Overview of Knit Edging Technique
This video tutorial covers a unique knit edging technique that can enhance the look of your knitting projects. The pattern requires you to prepare your stitches in multiples of 10, plus an additional two stitches for the edges, totaling 42 stitches for the demonstration provided in the video.
Required Materials
- Size 3 knitting needle
- Yarn in the color of choice; a contrasting color can highlight the edge effectively.
Knitting Instructions
Start Your Project
- Cast on the required number of stitches, ensuring that it is a multiple of 10 plus 2 extra stitches for the sides.
Begin the Edging Pattern
- Knit the first stitch.
- Slip the second stitch to the other needle without knitting it.
- Perform a yarn over and then knit the slipped stitch. This step will create a hole.
- Continue by knitting the next two stitches.
Continue the Pattern
- Execute a yarn over, knit the next stitch, then slip the subsequent stitch to the other needle without knitting.
- Repeat the combination of knitting two stitches, a yarn over, knitting one stitch, and slipping another stitch until just four stitches are left on your needle.
- Knit the remaining four stitches.
Repeat for Additional Rows
Continue the sequence from steps 2 to 3 for each subsequent row to build up the edging.
Increasing Stitches
- At the beginning of each row, knit the first edge stitch.
- Create a new stitch by knitting into the space between the first and second stitch from the previous row.
- Knit the next stitch.
- Make another stitch in the space between the second and third stitches from the previous row.
- Add three new stitches following this method at the start of each row.
