Excellent video, thank you. Very clear and easy to see exactly what to do. Many thanks. Now to get on and add a few inches to a jumper for my grandson. He’s taller than I thought!

[@ilaria298]

That’s awesome 😎 thankfully I always knit my sweaters with an extra 5/6” on them as I’m over 6ft2 so I naturally assume I’ll need to, but this is great thanks so much x

Thank you for haring this 😄 👍

[@gingermx4095]

Good 👍🏻 job

[@safiyab4767]

Thank you so much for this demonstration! It is so helpful. But it only works on sweaters in stockinette stitch, right?

[@susanfromvermont4843]

Your video and presentation were very easy to follow and results looked great! I have a somewhat different problem. I am knitting a sweater, and the bottom band will not lie flat. It behaves as though it doesn't belong to the sweater. My plan is to remove it, catching the stitches as you demonstrated, and then knit an entirely new band. Not sure if knitting bottom up will work, but knitting it down from live stitches might look strange or upside down. What do you suggest?

[@lenaccarlsson]

Awesome video! Thank you. But hhow have you made the stictches on the inside, marking mid front and mid back? It would be awesome to learn, not to hat to always use stitch markers :)

[@user-ec1ur1il6d]

So helpful! Thank you! I have a lot of extra yarn, is there any issue with just picking up the stitches from the top part, then working down from there (disregarding everything from about minute 8 on and just re-knitting the bottom section of the sweater instead of grafting)? Thanks

[@sabasamir7105]

Such a hard work that needs a lot of patience

[@peaches7551]

Wow

[@mlilledahl]

does it matter if the sweater was knit top down or top up?

[@melisadiaz9018]

I really liked this tutorial! It was very clear except for one part. It doesn't show how to close the hole you get at the end of the kitchener stitch. I tried my best, but I ended up with an ugly stitch at the end because I didn't know how to do it.

[@lienthanhthanh9495]

.cảm ơn 🤒

[@bethshaver5776]

This is pretty slick and exactly what I need to do for my own sweater. Thank you!!

[@alexandragroeneveld4615]

Hoe steek je in met een boordsteek 1r/1av..?

[@pjglnbanpp]

Hi, can you do a video how to knit a medium size sweater from top to the bottom and especially how to join the sleeves. Many thanks!

[@hankahamidovic7859]

Can this be used on seamed sweaters?

[@karenlorentz5048]

I plan to use this technique on a seamed sweater. I will undo the seams and use the same method for each piece.

[@natnicart3494]

Thank you! This is needed thanks to this stupid crop-top trend. Not EVERYTHING needs to be crop top!
