![How to REALLY pick up stitches [10 hands-on techniques for all projects]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/KxiGE67_f0Y/mqdefault.jpg)
Some people can teach and some can't - you are a GREAT teacher! Perfect explanation- thank you sooooo much!
I am in the process of making my very first cardigan and will be watching this on repeat so that hopefully my neckline will look half as good as that!! 🥴 I love your tutorials thank you so much for taking the time to make them!!!
Thank you for this explanation. No one explains these details as perfectly as you do. Your videos are perfectly clear and easy to follow. I certainly appreciate you sharing your knowledge with all of us. Rachel S.
Thank you, Rachel, I appreciate your kind words!
One of the best tutorials I've viewed. Your instructions are so clear and your camera technique makes it so easy to see and follow. Thank you for making these!
You are very welcome dlheavrin! Happy knitting.
I refer back to your videos every time I'm working on a sweater. My eyes have a hard time distinguishing stitches when it's time to pick up and knit. I made my very first cardigan with a button band thanks to you.
Wonderful Kathryn Sink! Happy Knitting.
I'm a self taught knitter who's only come to knitting in later life with the advent of grandchildren. This video is absolutely brilliant. It's so detailed and has enabled me to pick up and knit the stitches for a collar, making a join that's all but invisible. Something I can be proud of. The only downside now is that I want to go back and redo all previous pieces! Thank you so much.
Kate, I feel your joy and your pain, that happened to me too, when I started learning to refine my knitting skills. Happy knitting.
Me too ❤❤
Thank you! Your instructions are so clear.
Hi Suzanne, I am so glad that I watched your video. I finished a sweater and was read to pick up and knit the neckline in a 1x1 rib. Your video was very clear and I didn't have any trouble with picking up the right stitches. Thank you so much. Your instructions are outstanding.
My grandmother taught me to knit and she passed away after years ago. No one ever taught me to pick up stitches properly. Thank you so much for this video!
You are welcome. Thank goodness from grandmothers.
I'm so grateful I found you. I do knitting very rarely because I'm afraid I will come out with very difficult stitches. Today I went with three youtube knitters and was unable to get stitch. Watched you for a second and wow!!!! Right away my brain lighted up. Got it on first try. Thank. From now on only one person; YOU. I"LL BE KNITTING MUCH MORE. THANK YOU.....BLESSINGS.
Wonderful!
You have a great knack for conveying instructions and the tone of your voice is reassuring throughout the video. Very easy to listen to and follow your advice. Thanks so much.
Thank you kindly!
This is fabulous! I have picked up stitches incorrectly for years and been so disAppointed in my garment. You have a great teaching style!
Thank you! Happy knitting.
Thank you Very much... your tuts are most helpful and easy to remember because you take the time to explain each step as well as guiding on the Do's and Dont's... This is a 5 Star Quality video tutorial ☆☆☆☆☆
Thank you! Happy knitting.
This is amazing! ❤️ Thank you so much for recording this video and sharing your knowledge. 🙌🏼🎉
You're so welcome!
You are the SUPERSTAR among the expert knitter, clearly explained and illustrated. Thanks for sharing your expertise. 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you!
You are the best! I’ve learned so much from your clear and informative videos. Whenever I have a knitting question or problem I search for your videos first! Thank you!!
Hello from România! Thankyou sooo much for helping me learn how to knit. Since i discovered your tutorials, i keep returning to them every time i start a new project. You are a brilliant teacher! Bless you!
Iona, thank you so much, your kind words are really appreciated!
Bravo. Saving this video to review every time I have to pick up (oops! pick up and knit) stitches.
Thank you! Happy Knitting!
I always look for your video's on what I need to brush up on and am amazed at how easy you are to watch and learn from. It is much appreciated
Wendy, you are so welcome! I appreciate your kind words!
This is SO helpful!!! I have always been spooked by this phase of sweater-making, and have avoided making sweaters because of it.... No longer!!! I am about to wet-block sweater pieces according to your instructions in a different tutorial, and feel confident about having a good experience with picking up stitches around the neckline - thanks much!!!
I'm so glad! Be sure to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already, happy knitting.
As always, Suzanne, you are a lifesaver! I hate the frustration that comes without knowing why stuff happens wrong and how to make it right...this way I get it right the first time!!! THANKS!
Excellent instructions. Good voice of yarn and colour to instruct with, it’s very pleasing to the eye and easy to decipher exactly what you are doing.
Love the clarity of your teaching on this subject! I have put off finishing two sweaters because it looked bad and I had to rip it out twice already. Now I am ready to try again with this new knowledge. Thank you
You can do it!
I am a self taught knitter. No one I know knits. I have been knitting since a young girl, but I have not knit a sweater! Kind of scared. I have a sweaters quantity waiting. I am watching your tutorials learning a lot, thank you.
Me too, I am also a self taught knitter, plus going through the TKGA (The Knitting Guild Association) Master Hand Knitting Program. You will get there. Knitting sweaters that fit is the ultimate gift to yourself. Happy knitting.
Brilliant...I love learning and I've been knitting for over 40 yrs...always something new to learn!
Thank you so much, Marsy! I love learning too and agree that there is always something new to learn, even after 40 years (or more)! ❤️
Thanks for clarifying this for me, in order to properly pick up stitches for sleeves, etc!! Great video & instructions!!
You are very welcome. Thank you very much. Watch for my upcoming videos on set in sleeves, creating the armscye and sleepcap. Happy knitting.
This is the best video I have seen for picking up stitches on a neckband. I love it. I am a self taught knitter (starting at age 41) and a perfectionist, so I really struggle with things like this (and shoulder seaming). I go to a local knitting store once a week for help with my knitting. When I ask the store owner about a different technique for something, such as shoulder seams without the stair step, or left leaning and right leaning decreases, she says "you've been watching youtube videos again haven't you?" I haven't been able to go to her store for 4 weeks because NSW went into total lockdown. I am so glad I found this video. I have been struggling with how to finish off a jumper for my grandson for nearly 4 weeks. The store owner told me how to knit up stitches, but the way she told me, I just didn't get it. I finished my first jumper in May this year and she very kindly sewed it up for me in the end because I was so frustrated I was ready to give up knitting for good, and she also knew how important that jumper was to me, because it was for my grandson. This video will also help me finish off a cardigan I knitted for my grandson almost a year ago.
I love this story Christine, thank you for sharing. I will give you a little hint. I have tons of videos that you would like on finishing and other jumper construction details. All you have to do is do a search for the technique you are looking for and add my name. Like - Mattress stitch suzanne bryan. And it will pop up for you. Happy knitting. If we lived closer, I would certainly help you.
Another great tutorial! I'm working on a sweater at the moment and your videos are so helpful for me. Thank you very much!
Great! Perfect timing. Happy knitting.
After 61 years of knitting, I am STILL learning. Thanks, Suzanne!
Happy Knitting.
Hi Suzanne, decided at the last minute to check out this video again, just to be sure, as I started the neckband on a sweater. Glad I did! Thanks for making the best technique videos ever!!
Thank you Suzanne! You are a wonderful teacher!! And I have learned so much about fixing things I didn't know how to handle.
You are so welcome, T!
You are the best teacher I have found in thousands of videos I have watched. You explain everything so well! Your videos are so clear and helpful! OMG! I am so happy I found you! I already subscribed of course. Thank you so much for taking your time to teach with such a patience. ❤
Happy Knitting.
Really clear explanation. I’ve been scared to ad lib picking up stitches, but will be following your approach from now on. No more holes!
Vero useful! I never used a gauge for this and i will from now on! Thank you Susanne!!!
I always learn so much from you, Suzanne! Thank you so much. 😊
I'm probably not quite ready for this but, thank goodness for UA-cam. I will be ready sooner because of you. Thanks for posting.
Yay! You will get there. Happy knitting.
Brand new knitter here, and this tutorial was *so* helpful. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
I want to get into knitting to knit my boyfriend a sweater and socks for Christmas, I've never been so excited to learn about something! Im only 18 but i love crafts, self made clothes, etc. You've made it so easy and wonderful to learn. Btw i take several pages of notes on your instructions and techniques!😊
Wonderful, Arianna, I'm so happy to hear that my videos are helping! You should also check out my Facebook page (same name), it's filled with supportive knitters at every level and we love to help beginners! ❤️
Thank you! You are a great teacher! I have learned a lot since I found your site.
Wonderful! Keep up with me and you will learn more and more! I love to teach, almost as much as I love to knit! Happy knitting.
I can't thank you enough for your clear, concise teaching videos. I don't always comment on each one, but I do give the "thumbs up". I always learn so much. I have picked up the bound off edge and wondered why those stitches ended up between the column.
Excellent. Thank you so much! Happy Knitting!
K3, bind off next 6 stitches in knit. Knit across leaves me with 3 sts each side unworked for second side; turn, then rows 2 to 8 knit 3. I'm having a problem when I get to turn.
Can anyone out there help me..thanks. I will appreciate your help
Thank you so much. I learned a lot...how to pick them up properly, and I've been knitting for years. Thank you again.
Thank you!!. I had been picking up neckline stitches using the cast off stitches!!!
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to finish my grandsons' sweaters.
Wonderful!🧶
Thank you... you do such a good explanation with great patience. I appreciate your videos so much. Have found you while I've been working on a cardigan for my great grandchild... first time making a cardigan--you have been very helpful and we're all pretty appreciative as I read the comments! Blessings.
Chava, thank you so much for the lovely feedback, your kind words really make my heart smile!! ❤️
Even if I don't know English, finally a well explained and easy to understand video thanks from Italy
Glad to hear that!
Oh my, I have been knitting for many years and never knew that I was picking up between stitches. Thanks for this extremely helpful tutorial.
Ah, the dreaded elevens. You may also like this video - seaming stitches to rows - ua-cam.com/video/wMbKET673VQ/v-deo.html. Thanks for commenting. Be sure to subscribe to my channel and happy knitting.
Absolutely perfect 👌🏽
You’re a natural at teaching 💓
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video! I'm picking up stitches for my first sweater neck, and learned where and how to pick up stitches by watching your video. My stitches for the flat part are totally invisible, like you said they would be, and your advice about calculating the number of stitches around the curve and along the edge of the rows was spot-on. Now I have a beautiful neckline and it's all thanks to you! So, thank you, thank you, thank you! (I'll be back to learn how to pick up the arm stitches next!)
Yay, I love hearing that my videos are helpful, Kelley! You are very welcome! ❤️
Brilliant. I learned so much from this. So many gems in your videos. Thank you so much! ❤
You are very welcome, Caro! I appreciate your kind feedback! ❤️
I have sent a week trying to get the neck of a cardigan to look right. so many thanks for this video : -) it's so easy for a new knitter to understand x
That is perfect Julie-Dawn Smith. Happy knitting.

Thank you so much for showing me how 'not' to have holes around my neck line, and also letting me know how to work out how many stitches to pick up, which may not necessarily be what the patter states. You are awesome.
Thank you Rita Wadick! Happy knitting.
I've learned a lot from you Suzanne. I'm a self-taught knitter and appreciate all your videos!!! Often the patterns don't say anything about the little tricks that you teach to make things perfect!
You are so welcome, Melanie! I love that you're teaching yourself, way to go. If you haven't already, I hope you join my Facebook group (same name), it is filled with supportive knitters of every level and we love helping! ❤️
Again another perfect video. I have just blocked my pieces before I start the neck and this video is great and I am going to follow it step by step to get a perfect neck. You are a genius and so clear everything makes sense. Thank god I found you. 👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow, what a lovely thing to say, Pat, thank you!! 🥰 Thanks so much for watching and commenting on my videos!
Beautiful demonstration
once again Suzanne. I'm about to add ribbing to a top down sweater that didn't have a ribbed neckline but I think needs one. Thanks for your video.
Thank u s much. I was about to pick up and knit without blocking, so I will do just that before proceeding.
Great, it makes a huge difference. Happy knitting.
I a about to embark on a new pickup and knit project and I am looking all over to see which instructor does it the way I need to get it done and I love your instructions,thanks a lot I am feeling confident right now.
You can do it!
Great video just what I was looking for. Loved that your explanations explained why you were doing what you were doing with the right amount of information not too little or too much for a beginner like me.
I'm so happy to hear that my video was helpful, Kaila! Please check out my Facebook page (same name), it's filled with knitters of every level and we love to help new knitters! ❤️
Thank you Suzanne! I learn so much with your videos
I'm so glad, Gabriela, and you are very welcome!
Wonderfully done, as always!
Thank you Patsy Starks! Happy knitting.
just reached the neck band of a sweater for my granddaughter and having difficulty with picking up stitches but will try this out now thank you
Great, let me know how it works for you. Happy knitting.
Thank you for this tutorial and all others. Clean and simple directions.
Thanks for watching!
This us exactly what I needed. Truly exquisite explanation. Thank you a million❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great instructions. It is always a little worrisome to pick up stitches for collars and/or button bands hoping they fit well. Thank you for the video.
I agree. It does save time and angst if you just take a little time and figure out the ratios first. You will be do less ripping out and your knitting will look better for it. Happy knitting.
You are an amazing teacher. Your techniques are solid and carefully delivered.
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you for such great detail and explanation. I am designing a lace tank for my niece's flower girls and am learning as I go along! Hoping I didn't place some of my YOs too close to the edge. (I suspect I have - but it's lace, so hopefully all will turn out well!)
Enjoy!
Subbed and liked. Thank you so much, great tutorial. Very clearly explained too. You have been a great help xx
Happy Knitting!
So very helpful ,Thankyou so much ,I have learned an enormous amount from you ,though am unable to knit in wool it’s not within budget ,but will when I am adept enough to knit presents for my family
Glad it was helpful! 🧶
Thanks for sharing so much detail. Making a sweater for my grandson after many years away from knitting. I appreciate the information!
You are so welcome! Fun! 🧶
@@SuzanneBryan the sweet gal at our local knitting shop is going to check the stitches I picked up on the neckband! Shout out to Amanda at @gatecityyarns 🥰🥰. I hope mine looks perfect like yours Suzanne!
🧶
Thank you so much for this clear and great video! Amazing 🙂 Greetings form Germany!
Thank you for this helpful video it was filmed perfectly and is easy to follow.
Great to hear!
Brilliant work and perfect tutorial much love and many thanks🙏💕
Thank you Meka, Happy Knitting!
I don't know how I picked up stitches before 🙈 sticking my needle under the bar between stitches and knit a stitch, for sure very difficult 🙈 Thank you for showing the right way! 👌💐
You are so welcome, Anne-Marie! I appreciate your thoughtful feedback! ❤️
Thank you for this helpful video!
I found this very useful and love how my neck rib rises seemingly seamlessly out from the neckline.
I'm so glad to hear this, Emmy! 😊
Hi Suzanne and Family. MIDNIGHT IN FRANCE. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019. LOVE, ADORE, ADMIRE YOU and VALUE your videos. You are truly amazing and blest to TEACH. Ladders and steps have been my nightmare, never had a pretty finish to shoulders and necklines. bulky big onions. who cared, no one could see!!! Now I realize my horrible mistake. I have to remember that the needle has to go IN THE MIDDLE of the stitch and under the cast off stitch. I'm so grateful to you for all these videos, wonderful for a dummy like me. I can never take my eyes of your videos, NOT ALWAYS. My young kitty decided, just at that crucial moment when I'm in the deepest concentration, to walk on the keybaord!! well, i'm taken to another video with no interest. So I have to re-start your video. Thanks for sharing and caring. Hugs from your addicted fan.
Thank you so much! Happy New Year and Happy Knitting!
Thanks for your clear instruction. Really appreciated!
You are welcome!
New sub here and I am so glad to learn about the technique that makes perfect sense. Thank you.
Wonderful, May, I'm so happy to hear this! 😊
This has been extremely helpful; thank you!!
Wonderful Marie H! Happy Knitting.
That was so helpful.. Thanks.. Your work is so perfect!
... also would like to know if the knitting works should or should not be ironed.. at times with ironing, I find it easier at the joining stages or to straighten out folded picot edgings or to straighten out botton-hole strips etc.. but am left wondering if that makes the works too flat or even disfiguered
Thank you. I myself haven' t been knitting very long. My husbands grandmother made gorgeous Icelandic sweaters. His mom gave me one that was started by his grandma but never finished before she passed. Really wanted to finish it for her the MIL for Christmas. The only thing left is the neck. Your video has made me feel confident that I can do this!
What a lovely idea to finish grandmother's sweater for your MIL, I'm sure she'll be thrilled!! If you're interested, I have a Facebook page (same name), filled with warm and supportive knitters of every level and we just love helping new knitters.
@@SuzanneBryan That sounds lovely!!! I so appreciate the invite.....but I don't do Facebook.😢
Best tutorial! ❤
As always CONGRATS. Fantastic video. So well explained and in detail. Zooming was perfect. I spend my time watching and appreciating your videos and admiring your CALM VOICE, such a pleasure to listen to. Let me be honest, I picked up stitches all wrong throughout my "knittinghood". Now I realize why the band was ugly and bulky. It makes me giggle now. It's time to repair my mistakes and start with a swatch using 2 colors of yarn as shown in your video. Wish I didn't live so far from you 🗼🚀 Suzanne I LOVE every video of yours. They are short easy to understand and made for all ages. You truly are gifted, exceptional and a blessing to me. Thanks a million for sharing and caring. 👍👍👍🧚♂️💕 hugs n kisses. Your fan.
Yes, proper finishing makes all the difference. No matter how wonderful your knitting is, the final little details can doom your project if not worked properly. Happy knitting.
Your instruction is very clear and makes sense. It helps a lot. Thank you very much. I'll join your FB group.
Wonderful! Hugs and Happy Knitting.
Thank you, I enjoyed how you explained it all!
