After knitting for approximately 56 years I never knew about this quick, simple technique to give me nice neat side edges. Thank you so very much.

Wonderful tutorial! I'm an experienced crochet'er who's learning to knit using the Continental style. This lesson has helped me to improve my edging technique. Thanks for sharing!

WOW! You are a knitting angel!! This is just what I needed. THANK YOU!!!!!

I agree with Jacqueline. You are the Knitters Angel. My edges are so untidy and big loops on each side. Thanks for sharing this big secret. As you mentioned at the beginning I never knitted the first stitch as I followed other knitters advise and the knitting looked clumsy and out of shape. Thanks to you I will have lovely edges on my grandsons sweaters. Thanks for sharing and caring. 👍👍👍💕

Love your knitting tutorials. So easy to follow. Thank you. Also, really like all those colorful shirts.

TY for showing us this. The tips you share make our knitting look so much better for us. I just love you!

Thank you for this VERY helpful video! I was always unhappy with my edges, and now I can make them nicely like you do! ! !

I love your videos and sorry that I found you so late. Such wonderful demonstrations and so easy to follow. Thank you

He actually starts demonstrating this @ 3:58.... you're welcome 💐

I know this is an old video, but i have to say thank you. I am new to knitting as of this week. I am ready to tackle my scarf. I am going to use the Garter stitch since that is what I am comfortable with and I knee their had to be a trick to clean edges. I like the Garter stich because both sides are the same and I would like that look on a scarf. This is awesome. Ready to buy my scarf yarn and get to it. I bought some cheaper yarn for practicing this week. I am picking up knitting much easier than I did crochet for some reason.

Thank you! This is such a simple technique to tidy up garter stitch edges. I’ve been knitting for over fifty years and am still learning.

That's a nice straight edge all right. Thank you for another great tutorial.

Thank you !! I use this edge all the time now. It is always beautiful and so easy!!

Oh my gosh, THANK YOU!!! This was just what I needed! ❤️

Once again I learned a little trick! Thank you so much for these videos. I love them.

Thank you! Very nice edges. I will look at your other videos to. The edges become really nicer!

I'm brand new to knitting, using KZfaq to learn. I love your videos and they have made it so easy!!

Wow, that was a great technique! Thank you!

Do you also use the same method if knitting stocking stitch, please. I am 66 and knitted about 60 of those years and I am still learning, adapting to the new methods for faster knitting. It is wonderful, thank you. Your suggested program of future videos sounds great. Videos are needed so this and crochet doesn't disappear.

The way you knit that last stitch is actually how I knit purl stitch in general, so the neat ends just come naturally. You can try it out, it looks the same as a purl stitch would look like.

Thank you for keeping it simple and teaching so much Love your channel

I wish you would come back and continue making video's. PLEASE.

Thank you for sharing this technique now I won't have to worry about my edges looking messy again.

Thanks for showing this. I am a beginner, again! I'd like to clean up my edges and see a number of ideas on KZfaq. Nothing has worked, so far, so I'll give this a try.

Wow! I wish I knew this year's ago! Thank you so much!

Thank you, thank you from a novice knitter.

This is prefect! I wanted a neat edge to a garter garment that wouldn't take away the look of garter.

Thanks for the tutorial...now I can make neat side edge for my project..

I started learning to knit months ago, and I tried many types of edges, because mine always come out very bad, and seriously all people say is slip last stitch and knit the first stitch, which was what I did and not what I get lol Thanks for explaining the difference!

Thanks for showing this new way to make a perfect edge trued others but this one easy and quick to learn

Thank you I think this is just what I needed I've been trying to figure that out but had no one to teach me!

finally a great tutorial that works thank you so much

very nice I'm going to practice this, thank you so much

Thank you very much for your videos. At the same time I learn knitting with your tips and I learn English. Your pronunciation is very clear. Greetings from Brazil.

This was so helpful! I am knitting a series of color block scarves involving intarsia and the garter stitch and I was wondering how to make neater edges. Thank you, Bjorn!!

Lovely! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you ! That was very helpful.

Thanks for sharing!!! Good luck!

Very helpful. Thank you !

Thank you, will be using this in future.

Thank you for showing how to make a neater edge. Better than having a sloppy edge.👍

Thank you for your tutorial.💕🌺👏

Thank you! Great tip!

Thank you! I am trying it now!

Hi Bjorn, thank you so much for making this tutorial. I am still new to Knitting and getting nice edges is a headache for me. I am grateful you showed the whole process of what to do, including turning over your work because I had people trying to explain it in writing and it was not making any sense to me. So thank you so much I am so very grateful and you have some other great videos as well. ^_^

Beautiful yarn!

Thank you for this demonstration. I've been knitting for years, but I find I can always learn new ways of doing things, and I love how neat your edges look. Will working the row with this technique work create the same neat edge in stockinette stitch too?

Thank you, so helpful.

enjoy your tutprials, cannot wait till I get back to Canada to order some of your beautiful yarns.Is there any duty though, I have to pay? Olga from Montreal

Bjorn, what a delight to find your videos. Your pacing is perfection--although the camera is a bit low in parts of this video. I have a baby sweater I'm starting today with Sirdar Snuggly baby bamboo 80% and wool 20%. It will benefit from lovely edges. Thank you.

Thank you. Very good tutoriais!

Is this a good edge for the seams of a sweater that have to be sewn together?

Cool to see a man knitting :) Awesome videos!

Very good demo.

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO . EXCELLENT.

That was great edging!

I was searching "how to do perfect Edegs" and this showed up 😂

Great tip and great video! What do you do if the pattern you’re following ends the edge on a purl stitch?

love it. count me in. I'll send questions in You are an awesome designer.

Thank you.it is too helpful 🙂

Oh my goodness. How wonderfully simple is the solution to a good edge for garter stitch! Thanks so much for sharing. The question is…what to do with the end of a purl row?

Thank you! I love the neat look of this edge!!

This is genius! Thank you!

Thanks for this!

Thanks for your video!

Thank you very much 😊

thank you Bjorn!!

I've been looking through your tutorials to find help with the laura shawl. I think this is the WK that you have in the pattern that had me stuck, so thank you. Also, for any future classes, I normally don't have any significant tension issues but when I change colors in the round I tend to end up with either gaping holes (relatively) or really big stitches. can you help with that in a class, please?

Clever! Is there a corresponding trick for getting a chain/Vs/jersey-looking border?

Thank you veeery much 😊

I would love to be shown how do knit neater rib bands. Mine always seem so loose. P.s. Love your videos.

I don’t know how to knit but I’m watching lots of videos to learn. You have very helpful videos thank you. But I have a question on the last stitch is that what creates the even edges? Since you are knitting the last stitch after you turn it does it ever become weak?

wow, I've never seen this thanks!

How do we tell the WS & RS? Thank you so much for your guidance.

Thank you for this!

Thank you!

THANK YOU!

Yea! I can have nice, clean edges now! Mine are always so raggedy looking.

you are a very smart man

Thank you thank you thank you ❤

Thanks for that.

Thank you for your video. Can I ask if this is best way to knit a babies jacket that is knitted in one piece to the underarm, therefore having a border at each end..

Thank you

What a concept.

I am intimidated by charts. If the chart comes with written instructions I always go to the written, but I have a few patterns without written instructions and I do not even attempt it. I would love to learn this. Thanks

Thank you! When you show patterns could you please include how to do the edges?

Dear Bjorn, I would like to know how to make the easiest lace stitch in the fewest rows! I enjoy your videos! Thank you, grace

Merci beaucoup.

Love this idea for garter and I also saw your video on making a nice edge on stockinette. I posted them on knittingparadise.com, and some wondered if the instructions are the same if you don't knit continental? thanks. Love your videos.

Does this same method work with rib stitching?

Ahh! I have been making my mother in law a fisherman’s rib scarf and the bumps on the side have been driving me insane because it makes it look sooo sloppy!! I am going to frog it and start again using this! Thank you thank you

Thanks alot seriously i tinked sth because i wasn't satisfied with "slip the first stitch " in garder stitch and when i tried again, cause i thought i maybe had done sth wrong , i didn't get satisfied too but eventually after watching this video i discovered that i actually did nothing wrong it was just that the " slip the first stitch" wasn't suitable in garder stitch Thanks thanks thanks

Need your help. Just finished an alpaca garter stitch triangular shawl with two colors but one edge is untidy, what type of border can I knit or should I crochet and edge to finish it. Thanks

Thanks so much. Could we have a tutorial on how to keep a garter stitch border flat please as the baby cardigan I’m knitting is rolling up?

Nice!

Tank you!

Thk you 👍👏❤

does this apply to stockinette stitch, moss stitch as well or only garter?

How do you bind off on the last row.With this neat edge

EXCELLENT THANK YOU 🐱🐹.
