Thank you! 😀🧶

Yep that’s another option, but my eyes just don’t love log cabin on a border! It’s all personal preference though, so many different ways to do things 🙂

Using a crochet hook is a great tip :)

@@SnufflebeanYarn I finished !!! It's not perfect, and I made a lot of mistakes, but the boarder is on and sewed together. I'm quite happy with the outcome. Thank you !!! Your tutorial was so easy to follow and uncomplicated. I will be doing this again ... ☺

I like casting off with right side facing because I actually prefer the little ridge you get from the cast off more than a raw row of garter stitches from casting off on the wrong side. We all have our own preferences and that’s what makes crafting so wonderful

Brilliant! Happy knitting!

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback 🥰🥰 Happy Knitting!!

Thats great to hear!! Happy knitting :-)

You are so welcome!

Glad it was helpful! 🧶😀

Well, did you add the garter stitch? I am watching this video because I am making a moss stitch patch work blanket and I want to know if this will look good on it

Thanks so much 😊

Thank you! 🧶😀

Gracias! 🧶😀

It’ll work in the same way as I knitted it but as you’re working in stockinette it should be easier to pick up stitches - maybe slip the last stitch purlwise with the yarn in front to give you a nice play to pick up a stitch as you’ll only be picking one up per two rows?

Thank you for your advice! I will try knitting up a small sample first but failure is simply not an option!

@@SnufflebeanYarn Seems to me a stockinette border would curl? Maybe a seed stitch would work better? How did it go?

The stockinette I was referring to would be the body of the blanket - unless I understood the comment wrong. 🙂

You're welcome 😀🧶

I would use cable connectors to make a really long set of circular needles 🙂

I just finished a large blanket and was wondering the same thing

Just pick them up evenly across the edges ☺️

I say if you think it’ll work then go for it, you can probably visualise it better than me as you’re the one knitting the project 😀

Yes but the amount of stitches you’d need to pick up would be less if it’s a thicker yarn

@SnufflebeanYarn oh okay! So instead of it being a one to one and pick up every stich along the border, I'd instead pick up maybe every other stich or so depending how thick it is?

@@JoseH-kp6dj yep that’s right 🙂

@SnufflebeanYarn awesome thabk you so much💜 your tutorial was so easy to keep track of. I'm just starting to get back into knitting after a few years and I'm looking for good tutorials for my first project. I think I found some for sure😁

You could try? I just found this the simplest way of adding a border 😀

If it’s tight you’ve likely not picked up enough stitches.

Interesting! I was picking up 3, skipping one, etc. I thought I was picking up too many!

You can buy cable connectors to make very long cable needs if you want to - it would be a mammouth task but possible! I’m a baby blanket addict myself so I haven’t ever knitted anything that large but I think if I did I would go down the cable connector route to get a seamless finish

@@SnufflebeanYarn Ah thank you so much for that!

You could give it a go but I’ve only used garter stitch myself

I haven’t personally tried it so I couldn’t say one way or another.

You could if you wanted to, but I wanted this tutorial to be as beginner friendly as possible.

@@SnufflebeanYarn I understand. I just wanted to double check. I assume the same thing could be true with picking up/knitting through the stitches of the short edge rows as you're knitting the long edges too, if you're careful enough... I hate sewing with a passion so if I could create the same result without it, that'd be amazing. Thank you so much for sharing the technique. I love the mitred edge and it's definitely nicer than just crocheting a border or the blocky joins. 🥰

Potentially, except the direction would be different with the long edges. I’m not a sewing fan but the 4 small edges in this border only take 5 mins to sew so it’s a comprimise I was willing to accept 🥰

@@SnufflebeanYarn Absolutely. It's something I'll try out on a sample and see how it looks because that's the important part. Otherwise, as you say, I'll just have to suck it up for the gorgeous end result. 😂

@@SnufflebeanYarn I just realised that I think my explanation was a bit confusing here. Just to clarify: I didn't mean to pick up just a few stitches along the mitred edge of the previously completed cast-on/cast-off border, and then do lots of rows of garter... rather, I meant to do exactly what you did, but with the extra step of picking up an extra stitch through the edge of the mitre at the start and end of each of the long rows. I don't know if that's just making it more confusing. 😂But either way, I'll give it a try. Thanks for taking the time to reply to me. 🤗

With garter stitch I pick up in between garter ridges on the long edges and every stitch on the short edges - for stockinette edges you may need to do every other stitch. I use the same size needles for the edge that I’ve used for the main body.

If the blanket is knitted in bulky then yes it works in the same way, if the blanket is knitted in thinner yarn then you may need to pick up less stitches to accommodate the thicker yarn.
