I'm using this technique on a hat knit in the round on DPNs. I transferred my stitches to a "magic loop" configuration before starting the hem so I wouldn't be dealing with all the needles. I marked the line of purl bumps with small stitch markers, removing them as I go along.

The method with provisional cast on is excellent. I tried the other method and could not identify the stitches in 1st row so I skipped some and the last row ran out of st. before the 1st row. with the provisional cast on its very clear which st. to work on both needles so both rows end together. Thanks

I love this method for a folded hem! My problem with doing it on a top down top was that I kept getting off and using the wrong smiles. That didn't make me smile. Could you please suggest an easy way to mark which row to use? I can't come up with a good idea. When I was doing this iwith hundreds of stitches in thin variegated yarn getting off was too easy and undoing it to redo it wasn't much fun. I was extremely pleased with the result but not the undo and redo part.

@SuzanneBryan 2 жыл бұрын

Using a thread and a tapestry needle, find that first marked smile and thread a basting line across that row. Then turn down the hem and follow the basting thread.

You've shown this to be a very stretchy edge, but I was just wondering if you could do the same thing with ribbing.

@SuzanneBryan 2 жыл бұрын

Making a hem with ribbing might be a bit bulky. Try it on a swatch and see what you think.

@ruthstubens3812 2 жыл бұрын

What a lovely finishing technique! I was looking for an alternative to ribbing on toe up socks and will do this. Thank you for another clearly demonstrated and explained video. I always check your video channel first.

Love the video but one question remains for me. If I’m making socks and a required to have 64 stitches, am I casting on magic loop 64 stitches or 32 stitches.

I have a pair of stranded mittens with a picot edge and wondered if this would work?

@SuzanneBryan 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, this will work. This is called picot hem. There is another style of edge called a picot bind off. It produces the little bumps along the edge too, but is worked differently.

@GailCarleton-my3ij 2 ай бұрын

I have watched the video 10 times and I am now convinced that while that method of hem seaming is fantastic if you can do it, it is extraordinarily difficult to do because you’ve got the rest of the sock attached on the other side - it is extraordinarily difficult to see The smiley faces. So, I am wondering what the second recommended seeming method would be. Would it be advisable to do the stretchy castoff instead and do a regular slip stitch to attach the hem?

@SuzanneBryan Ай бұрын

Try turning the sock inside out. Then you can see everything very easily.

How do you prevent the whole picot rim from flipping up on a sweater? This is rhetorical issue that I am having.

Oh, boy! I’m really stuck here. Everything makes perfect sense EXCEPT I’m doing a sock cuff and it’s backwards and upside down from what you are doing here! My stitches are coming off the needle on the right and going left. The row I’m fastening it to is to the bottom, not the top! Help!!!

@SuzanneBryan 2 жыл бұрын

Have you tried turning your work? So that the body is on the other side of your needles? I think the orientation is easy to fix.
