Eco knitting tips and tricks to accompany knitting patterns by Knit Eco Chic.
Stitch in Focus: Wrap and Turn
Concurrent with picking up a “no flip” method of knitting, a love of wrap and turns quickly developed. If you’re not turning your work, the “end” can easily happen anywhere along the row! Dubbed “Short Row Swings” because of the back and forth swinging motion, a bit of anticipation and exhilaration appears just like when you swing on the swing and it transitions from forward to backward and back again. In Turning Points, you’ll be crafting beautiful shawls as your stitches swing back and forth and only sometimes hit the actual end of the row. Check out the video below for a right side and wrong side demonstration of the wrap and turn with Stockinette. Watch through to the end for a sneak peek at the 5 designs you can craft with this technique and the Turning Points book!

If you're familiar with the central double decrease (cdd), then the central quadruple decrease (cqd) will be easy to conquer. This decrease kicks the cdd up a notch by decreasing 4 stitches rather than just 2 stitches. A little trick ensures the central stitch stays on top! Give it a try with Peacock Ridge available in Turning Points on the Knit Eco Chic website (coming August 2024).

My new favorite beading tool is definitely dental threader floss! Check out this video for how to add beads to a 2-st I-cord using this readily available tool hack. Two little inside tricks: - Alternate which stitch you bead so you get the little bit of shine and shimmer all the way around the I-cord. - Probably the only time I “bead down” is on a 2-st I-cord when it is the first stitch on the ...

Thank you! 🧶
Ooo I have to try this. I'm good with both hands! I think I did it this way with double knitting years ago.
Thanks for commenting :-). It really speeds up the brioche rows! For double knitting I've seen rings being used, I bet that would work here too if you like both strands in 1 finger. Happy brioche knitting :-).
Saved! I've got to learn how to do this as pulling has become an issue for my wrist/hand.
I'm sorry to hear that your regular method is causing issues for your wrist/ hand. I hope this technique proves ergonomically better! Thanks for saving and commenting :-)
I'm going to try this on a project. Tyvm Lindsey 😊❤
I can't wait untill I get to this level of knitting. ❤❤❤😘😘😘😘
Brioche is SO addictive - it took me a long time before I tried it, but am so glad I did! You will be, too ;-). It breaks down to a simple 2 st rhythm, work a st and slip the next st* repeat.
Thank you so much Lindsey. This will definitely come in handy this fall. Hugs my dear friend ❤❤
Thank you Lindsey 😊 ❤
This was so frustrating to watch. Three modifications that might make this video helpful to viewers: 1- show the process at an angle where the action is visible to viewers. It is helpful to see the work rather than hearing someone muttering while jostling the fabric away from the camera. 2- edit out the sniffles. 3- using an artificial light source to make make the grey yarn more visible against the overcast grey winter sky- or choosing a background that contrasts the yarn color.
thank you for your feedback
That’s pretty neat technique. It’s super cold out and that would be a nice chunky warm hat to wear.
Thank you.
Lovely work! It is so peaceful to watch you knit.
Thank you kindly! Knitting is very relaxing for me, too.
Oh WOW 🤩, thank you so much for showing us this wonderful tutorial 💜. Something now to add to my very long list. 💜🥰🧶
aw, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Ya for inspiring you to tackle more and more techniques! I can't wait to see what you create!
Oh so glad you are putting more tutorials here on the channel. I find it difficult to watch on IG. Love your tutorials and the fact you push me outside my comfort zone. After I finish the solar flare will be tackling either brioche or double knitting. Thank you Lindsey and God Bless you. Hugs
Oh, that is a nice idea. I never thought of that, I'll try this in my current project. Thanks for the video!
Super! Thanks :-).
@@knitecochicI did end up using it, and it looks so much nicer than the usual bind off and sew. It was a kid's sweater, so being able to avoid the extra bulk was especially nice. Thanks again, I'll sure use this technique in other projects, too.
Wonderful! @@happycamper9191
Thank you Lindsey ❤😊
You're welcome! Giving it a try since it was longer than the 90 second limit on the other platform. Thanks for watching!
PS looks like I've missed a lot from you lately! (yes, notifications are on, but I didn't get any.) Going to catch up with some knitting in hand ;-).
Great video. Very helpful! Thank you.
Love these stitch tutorials you do! I was pretty sure I knew how to work this, but being able to watch the video and make sure I was working this right was great
What a neat technique! The contrast cables look fabulous!
Thanks! This is an OLDIE for sure and the syntax has come a long way :-).
Impressive!
Watching just because 😁. I love the tutorials for some of the more interesting techniques! And they're interesting to watch even if I don't need them right now
Thank you for this tutorial Lindsey. I'm doing the Dive top and it has these cables. Can I use the no cable needle technique on this design? Thank you and Bless you for all you do. Hugs and prayers 🙏 ❤️
Yes - a cable needle is optional on Dive as well. I'm glad the tutorial was helpful. Thank you and God bless you too :-).
Did you pick up stitches from the underarm or shoulder seam, for the set up row?
Thanks for the question, AD. The answer is on page 5 in the paragraph immediately before "Do not join in the round". Happy knitting!
Don't even need to know how to do this (yet! I'd like to knit terrain eventually!) But it was still super interesting and helpful!
The adventures to be had with shaping stitches in brioche... if you thought brioche was addictive, just wait until you try decreasing and increasing!
Super helpful! I should have watched this right off the bat before I started 😂. Don't worry about the wonky left hand stranding - that's how my right hand stranding is 😂
If you are anything like me, it will get better as you practice more. I can't wait to see your project! I'm so glad the tutorial was helpful :-).
Thank you 🤗
Have to try brioche one of theses days. You make it look easy 🥰
This is beautiful, but it'd be easier to see what you're doing if your left thumb wasn't covering your knitting. The explanations are great, though- thank you!
Thanks, I'm glad the explanations helped. I'm working on how I hold my knitting so my thumb doesn't hide it ;-). Always learning!
How about a video that shows the basics? I'd like to know how to tell from the chart I'm looking at how to tell which blocks are the actual cable. I get the intarsia concept in general, but I have trouble using it with a cable chart. Nobody on UA-cam seems to cover this. I'd like more detail in simpler terms.
The lighting needs to be focused on the work, ESPECIALLY when you're knitting in a small gauge in an instruction video. You make no effort to show the viewer where they should be picking up the stitches (bars) along the cast-on edge, and with such poor lighting, it's very difficult for the viewer to see enough stitch definition in your work to know where you are actually picking up the edge. Your intonation and speed are good, but without proper lighting and explanation, all this video does is make me want to search for a different video to watch someone else explain this technique. If you're going to make an instruction video, it needs to be done to facilitate the viewer. Otherwise, why are you doing it? There is nothing in this video that would prompt me to like and subscribe, unfortunately.
Thanks so much for the feedback. Early videos are not always the quality I would like. Thankfully there are lots of free content on You Tube, I'm sure you'll find one that you like.
I don't know why I had the impression that i-cord was a pain. It's seems easy enough, just tedious to make something long. Nice video!
Yes, I-cords are an easy knit... mine became so long as it was my go to project when Puddles was sick. Easily tossed aside as needed and less brain power required than when following a complex pattern. If you love the look, I'll let you in on a secret, they have "tool" where you crank or hold a button and it makes the I-cord for you ;-). Thanks for commenting :-).
That is a whole lotta I cord! Great job.
In a few weeks you'll get to see what that mega I-cord became! (Hint: it's a winter accessory)
Thanks!
You do not have to do so many repeats, just say do the same thing to the end, the end.
Thanks for the feedback, Doreen. I hope you enjoy the technique!
I could not make it until I saw your video,thanks alot
That is fantastic to see Lindsay, and I really get now how it can save time and frustration. Thank you for showing me and us at Knitterarium how it's done. Your tension is so even!
Thank you!
Good and fast and easy demonstration of sskpo. Thx a lot.
You're welcome. Happy knitting!
