Well, I did -- but this is for cases where that edge will be seamed later. If no more seaming is happening, you can use this method: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oruFn8tpptvQpI0.html

Heyyy thank you so much!! It's my first time knitting and I bind off my top too tight I can't even get into it. After seeing your video, I was able to redo it. Even tho it's still a bit hard to get into, it's way more relax than the previous try. Maybe I'll redo it one more time but your resource is super useful!!❤❤

Hi Heather, great and new technique to me! It really solves the little locking bumps which can be very visible depending on the yarn and how they are executed. And compared to locking the ladderback jacquard seems also easy to do. Only thing I wonder is that it works well with geometric patterns but with more complicated jacquard, you have to set up ladderbacks all the time. I have to practice, get the feel of it because I will definitely use it! Thank you for sharing ❤️👍
@HeatherStorta6 күн бұрын
You are so welcome! Yeah, complicated patterns require resolving ladderbacks and beginning ladderbacks frequently, which can start to get a little confusing! Some knitters use knit stitches with the ladderbacks, but I like using the purl stitch since it's helpful to spot which stitches are my ladderback stitches in the sea of stockinette stitches.

Hi Heather, thanks for sharing this, I did not know this decrease 😃! So you use it to decrease more. It looks less bulky than k3tog or k4tog or sssk and ssssk. The swatch shows a sharper raglan, full fashioned. Blended would also work I think? Where is the cabled decrease worked most?
@HeatherStorta7 күн бұрын
Blended would work too, yes! It's mostly seen in "full fashioned" shoulder shaping, where the shoulder seam is moved from the top shoulder line to a more diagonal line at the back shoulder. You need rapid decreases in the back piece to get the sharper diagonal line there for that seam. But you could use these any place you need a multi-stitch decrease! It is less bulky than its counterparts, very true!

I have never seen these decreases before. When would you need to use these?
@HeatherStorta7 күн бұрын
You'd use these any time you need to make 2 or 3 (or 4!) decreases at the same time. So you could use it as a replacement for a k3tog or k4 tog, for example. They are most often found in "full-fashioned" shoulder shaping where the shoulder seam is moved to the back instead of sitting at the top of the shoulder line -- you use these in the back piece to get a sharper/faster decrease line along that seam. (Look at high-end store-bought cashmere sweaters and they will most likely have these full fashioned shoulder seams with cabled decreases.)

Can you do a reinforced stitch with the fleegle heel?
@HeatherStorta10 күн бұрын
You could with the heel turn portion that is worked back and forth, for sure. Not as easily with the portion with the increases, though. For that section you'd need to cut the reinforcing thread at each side of the sole sts and join a new strand at each pass across those stitches (hopefully that makes sense.) (Oh -- I misunderstood and though you asked about reinforcing thread!) A heel stitch-- yes, you could work a heel stitch here -- it might get a bit complicated since the stitch count is changing in the "gusset" area and then you are dealing with the short rows in the heel turn, but it's certainly possible.
@greenmanatee646210 күн бұрын
@HeatherStorta Ok, thank you. I'm doing 2 at a time toe up socks, ready to start the heel. The fleegle looks fast. I like reinforced heels but don't want to fuss with figuring that out right now.

A little! In this case we're knitting multiples together while making a multi-stitch increase, but it's a similar concept for the increases you use when starting bobbles.

Yes, they can be tricky if your tension is tight! And even with looser tension they can be difficult if you have to work a 5 into 9, for example! Knitting 5 sts together that many times gets a bit tight!

Would be really helpful to see what it looks like when it's done in the same color yarn! I'm doing a hat that I knitted flat and need to seam and really don't want the ridge on the inside but I also want it to look nice on the outside of the seam. Are there any other options?
@HeatherStortaАй бұрын
That's a good point! Sorry I don't have a same-color sample to show. Another option would be to try a (neatly worked) whip stitch. It won't be as secure, but it will lay nice and flat if that is not a concern.

Hi, Heather. I tried varying JSSBO last time I used it, because I was getting *too much* flare with YO’s between every stitch. Instead, in a 2x2 rib, I only added the YO or bYO after every other stitch - still too much. I settled on inserting YO only after 2nd purl, because otherwise that’s the spot with shortest yarn path. For that particular project, this turned out to be the “sweet spot” for stretchiness. 😊 - Deborah S

Weaving in ends as you go in Ribbing: I have done this (in K1,P1 ribbing) by treating the end as if in colourwork, as though it is a secondary colour float that I am catching. I tension the 'end' yarn in my left hand and ensure it is wrapped over my LH index finger. When I insert the RHN into the next k. st. I extend the point of the needle underneath the 'end' yarn on my index finger before wrapping the working yarn and completing the k st. On the purl stitch, I bring the yarn forward and purl as normal. But In the process the 'end' has been caught or weaved in to my background stitching (every second stitch) just like catching floats in colour work. Works for me.

Thanks Heather. In case I haven't explained it adequately for the original questioner, there is a good example of this technique in a youtube video by 'yarnlab' called "westknits MKAL locking in ends as you go - no weavin stephen here'. I then adapted this for use in 1x1 ribbing as described.
