I have made a short sleeve sweater with a patterned yoke. The whole sweater has been knit in the round. Although it fits beautifully through the yoke, it is far too big through the body. I was hoping to take it in but didn't know quite how to do so with it being knit in teh round. Do you think I could use this method of grafting to take in the sides and then cut off the excess?

@10rowsaday 6 жыл бұрын

Sewing the sides to give the sweater a better fit is a great solution. If your sweater is worked in the round from the top down, grafting won't be of much help because it's a horizontal type of stitching, and you need a vertical one. I once had a similar issue with a top I made - it was too wide to my liking. So I used a simple backstitch to take the excess fabric at the sides. Worked like a charm! I still wear that top from time to time. If you have a serger, treat the edges once you trim the sides. Handknit fabric is no different from any other knit fabric (except that it is usually looser). Good luck :-)

does this work well for finishing the toes of socks, or can you feel the seam too much? it looks very pretty!

@10rowsaday 5 жыл бұрын

I did use this way to finish the toes, and I didn't feel any discomfort. The seam does have a different texture compared to the classic Kitchener stitch, but it shouldn't cause any problems.

I had a hard time hearing you, at top volume of both computer and earphones. I am wondering how you handle the angling of the final stitch, is there anything special to know about it. Haven't tried it yet so it might not be a problem with the usual "ears" of ending a join. I love your channel and you have such beautiful hands!

@10rowsaday 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Barbara. Sorry, you had issues with the audio part of this video. You are right, there is nothing special about the last stitch. You simply pass the tail through the last stitch and pull it tight. The full step-by-step tutorial is at www.10rowsaday.com/russian-grafting Happy stitching :-)

Is there a way to Kitchener stitch 3 layers of knitted fabric? I am finalizing a pillow cover and I can’t figure out how to seam it through the folded 3 layers around the opening. Thanks in advance. 😊

@10rowsaday 5 жыл бұрын

Leila, I would use a variation of a simple whip stitch, similar to the way explained in this tutorial - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLqZmLCZsdu3p2w.html Or, use the Kitchener stitch to join open stitches of two of the three layers and then use the whip stitch to join in the third layer. Happy seaming :-)

@trish3580 7 ай бұрын

Hi Maryna Wow you make this look so easy! I just finished 3 cardigan panels and the panels are bound off/cast off...do I need to un- bind them off to do this? And also, is this called a Russian welt? I was searching for that, and came across your video. thanks so much

@10rowsaday 7 ай бұрын

Hi Trish. To apply this method, we need live stitches, so, yes, you will have to undo the bind off to "liberate" your stitches. As to "Russian welt", I've never come across this term, and a quick Google search didn't return much. If you find more information about this, let me know. I love to learn new things :-) Happy knitting, my friend!

Can this be done in the round? For example, grafting a tube.

I use circular knitting machine, how do i put on needles?

@10rowsaday Жыл бұрын

You would have to take stitches one by one from the needles of the circular knitting machine to a circular needle or a set of double-pointed ones before you start grafting your stitches using this method.

@chrisdarry-roseelrod4481 6 жыл бұрын

Can this be done with right sides together to hide the seam?

@10rowsaday 6 жыл бұрын

Sure, Chris. The seam will be less visible if you keep the right sides together. The best way to know how it will look on your project is to make a small swatch using the same yarn and stitch pattern. Or you can seam stitches of the project for an inch or so, and then check both sides of the work to see whether you like the look of the seam. If it doesn't look good enough, you can easily undo the seam. Good luck :-)
