Even if I am not sure I will make a project, I always watch your videos because I always learn something helpful. Thanks so much!
Verypink is my first stop when I need any type of tutorial. Staci has SO many techniques-all clearly presented & ready to enhance my knitting!
Watching you knit is like watching a frog snap up a fly - like, “what just happened?!?” Thank you for sharing this awesome technique and pattern, and for really spelling it out for us!
Thank you, Staci! When I saw this tutorial posted I thought, "Yeah right! I'll never get to Fair Isle!" But this pattern was deceptive, like you said. Thank you, Mari Chiba, for helping us knitters look good! :)
I LOVE Mosaic knitting...the look of complicated stranded colourwork, with much less effort! I have made a couple of pairs of socks using this technique and my sister made an awesome jumper for my brother. I'm hoping as this technique becomes more popular, more people will design patterns that use it.
Hi Staci! Yet another awesome tutorial ! And thank you very much for sharing such helpful 'tricks' that make a big difference. You encourage me and inspire me and I thank you for re-igniting my love of knitting!
Thank you so much Staci! I was intimidated by mosaic knitting, but not any more! i have downloaded the Tesserino Cowl and it will definitely be my first mosaic project.
watching your videos, I learned the kitchener stich, entrelac, and ten stich blanket. Your explanation of the stiches makes it very easy to understand. thanks
This was a very helpful, straight-forward tutorial. Your instructions are simple and clear! I'm working a slip stitch hat pattern and needed some pointers on slip stitch - your video answered all my questions!
Lifeline!!! Wow! What incredible brilliance!
I just love love your channel and finding fun patterns that I would otherwise not attempt. You’re so helpful and delightful. Thank you for another great video :)
Another beautiful knitted cowl. Love this pattren.......thanks stacy. Love the yarn colors.
Must do pattern. I have never used a "lifeline" but I will be in the future. Have just found your videos, and I'm binge watching!.
A super shared design. Thank you for sharing your techniques and an extremely clear tutorial. A great plus too in using circular knitting needles.
Watching your videos even when I'm not doing the pattern shown is so calming
Wow! Thank you so much, Staci, for this really cool tutorial. I will try this directly this evening. Many greetings from Luxembourg.
Thank you! I’m doing a KAL that calls for this technique that I’ve never tried before. Great tips!
Wow!! Someone was giving me help over FB.. And mentioned a back line.. Its a LIFE LINE!!! THUS US HUGE WONDERFULLY NEEDED FOR ME!!!
THABK YOU!! IT was just about an hour ago. I was going to look it up,.and HERE YOU ARE SHOWING THIS!!! WOW!!
THANK YOU !! I've tried to take my knitting a blanket to a certain point and then push a needle back through.. Oh yeah
I had to tear it ALL OUT
A 'LIFE LINE'!😍.. SO MUCH!! IM Saving this video!!😁👏👏👏👍👍
I ordered my yarn can't wait to try this pattern.
i could watch you knit all day long! lol. i love this pattern and the way you teach.
That is so much easier than I thought at first sight. Another pattern to add to the "to do's" Thank you!
Ohhhhh!!!! Luv this scarf, I have been looking for a cool throw stitch and I have found it. Of course this will be a long term piece for my ambitious moments. Thanks!
Thanks for the inspiration. I have been knitting hats for charity and have been getting bored with them. I decided to use fewer stitches and make a hat with the mosaic design. So far it is working well. I'm sure I'll do more in the future. It is a great way to use up those leftover yarns.
I always learn so much from your videos! Thank you, and beautiful work!
This, as always with your videos, is excellent!! Full of tips!! Thank you!!! Love this channel!
NICE!! Going to try this. Fair isle is nice, I had to teach myself how to hold 2 colors at once, but this looks like it will be muuuuch easier!
your hair always looks good, but i especially like it this length. thanks for this video
You make this look so easy! I cannot wait to try it! By the way - your hair is super cute here!
Great pattern. I've been knitting for more than 15 years and I still use lifelines. I highly recommend them for peace of mind. They also help as row markers for larger pieces.
I just saw how you finish by doing the duplicate stitch to clean up the edge. I laughed out loud because I do the same thing; it takes me at least 2 times before I'm happy.
Thank you! I love how you teach! u am learning a lot with you, but I am still slow. 😧 But, I have to remind myself I started slow crocheting as well.
Great pattern! This is now in my to-do pile! :) ty for sharing
Another quality tutorial...Many thanks.😊
very pretty cowl ! Thank you for your video !
You read my mind, Staci! I was wondering about the colour jog, so thank you for answering in the video. This pattern looks lovely! I've done a few fair isle projects and I never thought to stretch out the stitches (I usually make the stitch then tug on the float so it's looser) when changing colours. I'll have to try it out on the sock I'm working on.
This is so pretty!
I watched the video with great pleasure.thank you
thank you for another amazing tutorial :)
Love the lifeline tip 😀
That's beautiful!
Love your tips! Thanks
Gorgeous!!!
Thank you for helpıng me to download the Tesserıno Cowl. very happy and grateful.just fınıshed the shaker cloth and your explanatıon ıs excellent. thank youn agaın
Ohhhhh....looks like fun!
Love the life line tip!
Love it! What are the multiples???
yarn is beautiful
Love your videos
Can I just say I love your videos.... I'm still trying to get your "cast on" down... lol
Hi Staci! Another fantastic tutorial for a pattern that I can't wait to knit. I just wanted to share that around 17:15 in the video, you said that you put your cowl in the dryer on the spin cycle to get out the excess water after blocking, but I'm pretty sure you meant to say the washer. I just didn't anyone to try drying their cowl accidentally; a felted cowl may not be the desired outcome ;)
+Kyle Holland - yes, thank you. I corrected that with an annotation box, but you won't be able to see annotation boxes if you are using certain mobile devices.
+VeryPink Knits Hmm... I watched it using Chrome on my laptop. In case it was browser-related, I just tried it in Safari, too, but didn't see an annotation box there either. They are showing up for other in other videos, however. I hope that's helpful information.
+Kyle Holland - yes, thank you...I just checked it and it wasn't showing up in my browser, either. It should be showing up now, I deleted the annotation and created it again, I think it's working now!
Love this. How would you do this technique if you wanted to do flat and not circular
Very good! So I'm getting that mosaic does not do anything with floats. One pattern I saw had a 7 st float, and it was flat! Not liking that part. Thanks, again, for teaching a new technique to me.
love lifelines!!
Thank you!
I cannot get the link to work for the pattern. I also cannot get your page to come up. Strange.
Thank you for showing me this pattern. I love your channel! I get all my ideas for Christmas and birthday presents from you. I was just wondering though, is there a pattern to make this a blanket? It would look great as one. Thank you again!
You can ask the designer directly, but I don't believe there is a pattern for knitting this stitch flat (not in-the-round).
+VeryPink Knits Thank you for getting back to me. I will make sure I talk to the designer.
Staci, do you think it is possible to use this pattern for a slouchy hat or a beanie??..Thank you for this video.
Do you think it's possible to start the cowl using provisional cast on so that it hide the back of the stitches?
Thanks so much Stacy. As usual your tutorials are wonderful.
I looked at the pattern after i watched you and i found a couple of things.
The most important i things i think is how you slip stitches. I didn't see anywhere where it said knit purl wise. Also, it doesn't say to slip separate or together. For example if i remember where it said slip 3, you slipped two together and then one. How did you know to do this? I might have missed it on the pattern though! Also the start says start round 3 with knit one row, i think that would be round 5.
Thanks again, another pattern i would not be able to do without you!
+Lucy Lu oh geeze i spelled your name wrong.....I'm sorry!
Love it
Thanks
adorable
I'm working this on a practice piece with stash yarn. My garter edge is very curled. Suggestions? Otherwise your video makes it clear as a bell!
If you're using a wool yarn, you can use steam (from a steam iron) to flatten out the edges.
Hi Staci...I had to read in the comments about how many stitches you cast on for the long shawl. I tried to get the free pattern when you first posted this video, and I could not get it and I tried again today and still, could not get it.... so while watching the video when you pulled your pattern down I paused the video and hand wrote the directions down. I have been in a crochet and knitting rut since this video aired and told myself Staci does some great projects try another one of hers.....Thank You so Much I Love your Inspiration.
Louet is distributing the pattern (I am not). If you're having trouble, you can contact their customer service directly. I highly recommend using their yarn for the best results with this cowl! Hope that helps.
Also - the bit of directions I show in the video is not the complete pattern.
Thank You....
Hi stacy
Love this pattern and tutorial. Thank you. My question is on slipping the stitches. In the pattern it says to slip with yarn in back, so do we slip knitwise or pearlwise
+Donna Messana - as a rule of thumb, you always want to slip purlwise unless the pattern tells you otherwise. You can slip purlwise with the yarn in back.
Karen1Nicola - slipping the stitch as-if-to-knit actually twists the stitch...slipping it purlwise is the way to leave it as it is. So always slip purlwise unless the pattern tells you otherwise.
Hi !! Wat size needles is that. ? Thanks for tutorial.
Hi Staci. I'm about halfway through Tesserino Cowl and I really love it. I used Cascade Venezia which is a wool/silk blend. The edges are folded over and it is curling. I'm not a tight knitter, so I'm praying the whole time that this will all work out after blocking. What do you think?
You can try applying some steam from a steam iron (don't press down), and stretching the whole thing out to see if that stops the curling. If that doesn't work, it probably means that your gauge is a bit looser in garter stitch than it is in the stitch pattern - so using a smaller needle size for the garter stitch will fix that.
Thanks Staci. I believe you are correct about the gauge. I have made other items where the garter edge has folded over. Thanks for the solution!
Hello I am little confused by the needle size. I get that the US size 6 is equal to 4mm but wouldnt the metric length of the circulars be 60 mm and not 24mm?
This kinda reminds me of helix knitting.
Could u plz do a tutorial on that?
+Michelle Woods - thank you for the suggestion, I've had many people request that. It's on "the list"!
This is very beautiful. I would love to make the one you were wearing so you casted on only 220? It looks more than 220 to make that long length.
Yes - I followed the instructions for the large size, and cast on 220.
+VeryPink Knits Thanks! I am so ready to knit this:)
Hi Stacie,I don't like knitting with circular needles,do you think I can knit this with regular needles and join the two sides some way?thank you I love your videos.
+Vassilia Condoyianni - it can be done, but the stitch pattern would require modification to create wrong side rows. I encourage you to try knitting in-the-round, it's a fun pattern!
+VeryPink Knits thank you,I will do that,I m sure it will be fun!💜
Hi Staci - Thanks to your tutorials, I've branched out and attempting to complete this scarf, but find that my work is curling up. Am I doing something wrong?
This cowl shouldn't curl up...you might want to try applying some steam and patting it out by hand. That should stop the curling.
Nice pattern although it kinda annoys me that the back of the work will be showing when double wrapped cause that is the case right? On another matter I was wondering if you have any tutorials on how to knit boarders on things like how to make stitches along an uneven edge or how to pick up stitches under the sleeves when doing a topdown raglan - always getting annoyed trying to make it look good :)
Lastly i gotta say i love your tutorials
Iben Meiner - if you click through to my website (link in the video description field) I have a photo there of the cowl double-wrapped, no wrong side showing. Sorry, I don't have a video on what you're describing, but the technique of picking up stitches for a border is the same regardless of the fabric you're picking up from.
To make this as an infinity scarf, do I need 48” or larger circular needles?
You can fit a lot of stitches on needles...this is an infinity scarf that I knit on 32" circulars.
Hi I’m unable to download this free pattern would you please help
Dear Staci,
I think this would make a very good double knitted project. From a designers standpoint, is this style of knitting and double knitting comparable in terms of amount of yarn necessary?
I'm finally to the point where I am a confident enough knitter that I am altering patterns and someday hope to be a designer myself :D
Thanks,
Ann
+In Tune Knitter - it's been a while since I've worked a double knitting project...I think modifying this pattern would be tricky, since double knitting involves slipping stitches, and this stitch pattern does, too. Making this same cowl in double knitting would require twice the amount of yarn, since you're essentially knitting a tube. Those are my initial thoughts - good luck!
Hi Staci - I was considering this pattern as a good way to work on my Portuguese Knitting skills. Do you think this would translate well to do so? I like the idea of all purling in the round....quick and easy! But not sure how to slip the stitches since the yarn is coming from the front. (Pattern is knit all rows slipping purlwise w/ yarn in back) Thanks for any advice!
You'll still slip the stitches as if to purl (so you don't twist the stitch), and just keep the yarn carried on the purl-side of the slipped stitches.
Thanks much...just could not visualize it. Also, thanks for all your wonderful content on here and your website - it has made me a better and happier knitter!
What knitting needles are you using?
I am planning to make this for a friend that has been a huge help to me recently. However, the yarn mentioned is no longer available. What is the next best option to use? I know you said this yarn is the best because of the twist. I often use merino wool that is made by cascade 220 super wash, is that a good choice? I am new to using better quality yarns.
Yarnsub.com is a good website for answering this exact question. Here are the results for good substitutions for Louet Gems Worsted: yarnsub.com/yarns/louet/gems_worsted
@@verypinkknits Thank you! I somehow missed your reply and ended up using Cloudborn yarn. But I will keep this link handy for the future. I’m just coming back to the video as I’m finishing up the cowl. So excited!
Lovely! what is the yarn in your background?
+Samantha Plant - the yarn on the shelves is some random hanks of sock yarn, the yarn used in the cowl is Louet Gems Worsted.
Thank you for such a quick reply! Im excited to try out mosaic knitting
Can you do a tutorial that shows how you knit in the second color yarn? I am a right handed thrower. I have watched your right handed flick/continental video, but that doesn't show how you add in the second yarn either.
To add the second color - just pick up the second color and start knitting with it, leaving the working yarn in the other color still hanging off the work. Just put your needle in like you're going to knit, loop the new color around that needle, and pull the stitch through in the new color. Leave yourself about a 6" tail in the new color so you can weave in the end later.
Can’t get pattern but would really like to make this cowl.
Me too
Cora Dalton, I just checked my inbox and even though I got the error message when I tried entering my email address on their site, the pattern was still delivered to me and I was able to download the pdf file.
Hopefully this happens for you as well.
Hi Stacy would I be able to turn this pattern into a blanket as well?
+Brittany morris - I suppose you could turn the stitch combo into a blanket, but you'll need to alter every-other row to be a wrong side row. Since this cowl is knit in-the-round, every round is a right side row.
ok I am a little confused.
like for instance rounds 7-8 do you repeat the pattern twice? or just once
+Avery Hollon - work straight through all 12 rounds, then start back at round 1 again to repeat through all 12 rounds again, 8 times total.
I'd love to make this cowl, but the pattern doesn't seem to be online anymore. Anyone know where I could find it?
I've been in touch with the pattern designer with no luck...I would try contacting her directly via Ravelry.
@@verypinkknits I'll do that! Thanks for answering.
FYI, I found a very similar cowl on Ravelry, called Mod Cowl designed by Elli McHugh. I think it's the same, really.
I love this but the link is not working for me, I am in the UK, wonder if that is why I can't get the pattern
It should be available to you regardless of where you are...here is the link:
stitchcraftmarketing.leadpages.co/tesserino-cowl/
You provide your email address and Louet will send you the pattern. If you're still having trouble, I recommend contacting Louet directly.
@@verypinkknits thank you x I have signed up to their newsletter but can't see any contact information other than that x I love this so much and am itching to cast it on lol x
Genial genial genial
Hello Stacı ..love your tutorıals.and your easy way of explaıng thıngs. My problem ıs that ı cannot download the pattern because my emaıl doesnt get accepted. I lıve ın Turkey and havent had thıs problem before. CAN ANY ONE OFFER ME ANY ADVICE .THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
You can contact Louet customer service, they can help you. I'm not in charge of distributing this pattern, so I cannot. Here is their customer service page: www.louet.com/page/contact-us
How do you incorporate the 2nd color of yarn?
+Wari Ari - just pick up the second color, and start knitting with it. After it is attached, you can leave it attached, as I demonstrate in the video.
I have tried to download this from Ravelry and am getting a “404 not found” error. Is this still available?
I've contacted the pattern designer to let her know there is an issue with the download, I thought it would be fixed by now. I recommend contacting her through Ravelry, maybe she needs to follow up.
@@verypinkknitsThank you! I was finally able to get it this evening.
Can you use a different yarn? If so what yarn do you think would do best?
+Colleen Brokamp - I recommend using the Louet Gems Worsted yarn, the yarn the cowl was designed to use.
Okay thank you! I just didn't want to wait that long to get started!
+VeryPink Knits cast in 100 sts for the smaller one? And 220 sts for the bigger one? How many sts did you cast on?
Yes - 100 for the small size, 220 for the large size. I knit the large size. You can visit my website for photos of both sizes: verypink.com/2016/05/18/tesserino-cowl/
Is it possible to do one row with one colour, instead if two rows?
The pattern won't show unless there are two contrasting colors.
@@verypinkknits sorry, I meant if I did one row in MC and one row in CC, instead of two rows of each
I know this post is from 2016. Tried acquiring the pattern per instructions but did not work. Tried twice.
Nothing on my channel is outdated, I keep up with everything! I just checked the Ravelry page, and clicked through for the free pattern. I followed the directions, entered my email, and the pattern download was sent to my email address within a couple of minutes. All still working fine! If you're having trouble, I recommend contacting Louet directly, they can help you. Here is the Ravelry page to get the free pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tesserino-cowl
Do I CO 100 or 200 stiches?
+Olivia Pezzin - it depends on which size you want to make...the smaller size is 100 sts, the larger is 220. Click through to my website to see photos of both sizes. verypink.com/2016/05/18/tesserino-cowl/
+VeryPink Knits Thank you!! Love your videos. Saudações do Brasil
Why did you not show us how to start with the colors??? So frustrating..
The exact instructions are in the pattern, I just show the techniques used. If you have a question on the pattern, just contact the designer for help.
Pattern is no longer free.
The pattern is no longer found please take down the website or something
You can contact the designer directly for the pattern.
