Thank you for clearing the Moss Stitch UK and Moss Stitch USA and Double Moss UK and Irish Moss USA. I am knitting a little sweater for my Great Nephew who is 15 months old and thought I knew how to do the Moss stitch but checked on KZfaq anyway and got myself muddled than usual so I have put it to one side until you came along and sorted it out. Thank you for your tutorial and wonderful knowledge about all things knitting. Enjoy your day and take care.

Thank you, you are great. Would love to see a video on increasing in pattern in seed stitch. Swatching like crazy to find a good option, but no luck so far

Bam! You nailed it! Thank you thank you. I've been having a problem with seed stitch in the round, I didn't like the looks of it at all. Thanks for the tip. 😉

Hi, Rox...great tutorial. Your seed stitch tension is perfect. I recall you did a video on tightening a knit stitch before a purl. Did you do this or some other technique? Also, what is your technique for getting such even and tight selvedges? Thx, Carla J. nycSox

Seed stitch is my favourite stitch. I live using it for borders! Thank you. Can I make a request please Rox? I would like to learn how to knit mitred corners on a completed blanket. I know how to pick up stitches but cannot figure out (even after watching several videos) how to mitre opposite corners. Kind thanks.

Interesting. Wonder what I am doing incorrectly -- I get pesky holes between knits and purls. Do you have suggestions to help me? Your seed stitch is beautiful.

Roxanne, thank you for the amazing yet simple trick that would make the whole difference in the appearance of the project! Do you have similar solution for jogless double moss stitch in the round (4sts x 4 rows repeat)?

@RoxanneRichardson 3 жыл бұрын

There's no avoiding a jog in that situation. There are ways to make the jog less obvious, such as dividing the round into sections and creating a column of straight knits to separate the section, or a column of slip sts or something like that, but you can't get around the fact that you're working a spiral when you are dealing with a mult-row repeat.

Hi great video thank you. I have a problem with knitting cables. The stitch before the cable is fine but after the cable it’s too loose. I cannot figure out what I do wrong so a video about that problem would be really helpful😎

@alexandriasimms4842 5 жыл бұрын

Hey there, do you mean the last column if the cable? I've found that knitting into the back loop of the first stitch after the last stitch of the cable helps. You can also try wrapping the yarn clockwise when knitting the last stitch on the left column if the first suggestion does not work for you.

Hi Rox, would these tips (in the round) also work for double seed stitch (US)? I'd like to try knitting a cowl with dbl seed as the top and bottom borders. Any suggestions?

@Amethyst1919 5 жыл бұрын

Do you have anything on mitering corners on a ribbed border? I'm winging it in a short 1x1 right now but really don't like it...

How do you decrease in a flat seed stitch pattern? I’ve only been about to find instructions on decreasing in the rod for seed stitch. The alternating pattern is confusing me if I knit 2 together then what do I do for the next stitch? Follow the k/p based on the previous row or follow the next stitch in the alternating pattern on the row I’m working?

Rox, I noticed you don't mention anything about the edging. It seems to me that when I attempt to do the seed stitch the edging is bumpy. Any tips on this?

@RoxanneRichardson 4 жыл бұрын

Seed stitch is essentially columns of garter stitch that are offset every other column, so the selvedges are identical to garter stitch. If you like a special selvedge for garter stitch, you can use that. I did a video that demonstrates two options kzfaq.info/get/bejne/er-heNyArLaVc2g.html

I just finished a section of a baby’s blanket that mimics your swatch for a seed stitch border (Tips & Tricks for Seed Stitch/Moss Stitch // Technique Tuesday). I found it necessary to hold my working yarn very tight when knitting along the top border of the seed stitch in order to keep the gauge consistent with the bottom and side borders. Doing so made my hands tired. Is this a common problem? Would switching to smaller needles for the top border solve this problem? Thank you!

@RoxanneRichardson Жыл бұрын

Many people find that they need to use a smaller needle when working seed stitch. So if the only thing that has worked is working with super tight tension, then yes, going down a needle size or two would probably work.

I have been knitting 2 years almost, so I guess i'm a beginner advanced, because I have KZfaq to help me learn new stiches. But I need advise on what kind of needles to buy, I Learned on the Takumi Clover needles but I am fighting the yarn it just won't slide as easily and on a metal needle but I don't like Bates Aluminum needs they never warm up in your hands. What needles do you recommend? I really need help, I am on Social Security and I can't afford to buy needles then find out I can't use them because the yarn will not move smoothly. Please I am begging for help What straight needles do you recommend and what interchangeable do you recommend. anyone in the community please tell me what to do. Right now I am having it tough on reading a pattern Just can't read a chart. But lets take care of needles

@RoxanneRichardson 5 жыл бұрын

I would recommend you check out the Tools & Equipment forum on Ravelry. There are endless discussions on various needles that might help you decide what you might like. In most cases, you don't have to buy a complete interchangeable set in order to try them out. You can buy one set of tips and cables in the size you use most and then see how you like them, before committing to an entire set. Every knitter has different preferences for what they like and want in a needle, so knowing what *you* like is important, when reading what other people are recommending.
