How to Knit a Folded Brim That Stays in Place

In today’s tutorial I show you how to knit a 1x1 folded brim that stays in place with a simple fix of a 2 round repeat. No more rolling down the nape or awkward uneven brims! Yay!
Halfway through your 1x1 brim, you’ll knit a repeat of sl1wyib, p1 for two rounds before continuing the rest of your brim length. Easy peasy!

I wasn't looking for this tutorial but happy i came across it. I usually use a purl row to define my folded brim. This only looks nice for stockinette stiches. Happy to have a better option for rib. Hopefully if works for folded neck too 😊

Thank you, great trick. Already did it on two hats👍🏻 QUESTION: Can this be done with a 2K 2P brim? or is it only suitable for 1K 1P brim?

I think it can be done on a 2x2 rib stitch. What will happen is the floats on the back will be a bit longer, so as long as you are okay with the longer floats it will be fine. When you do Fair Isle you typically don't want to have floats longer than 3 stitches without being caught again. Also keep an eye on your tension as you go, if you pull too tight you could loose the elasticity in the knitting. You could also seam the knit brims together to hide the floats on the inside and permanently lock the brim in place.

Clarify that the slip one is purlwise.

Would you do the same if you were kniting in the stockinette in the round?

This is a great technique! Where can I find this hat pattern? I really like it. Thank you!

@EsteeDarla 6 ай бұрын

great tutorial how could this be done on a flat bed knitting machine? Would I just take the slip stitches out of working position threw the slip process?

Hey, thanks for the tip! I have a question, if I'm knitting in round, would this two rows repeat change to k1, sl1wyif and then sl1wyib, p1?

@afibercollective Жыл бұрын

These directions are for knitting in the round. You will work both rounds as work 2 rounds as *sl1wyib, p1

Thanks for the great tutorial, this is exactly what I was looking for! I have 2 questions, would really appreciate the extra guidance. 🙏 1. If my hat uses 2x2 ribbing, could I get a similar result by doing s2 wyib, p2? Or does this work best only as described? (s1 wyib, p1) 2. Could you clarify which way the fabric bends? If I have the RS facing me while I work 2 rounds of this fold line, will the fabric bend toward me (RS) or away from me (WS)? Thanks again!

This is a great question!! I haven’t tried the 2x2 yet - I wonder what slipping 2 side by side will do. To answer your question, when knitting the right side, the part after the bend leans towards you - so essentially the two right sides will be facing eachother when the brim is folded, just like when knitting a folded brim beanie without the special add in. Does that make sense?

@@afibercollective Yes! Thanks, very helpful. I’m working on a quick swatch to test out the 2x2 approach, will report back here soon in case it’s useful info for others.

@jzimbel Жыл бұрын

Ok, yes you can work the fold line with 2 slips followed by 2 purls and it looks/works just fine.
