Very pretty! Not sure if I'll ever use beads, but I'll keep this in mind. Still looking forward to the smock stitch video!

Nice! I like how you add the beads. I don’t want to thread them all on when I start.

That is such a beautiful shawl, and being garter stitch, it is easily done. The beads add so much to the edge.

Andrea, I've actually done Latvian braids on the non-public side, too. I tried it when I was working on a hat using Portuguese knitting on the non-public side. I started my hat with ribbing and with my yarns on my pins as usual, then when I got to the Latvian braid, I did my set up row alternating colors and doing purls, not knits. Then I dropped the yarn off my pins and instead of having the yarn in front and doing knits, I had my yarn in the back and did purls. The public side turned out exactly the same as if I had done it on that side. When I finished the two rows of the Latvian braid, I put my yarns back on my pins and continued my hat on the non-public side, Portuguese style. Either way is great and they are SUCH a pretty addition to patterns!! Great video. THANKS!!!

Thank you.

First view here knitting friend ❤🥰👋🏽

Andrea, thank you for this video. The lace stitch is lovely. And the yarn is beautiful. I had no trouble seeing it. The lady who NICELY suggested a darker color has a valid point in that everyone’s monitors are different and some may not have as much contrast. But I’m always amazed at the people who ONLY complain when you are providing free content. 🙄 I took your class at Temptations and am so glad I did. I switch back and forth between Portuguese and English especially when knitting stockinette. I still have trouble with my yarn flowing through the pin and my hand. I find my knitting is always coming closer to my face, then I adjust it. Do you have a video to show how to keep the tension even and yarn flowing?

How pretty. Thanks for sharing!😊

I love your knitting ❤

So lovely. Thank you!

Thank you for this wonderful pattern. I am knitting along from Australia. I just realised that I don't know where to decrease the two stitches when the desired widths been achieved?

This method is fascinating!

Beautiful!

Can you show how and at what point you increase and then decrease on the 4th row

I wish I grew up knitting Portuguese. I'm 73, are stuck in English knitting for 68 years. Thank you for the video

PRETTYYYYY❣️🥰. Can you PLZ show how to add beads on the pecot stitch?

This is amazing. Also - purling using the thumb? Game changer! Thank you so much for this x

I'm sure you can.

My mother taught me knitting when i was a child. I think i was 7 or so. My mother was always knitting portugiese style, so i learned it that way. In earlier times purling was easier to me, so i dis my raglan sweater inside out. Its logical and prett cool. Now i have my own style of the knit stitch, and now the stickinette is much wasier. I still struggle with the tension in times, but its getting better. I get loose stitches and i dont know why

Can you knit the stitches instead of purl and get the same result?

Do you have a pattern for the item you are knitting? That would make a lovely skinny scarf. I don’t care for the Sophie scarf that is all over KZfaq. This would be SO much prettier. I’ll keep an eye out on you channel. I just found your channel. Thank you ♥️

Very clear, thank you

❤🎉❤

Oh my thats simple yet lovely thanks

Fascinating, never seen that before❤

Beautiful lace! It's a mystery, though, why so many knitters here on KZfaq choose yarn that matches the background (table). It makes it really hard to see what's going on.

I purl into that first slip-knot stitch and then insert the right-hand needle between the two stitches from back to front, allowing me to create the next stitch as if I were purling.

New knitter and this video was extremely helpful! Thank you!

Andrea, Can you show how to eliminate a jog when doing a fair isle type of pattern on the non-public side? I am doing a hat with a charted pattern and the first or last stitch sometimes are the same color, sometimes different colors, sometimes a new color. Is it even possible to use your jogless technique in some way?

Hi Andrea, thank you for this extremely clear tutorial on Portuguese knitting. The purl style is going to be a game changer for me! Just shared this with my knitting bestie, and we are both very excited. Best wishes to you from Australia 😁🧶😁🧶😁

Thank you

Thank you for all the great lessons you do on Portuguese knitting. This one is really clear. I usually knit English style - flicking, but was getting some pain in my hands and fingers, but not with Portuguese style. Really helpful to see techniques like this one so I can add to my skill set with this style.

This is exactly what I needed. I tried applying traditional knitting techniques for working stripes, but they didn't work for portuguese knitting on the purl side. Thank you so much for this video.

Que maravilha! Nunca tinha visto esta técnica, nem noutros estilos de tricotar. Tão simples e eficaz. Obrigadaaaaaa!

Are you losing a stitch when you slsk?

Thank you!

Thank you, Andrea!

I just want to day thank you I have learned so much from you and saved me not only alot of pain with knitting but having a physical limitation has opened the world of knitting back for me with portuguese knitting

Almost like a visit with you.

Beautiful stitch!! Thank you for the tutorial.

Thank you!!

I've always struggled with uneven stitches due to poor tension. I was taught the throwing method. Continental knitting helped. The Portuguese style of knitting though has been a huge game change for me, especially for my ribbing. With ribbing before the second knit stitch left leg was distorted, I tried knitting the first purl stitch a little tighter to close any gap and generally knitting tighter. It was so exhausting. My purl row was always a bit loose. When shifting or sliding stitches tension was lost and every now and then along a row there was the odd large stitch or two. Now my 2x2 rib is cleaner, neater and I can feel proud of it, hence for the first time I'm knitting with confidence. My advice is try different knitting styles until you find the one that suits you. Thank you for these tutorials.

Thank you so much for this video! I am just learning to knit and I have watched some very good and clear instructions but it was either continental or english style. Right away the continental style was preferred over english but I was having such difficulty with tension and my index finger was starting to feel sore and it just felt a bit strange. Then I saw a video demonstrating this Portuguese style and was intrigued. I have found your video to be the most clear and straight forward and this style actually feels natural to me even though I’m just learning. I am looking forward to going through your other videos.

The different knitting styles are really interesting. I love these kind of knitting videos getting to know the different styles. I have been knitting for over 60 years and I'd rather stick to the continental way though. To me the Portuguese way looks just as awkward as the English "throw over" method.

I love you!! You are awesome! Ty ty ty

I bet this will help me do 1-to-1 ribbing more smoothly. Thank you.

Never seen this before😮 I've been here on Earth for a while🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wishing i could show this to my late great ma she would've loved this

Very cool!

Do you know of any videos of people tensioning the yarn in the Portuguese style for crochet?
