting (including starting and finishing...

Latvian Braid Knit Flat - Left and Right | Knitting Tutorial
Переглядів 21 тис.3 роки тому
In this video I teach you how to knit a Latvian Braid flat, both a left and right pointing braids. I also demonstrate slipping the first stitch of the row, in case your pattern calls for that. Here is a link to my previous video where I demonstrated this technique but with the left braid only. I also go into more detail about the differences between knitting these braids flat vs in the round: u...

Correction time! In the video, I said you would need 5 skeins of Dreamliner for the largest sizes. Since recording this, I updated the yardage requirements, and the largest sizes go up to 6 skeins.

This pattern is way easier than it looks - a few simple design elements come together to make something eleg...

Knitting a Latvian Braid Flat
Переглядів 9 тис.5 років тому
A video tutorial for knitting a Latvian Braid flat! This is a little different from knitting a Latvian Braid in the round. Photo Tutorial is available at my blog: riverroadknits.com/blog/index.php/2019/08/05/latvian-braid-worked-flat/
I must have watched 5 or 6 Latvian braid tutorials, often watching in slow motion and knitting along with the screen. I am quite an experienced knitter, but your video was the only one that enabled me to make the braid correctly. I really appreciate your excellent instructions. Now hopefully I can take this from my practice swatches onto the pattern where I really need the braid! I'm sure with the help of your video, I will be able to accomplish it.
Great video! Helpful to me as your explanation was simple and easy to understand!
Really excellent! Many thanks for solving mystery of disappearing stitches!
Thank you for demonstrating how helical knitting can solve the dreaded pooling problem! That one tidbit opens up a whole new world of knitting possibilities for me.
This is a great video. Thank you! Ive had a problem with a solid yarn that pooled (same dye lot) but I used the helix method and it was so easy! I’m going to do a scrap sweater with this method and can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Too much talk
Thank you. I am ready to tackle this stitch
I really like the way you explain this process. Thanks much!
You use the Portuguese purling technique.
Thank you for your expert demonstration
thank you!
Excellent demo!
Thanks
I won a prize on Ravelry during Sock Madness, and the prize was a pattern of my choice. I choose Dark Academia. Bought my yarn for it 2 days ago (Isager Tvinni) and will cake it up in the coming days, so I'm ready to start knitting this beautiful sweater for NaKniSweMo (knitting a sweater with at least 50.000 sts during the month of november). Really looking forward to it! Thank you for this beautiful pattern and this video!
I had my volume all the way up and still couldn't hear you well.
how many stitches do you lose per pleat?
You lose 2x the number of stitches that the pleat is wide. So for an 8 stitch wide pleat, you will lose 16 stitches.
@@riverroadknits4125 omgg thank you!!! i came back to this video ready to tackle the box pleats and this is really helpful.
Actually, your "wonky" style looks alot like portuguese knitting. I'd love more in depth info for beginners, like how to place the yarn etc.
Thank you so much! It helped me.
Definitely not the easiest ... too many slipped stitches and too much thinking ... Purl Soho has a video entitled "Helix Knitting Tutorial" ... it is a much easier and fool proof way to helix knit with 3 or more different yarns.

You are an artist and so kind. Thank you very much. Love from Lisbon 🥰
This is extremely helpful. I've been looking for more cardi patterns, and yours is great for many reasons - not least of which is that you provide all this information, modification tips and support. I'm definitely purchasing the pattern. Thank you for considering the curvier makers out here!
Amazing! Magic!
This is outstanding. I’m about to start a multicolored stranded shawl and I really need to step up my yarn-handling skills, you’ve taught me how to do that very elegantly! 🎉
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I learned how to basic helical knitting last summer, but I didn't want to start the colors at 4 different points on my already started, top-down sweater. ^^; (Two colors, two rows each) I've been wracking my brain to figure out how to do it for the past few days, but your method and explanation was exactly what I needed. And I was determined to avoid the tension problems at the beginning of round. Thank you so much! <3
You definitely struck the gothic, architectural, Notre Dame feel. I love it!
Hi Elizabeth I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹
Thanks so much, it helped a lot!
06:00 so you used 3 skeins of yarn for the entire sweater? Or just for the body? Did you use fingering weight yarn? How much does that sweater weigh? Sorry for the spam questions, Im just so curious 😄
you are going too fast ....
Finally I understand it. This is just the best video about this!!!!!!! Thank you so much. You ‘saved’ my sweater :)
having seen this - definitely going to buy. thank you.
It has been far too many years since l've done flat fair isle, your video is just the refresher course l needed. You do a great job of being clear and concise. Thank you for your work making things easier for the rest of us.

Just put this pattern in my cart on Rav! Will post photos whenever I get it done. This just might be my winter break, sit with my tea and knit project!! Love the colorwork pattern and the all-over application.

8:14 the word you are looking for is contrast or the contrast value 👍
The pattern name also reminds me of The Discovery of Witches trilogy! When I get more confident it my stranded color work, I'll cast on for this!
Excellent information and amazing design! Gorgeous Sweater🧶💕
I really appreciate your video on knitting a FLAT, Latvian Braid. I also spent a lot of time searching for the flat technique, with both left and right braids. So this is video is welcomed.
Thank you! Very helpful and informative and presented in a very understandable way!

Thank you so much for sharing! Exactely what I needed for my project 🌞👍
This was my first time looking at any of your videos. And wow. You are very thoughtful, to put this super informative video up! What a beautiful garment, what an excellent video, I really wish more designers would do this! Bravo, and well done, and many many thanks for your thoughtfulness and professionalism!
I love this, and I love the cardigan! Thank you for making a video describing how the pattern came to be and the specs. Super helpful!
Thanks for all these tips. I learnt about Helix knitting in the last week. Since then, I've knitted 4 Beanie hats with the Helix method, using 2 strands of wool. One is the main colour and the 2nd is variegated. It makes for a great looking hat. I'll be trying the 3 strand method soon. Thanks once again for your tips and greetings from England 😁🧶🪡
Thank you! I found only tutorials for these fishbone braids in the round, but couldn't figure out, how to make them flat.
I am getting a hole where the three skip stitches are as I go up. What can I do, or what am I doing wrong.
Thanks very much for this tutorial! I did a Latvian braid in the round once, a decade ago, without a video and I wouldn't be able to figure it out like that anymore for doing it flat. This is a lifesaver, and you're right: tutorials are usually for braids in the round! Really appreciate it! I'm going to knit a few Latvian braids instead of welts on my Penguono cardigan now.
Great, I am so glad it was helpful to you! :)
Thanks. Simple instructions with extra tips after we've learnt the basics.
This was very helpful. Thank you.
For those who want to know the 'how' and not the 'why', the technique starts just before 9 minutes in - helpfully marked, though. Really well explained - thank you for this!
Thank You for make this video I found it Very Helpful!!!
