I am over 80 years old & have been knitting for most of those years - your Distitch Selvedge is the very best at achieving a clean, neat edge of any method I have ever used - Thank you
Thank you very much! Yes, you are right, it is new type of stitches, in fact it is a new principle of knitting which I developed 10 years ago, called Distitch. I wrote a book about it, see other videos on my channel.
I just finished a cardigan with garter stitch button bands. I used this stitch and it makes the best selvedge edge I’ve ever seen. And, it’s so easy to do! I will say that it is important not to tighten the first slipped stitch of each row. I am so impressed that I just ordered her book from Amazon.
Thank you for the complements! I invented Distitch in 2012, wrote a book about and published in 2019. Some techniques from the book (a few Distitch selvedges) I published for free for everyone to enjoy! It was 3 years ago, therefore you couldn't see it before :))) Please visit my website for more new inventions assiabrill.com/
Vielen Dank! Ich freue mich, dass Ihnen meine Erfindung und meine Präsentation gefallen. I'm glad you like my invention and my presentation. Thank you!
This is genius! I’m starting a baby blanket and I’m going to try this selvage edge. It starts out like a M1. I learned the stirs her in the needle is the mother, the stitch below ( pervious stitch) is the grandmother and the stitch below that ( pre-previous) is the great grandmother. All of these short videos produce beautiful edging, it was hard to decide which to use, but tried all of them. Thank you! And look forward to more videos!😁
Thank you! Glad you like Distitch selvedges. The "generations" terminology is a good way to understand the position of the stitches in the rows: daughter/mother/grandmother/great grandmother... :)) Please note, that these Slip stitch selvedges are applicable for the vertically compressed stitch patterns (Garter, Brioche) when used on their straight vertical edges. But they are not suitable for the diagonal edges when there are decreases or increases on the edge.
Merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo et votre générosité de nous avoir partagé votre savoir faire. Quelle belle bordure !!! Je vous félicite pour votre travail et un grand BRAVO 🇫🇷👍🙏👏❤️

Assia, Hi. I am going to start a mesh stitch pattern from a channel called Crazy Hands Knitting here on You Tube. You mentioned garter stitch with ds patterns for edging but which one would be appropriate for other non garter stitch patterns as in a mesh pattern? Also thank you so much for what you have brought to all of us.
Dear Susanne! I'm glad you like Distitch. Slip DS selvedge is suitable only for the vertically compressed stitch patterns (garter, brioche and similar). For others, stockinette based patterns (seed stitch, mesh and so on), Simple Distitch should be used. Please watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/q1ok5t01IW0/v-deo.html Tutorials are in the book.
Thank you! My perfect nails were made by a very good master manicurist in salon in my home town of Kazan, it is gel nail vanish, unfortunately I don't know the name of the brand.
I just saved this video, the edge looks beautiful and so polished and the yarn has such a sheen- can you please tell me what yarn that is? Thank you! 🤗💗🕊️🌷
Different ways of slipping the first stitch at the beginning of the row give open or closed chains of stitches on the edge. Two rings cowl at the start of this video has both variations. The closed chain (light blue) consists of twisted stitches and is narrower and tighter, looks more like a "Y". At the start of the 2.2 video you can see the open one, which is wider and much looser (dark blue), looks like "V". When use it in your next project, try both to decide which is best for you.
Bonjour madame, Pour les augmentations vous faites comment svp ... je ne les vois pas? Merci d'avance et pour les explications pour mailles lisières. Belle journée ❤️
There are no increases: Distitch selvedge consists of one stitch only. To make a herringbone appearance, it is worked together with the same but previous stitch. Hope this helps, and thanks for you enquiry. Bon chance!
Hi! I’ve been using this stitch and I’m so glad I discovered it because it makes my baby blanket project look so clean and neat, thank you! What’s the best way to bind off for a garter stitch blanket using these edge stitches?
I'm very glad that you like Distitch and it's useful for your projects! Distitch bind-off will be the best way, if you would like the bind-off to match the DS edges. Please have a look at this scarf which is "framed" with Distitch: all its sides have DS cast-on, DS bind-off and DS selvedges: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/check-scarf This Check Scarf can be seen here starting from 2' 40": ua-cam.com/video/JhkcVrxZHv4/v-deo.html DS cast-on and DS bind-off are fully described in the book "Distitch: a New Knitting Concept". In the case if you don't have the book, you can try to work it out by using instructions for the Chain DS. Both, bind-off and cast-on, are based on it: ua-cam.com/video/FdaWRwIrJK4/v-deo.html
Thank you! The yarn is Cashmere merino silk Aran by Sublime: www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/sublime-yarns-cashmere-merino-silk-aran But the beauty of the Distitch selvedge is that it will work with any yarn!
Yes, for Distitch selvedge you need one extra stitch on each side of blanket (scarf). It need to be already included in the total number of sts during cast-on. Warning! Distitch Slip selvedge will work only for vertically compressed patterns, such as Garter, Brioche and variations. It will not work for Stockinette or simple Rib.
Thank you! Yes, Distitch selvedge can be done on the border of other stitch patterns too. Please read the beginning of the article: assiabrill.com/knitting-2/distitch/slip-ds-selvedge/ For 1x1 rib border use Simple DS selvedge, for Brioche rib - Slip DS selvedge. See also the samples of both in these videos: Slip DS: ua-cam.com/video/ZOn-JiS7Rbc/v-deo.html Simple DS: ua-cam.com/video/q1ok5t01IW0/v-deo.html
You are really great at finishing and making invisible and smart looking increases. Where can I get your book? Lena from PurlZknitting introduced you to me. I’m actually 1/2 done with my sofe scarf, and I’m tracking it out to make the edges better. I used an I cord but this is very pretty.
Thank you for your kind words! I-cord is a great choice as a selvedge for the garter stitch. In comparison with I-cord, Distitch slip selvedge is less tight and more elastic. Distitch book is printed and sold by Amazon worldwide, currently prices are reduced :). For example, here is USA and UK links: www.amazon.com/dp/1527239233 www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1527239233
This is The Rings Cowl design. The whole picture can be seen at 38'-42' in this video: ua-cam.com/video/UoJk0xJaIPc/v-deo.html The construction is very easy: two garter stitch rings, blue and light blue, connected.
Assia, your knitting is so beautiful and I especially love this selvedge style. However, I notice that it's always shown working with garter stitch. I tried this method working with stockinette and one side ends up perfect while the other side is tight. Is this just not suitable for stockinette?
Thank you Jagg! Please read the notes under the video. It explains why slip DS is used here. You can use it with other stitch patterns too: all kinds of Brioche knitting, with two coloured Double Knitting and others. I have three different slip DS selvedges for Brioche rib, find them among my videos, numbers 5, 6, 7. For the Stocking stitch and others similar stitch patterns I recommend to use simple Distitch selvedge, please see the samples in this video: ua-cam.com/video/q1ok5t01IW0/v-deo.html
Do you mean that you are working Garter stitch not by working knit sts but purl sts in every row? In this case the instructions are still the same as in video. If you mean that you want to work another stitch pattern, not Garter stitch but stockinette, for example. In this case you should not use this type of DS selvedge. Please read the notes under the video. It explains why slip DS is used here. You can use it with other stitch patterns too: all kinds of Brioche knitting, with two coloured Double Knitting and others. For the Stocking stitch and others similar stitch patterns I recommend to use simple DS selvedge, please see the samples in this video: ua-cam.com/video/q1ok5t01IW0/v-deo.html
Yes, absolutely! I worked a lot on this stitch pattern as well, and discovered that it works in the same way as for garter stitch. It is possible to have closed DS selvedge and an opened DS. Please experiment with different ways of slipping the first stitch. You can find the second type here: ua-cam.com/video/p-QwrUAH_38/v-deo.html
Yes, Distitch selvedges are working for different stitch patterns. Please watch demo videos “Distitch simple selvedges” and “Distitch slip selvedges”. Simple DS selvedges work for many patterns including stockinet, moss and alike. Slip DS selvedges work for the vertically compressed patterns such as garter stitch, Brioche, double knitting and alike. Please read short and informative article about DS selvedges on my website, see the text under the video here.
Yes, there are Distitch cast-on and Distitch bind-off, which are identical to Distitch selvedges! I knitted many projects using them all at once, I called it Distitch framing.

What's the difference between this and 2.2? I thank You So much for your help support and videos 😍🤩

Two rings cowl at the start of this video has both variations. The closed chain (light blue) consists of twisted stitches and is narrower and tighter, looks more like a "Y".

Неплохо,но край стягивает❤❤❤❤
Если вязать платочной вязкой по прямой, то край не получается стянутым. Смотрите многочисленные видео с готовыми шарфами. Если же вязать по диагонали - то будет стягивать.
