Love that she explained what to also do if knitting in the round.
My friend's mother taught me how to knit when I was 11 years old, but I have not done much knitting. This stitch is enchanting. Just discovered your channel. You knit the way I do, so it is easier to follow your instructions.
Great! I mainly do crochet on the channel now but there is a number of knitting tutorials from previous years 😊
Sweet little faux cable, easy and quick. Thank you.
My Mum always knitted this for pullovers and I loved it. Thanks for helping me to do this pattern it is so simple and still beautiful.
Thank you :) Yes, it is such a pretty and yet an easy stitch!
Excellent explanation, thank you so much..!!
this is the best explanation ever, thank you so much!
Thank you, great to hear!
Nicely explanation! Thank you so much
Great Video I learned as you went along ... I will be using this stitch in my next Cardigan .. Thanks so much !!!
Lovely, thank you! Enjoy using the stitch!
this has been extremely helpful, thanks so much.
THANK YOU THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO OF ALL.....YOU MAKE THINGS EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND TALK US THROUGH SLOWLY AND CALMLY....❤
Thank you very much! A very good explanation!
Explicați foarte bine, vă mulțumesc mult, m-am abonat la canalul dumneavoastră!🌺🤝
Excellent explanation, thank you so much
Thank you!
Excellent video, clear and easy to follow. I appreciate you so much. thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Easy n beautiful cable.Thank you
Thank you, glad to hear! 😊
Thank you for your video! And you actually helped me improve my Continental Purl stitch. I had to slow your video to really see your technique, but it is wonderful! I have knitted for years and to accomplish the purl I used my left pointer finger to shift the yarn, but discovered my tension was bad. I searched every idea for improvement on UA-cam, and quite by accident while refreshing my memory of the mock cable, there it was! You use your right finger to anchor the yarn thus smoothly purling. Thank you! Thank you! I would suggest that you do a video on “How I do the Continental Purl” ! Those basic skills that eventually improve speed and good tension are what a lot of us really need. Hope you enjoy my comments!
Thank you very much for your comment! I'm happy to hear the video helped in knitting the purl stitch. Making a slow video about the continental purl is a great idea! I like to make it the way I do on the video because that's how I learned it when I was a child. Many people also knit it in such a way that they don't lift the yarn to the front as I do. I would probably need to demonstrate both!
I now have a new video about the continental purl, showing it very slowly. ua-cam.com/video/iAOOpYpgJhY/v-deo.html
Very good explanation- thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for your explanation. Alessandra from Rome CIAO
Thank you,greetings from Finland!
Thank you for this easy pattern. I'm knitting a small dog jacket and just needed something to make it look nicer.
Great, this is ideal for projects like that!
Loved it do you have any tutorial on continental knitting the way you purl looks so easy. I have bad hands and want starting knitting again and it looks good the way you do it. Thank you .
I don't have a tutorial for starting knitting but this one shows slowly how I knit: ua-cam.com/video/1pmBYWAIqJA/v-deo.html
You purl style looks much more difficult , but thanks for the good explanation on the cable
Hello, thank you for your tutorial! How many stitches do will I need for a baby blanket?
That would depend on your yarn and how large a bably blanket you want. I would make a swatch about 20 cm wide and then set that on a tape measure to calculate how many stitches.
I enjoy your tutorial, Thank you, You make it look so easy. :)
I have always wanted to learn to knit, Now I just need to learn how too.... do you have any videos for teaching how to knit?
I have been crocheting for 40+ years.... But always tried to learn knitting but I find my self giving up because I can not find easy tutorial , every one I have found goes to fast ...
Yes, do learn to knit, it is so much fun! I knit and crochet equally. I have a playlist of 3 short videos about learning to knit from scratch ua-cam.com/video/GxgB_msUZok/v-deo.html Hope you will find them useful!
Thank you.
Help me crochet please
thanks❤ i was following a sock tutorial from a sock knitting book (summer lee’s) and i have knit gloves previously and thought i was supposed to close the lace by kfb LOL i was like, why isn’t this stitch open??? did i YO wrong?? i was thinking about gloves, how YO during fingers leaves holes unless you kfb. should’ve realized i wanted holes this time! 😂😂😂
Oh right! There are so many different types of mock cables for different uses!
Instead of the yarn over , if you pick the loop from the row below, then the hole( lace) can be eliminated!
Yes, true! I want to have the hole so i haven't tried that.
@@TuulaMaaria ah!! I see.
wish I could visualiaze the loop below. Are you referring to the bar or the stitch:
You have used Russian Purl technique and have not knitted in the back loop on the next row. Will it not twist the stitches? Can you please, explaon!
I don't know what Russian purl is. In this I just knitted the way I alwys do, never in the back loop. This video shows more how I knit. ua-cam.com/video/1pmBYWAIqJA/v-deo.html
She isn’t knitting the purl stitch Russian - its just the normal Continental way
Is there a link for a printed pattern?
I don't have a written pattern but there's a chart on this blog post www.knit-crochet-blog.com/how-to-knit-mock-cables/. Hope that is useful!
Very easy method thanks for Sharing
When measuring gauge in mock cable, do I stretch the pattern
Yes, I would stretch it a little, how it would be stretched when in use.
My finished measurement is 24 by. The pattern says to cast on 102 stitches using number 8 needles but I did not get my 24 in wide
The yarn itself cause for a size 9 needle
So if you do the math you should be getting four and a half stitches per inch and I am getting a little over 5
@@sandracohen8481 Try using needles that are one size smaller, that often helps.
Do you have a written pattern to download?😊😊
No, not for this, just this video!
I cant find the link that tells us how many stitches to start with. Does anyone know what it is?
The link in the description of that video is the general guide for calculating stitches, not for this project in particular. You can start with any number of stitches because the cable takes 3 stitches and then you can decide how many cables and how many stitches in between.
Eva Wiebe
How many rows in every pattern?
It's a 4-row repeat.
What's her website link?
Not sure what link. My blog is www.knit-crochet-blog.com and a separate Christmas blog is www.knit-crochet-christmas.com
Have used this tutorial but I have big holes by the side of the cables? Why?
That can be caused by many things but one could be that your needled are too large for your yarn, then you easily get stretchy stitches.
@TuulaMaaria thank you....I realised I was wrapping the yarn around the needle on the first purl stitch. I did it on the second one instead and that worked!
Unfortunately, your calculation guide doesn't open! Can you check it, please? Kiitos!❤
Oh! I'll need to redo it, it hasn't been updated for years.
To add, I just explained the process on one of my latest videos. It's shown using crochet but works the same in knitting ua-cam.com/video/3dR1g_cLU48/v-deo.html
But this is for left leaning only
Yes, you can turn it also or do every second one opposite.
