Ok, I feel like an idiot!! After trying for a few tries and watching the video another hundred times I finally figured it out! Actually your tutorial is the best one yet!! That’s why I was determined to get it!! Thank you, so much!!🥰
I have made 3 mitred square blankets, and I always have that jog. Also other people say to pickup the stitches in the bump, I like your way a lot better. Thanks for the instructions!
Wonderful tutorial. This is at least the 5th one I have watched and your instructions have been the best. Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you so much for sharing this!
thank you for this tutorial it took me several times to watch to understand but once you understand those four ways of each square and how there casted on it makes sense
Hi Hun, I love how you joined the mitered squares !! 😊😂❤ I just got done watching your tutorial on how to knit mitered squares. And I wanted to learn how to knit them together. Again Hun, your very good and and clear on your intentions. You are a blessing and a beautiful teacher 😊😇🙏✝️⛪️🕊✨️💕
Brilliantly done I actually understood I nearly gave up on the idea of a blanket because I could not understand the other tutorials I can now start thank you ❤
I have watched several videos for this technique but this is the neatest finish, my knitted cast on is a bit loopy but I’m going to do an I-cord edge so that will get covered but I think I might use a backwards loop cast on for the left edge square. That just depends on individual knitters I guess! Thank you for your videos ❤
Thank you for a very informative tutorial. I am trying to destash and this is a brilliant way to do it. I have watched several tutorials on mitred square and I think your square is great because its neat and tidy. I haven't looked yet but I hope you have more tutorials. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Gracias a tu explicación y tu trabajo para mi es muy fácil de hacer el jersey tejido con cuadrados que he visto en una foto que me encanta, eres la mejor 💖 👍🏻 😊
I have just found you and love your clear descriptions. Perfect. After you have done four of the squares how do you carry on, is there a chart to see which square you start next, or maybe by then it is obvious... eeek
It’s simpler than you think, just add them in the same was as before, you add a square to the right or top, that creates the “L” shaped gap to work an infill square
@Snufflebean Yarn ah yes, thanks. This is the perfect pick it up type of knitting I like. Just started watching Harvey which looks wonder. What a great find you are. Thank you.
Can we knit borders on the mitered square too for making blankets? Or will it look nice without borders? Please suggest. I liked the video very much. Thanks for sharing valuable information
@@SnufflebeanYarn Thanks for prompt reply. I am going to make this soon. I am really impressed by the way you teach. You are very patient and creative. 😍
This was very helpful information. Thank you for the video. Could you please explain what order the squares would be worked if you were to keep going to make a blanket? Could you also maybe do I video on how you hold the yarn in your left hand? I can’t seem to figure it out.
Hi! So when I make a blanket I generall work by adding squares to create a staircase effect and then add in the squares that join on both sides - so after the four squares you see here, i'd add one to the side of the left one, one to the top of the pink one, and then fill in the two two-side spaces created. rinse and repeat. does that make sense? With regards to holding the yarn - I use a method called continental knitting, I found it easier to pick up as a crocheter .
Viele Grüße aus Bremen. Finde das Muster für eine Wolldecke super . Werde ich nacharbeiten . Nur schade das es auf Englisch ist ich kann kein Englisch und verstehe nicht alles. Aber ich habe große Lust auf das Muster 😘🧶
You continue adding squares using the methods I showed in the first three - so one to the side of the left square and then you can work a square to fill in the L shaped gap it creates. Then you’d add a square on top of the pink square and then fill in the gap. So on and so forth.
@@SnufflebeanYarn thanks, I’ve followed your instructions and all is proceeding well. You get better with practice and it does grow on you! Thank you ☺️
Quick sanity check, when you join to the right hand side, your cast on tail will be on the right hand side when it’s a decrease row instead of a knit row like it would be if you were making a single square? Xx
You carry on joining in the same way I showed these three - you add a square to the top edge of one to build length, to the right edge to build width and then fill in the gaps created with the square that’s joined to two sides
You would add in the same was as the original squares - so add another to the right of the red square, then infill the L shaped gap it creates, then you could add one to the top left square in the same way you did with the second square you joined.
Hello there, it's Marie again. I watched your tutorial yesterday and decided that today is the day to start, all full of confidence while you are here but not after you left, actually you were with all day today. I have knitted the 4 squares like you did but I am now stuck. Am I right to think that you must pick up the stitches from the rows that were knitted and not cast on or cast off edges? I have knit and tinked most squares and I think now I'm on the right track, depending on your answer. Sorry for being thick.
Yes that’s correct, so if you imagine the 4 squares I have, you would pick up stitches along the bottom edge of the pink square and then cast on, and then with the red square you would cast on stitches and then pick up stitches along its right hand side. Does that help?
I cast on by basically knitting the stitches on to my left needle, I cannot figure out how to pick up the stitches because it's like your video is back to front and upside down! I'm fairly new to knitting, just got a few hats and a scarf under my belt, nailed down doing the squares themselves, how do I do this when I cast on differently? Help! 😣 😂
Ok so I’m guessing you’re using the knitted cast on, once you’ve cast on half your stitches, you’ll move your needle from your left to right hand and then pick up stitches like me.
Do you have right side facing or wrong side of work when picking up stitches and cast on only as as pattern j am using by doing wrong side Row would make my squares 1 row short on other squares please can someone help me
Hi! You would have your right side facing you when you pick up your stitches so that the ridges from the join are on the wrong side of your work. Hope that helps. 😊
I’m not a left handed knitter (despite being left handed) so I struggle to visualise how it would be laid out - you would always need to join on the non cast on sides of the squares.
You carry on joining in the same way I showed these three - you add a square to the top edge of one to build length, to the right edge to build width and then fill in the gaps created with the square that’s joined to two sides
I think it would be helpful with the third square to actually put your row marker in and break down the steps a bit. Please could you redo this video because some of us are not as adept as others? I have had no trouble with the first second and fourth squares. The third one is defeating me because the ridge is always on the wrong side. Thank you.
@@SnufflebeanYarn thanks for responding. The confusion arose because I was expecting the short end of my yarn to be always the knit row. The rule of thumb is the decrease is always on the right side so the ridge is formed . The first video (blue square) is very clear I think with the subsequent squares not so much because for example you tell us you’ll put the row marker in but don’t actually do it. Sorry for being knit-picking- forgive the pun!- but little things like that do help. Otherwise, a great tutorial. Thanks very much.
I’m sorry you feel that way, perhaps if you were reading the auto translated subtitles then it mistranslated? This video is on how to join the squares, I have a separate one that shows how to make the actual square which forms the basis of this method.
