How to knit a 3 Stitch Japanese Cinched Rib Stitch Pattern 

How generous you are ! ? I have been using the Japanese chart for many years . When you practice more you will understand more . Thank you for those of you interested in Japanese way to knit .

I hope you keep doing these stitch tutorials. I just love them. This one is very pretty. Thanks Barbara!

Love that design in the light purple pink yarn. I also love when you do this type of videos.

I’m new to k it ring my best friend gave me my first needles so I came to RU-vid to find something to make for my friend a scarf with this pattern would blow her away Thank you so much you make it very easy to watch and learn

You are the best at stitch demos. Thanks especially for considering the needs of both high and low contrast viewers.

I just worked up a little swatch and it’s a very cool stitch. Not difficult, looks great, and nice and thick - as you said, would make nice warm mitts or hat.

Oh, thank goodness; you knit the way I do. :) Cool stitch. Very elegant. I’ve been wanting to get into the whole Japanese chart knitting thing. I read simple Japanese - katakana and hiragana - so I might be able to decipher a little of what it says. Not much, mind you, but a little. Great video! Arigato (thank you)!!

You're an excellent teacher

Very nice pattern. I need to practice this using different types of yarn. Thanks. It's fun!

This would make such a cozy scarf.

Props that you switch between Continental and English style to show the difference. I knit Continental and it sometimes confuses me to see tutorials using English style, so I have to look away some times, but I appreciate the sharing for those that knit in that style. I also appreciated the use of different colors of yarn. The orange was hard for me to see well, but that also could have been because it looked like bulky yarn. The final sample in the light purple finer yarn really presented to the best effect. This is a good example of how color, yarn size and fiber content can make a big different on the final result. Good tutorial. Thanks :)

That was so much fun!! I want to try it! Mid way thru the video, I happened to decide I needed more coffee so I looked up to locate my mug and that was the *exact* moment you told the camera “focus, please!”🤣🤣🤣

This is a fantastic turorial, I can see a lot of work and thought went into this. Thank you so much, it is very clear and motivating! :-)

I love this especially the pink color one and I got so excited but I forgot that I do almost everything in the round so I have not learned how to extrapolate flat patterns into round ... darn have to look that up.

I think you are awesome! Thank you for making these videos I have learned so much. Keep up your amazing work 😊

That's a pretty pattern. Thanks for sharing. Now we can say we can do a Japanese stitch. Cool! Lol!

Beautiful stitch. Thank you for the tutorial. I could NEVER have done that on my own. Now I'm anxious to try a small little cowl in that lighter pinkish color you used. Thanks again!

This is very cool, thanks for showing how this stitch pattern works.

These tutorials are so cool! Thanks! More, please.

That's really pretty!! Had to laugh at your right hand knitting....Since the beginning of the month I've become an ambidextrous knitter! I slept on my right hand weird somehow and irritated a nerve in my hand....way to go Lauren. So now I've managed to get my right and left handed knitting down, and they're even the same tension. I think it's a super power...my husband was less impressed.

Hi, Barbara: So great! And: some months bevore l bought 750 patterns and 500 northern patterns (Sueden, Norway, Danemark , Vikings:) and portougesian, too ) and l bought one extra for people from country (not inside of a city). Then l found my old one, once found it laying at the street when l was a child, ca 42 years younger than today, they wanted to throw it away, kind of waste! I put the bell and asked if l could take it. I was lucky! Inside there are:the ABC for knitters for Germany and others, over 300 patterns and all you need to take yarn and 2 needles and to learn only with this book to knit it all! It's from 1983! Kremayr&Scheriau, Vienna, Falken - Verlag GmbH, 6272 Niedernhausen/TS, Bstnr: 04134 3. There weren't ISBN, it was bevore! But it's great! That pattern you show here isn't seen there, but a lot of all "normal" patterns. Your pattern here is one l'd love to give it a try! It's a bit slowly to knit, l guess, to me, of course, so l'll start with a smaller project. But it's a great pattern and after a short while (l allways take a little ball of yarn and knit with you when l watch your videos) my fingers knew itselves how to go on and it began to get TV - friendly! More: great! Thank you! My sweet funny and lovely Barbara, please, can you tell me what's your needle brand? I'm allways interested in these things. I knit with Chiaogoo red lace and HiyaHiya sharp in knitting and Chiaogoo T - Spin Bamboo Set for crocheting. I dremeled with a dremel the little steps which are at HiyaHiya and now i can put the red laces from Chiaogoo for all my HiyaHiya - needles, too, and retour, too! They never curl and so for me it's way better than the blue curling cables of HH or the nearly clear - cables from T-Spin from Chiaogoo. I only use for them all red lace - cables! I dremeled away the same steps from the adapters of HH, too, so l can use an L to S - Adapter, then an S to Mini - adapter to nearly all time, can use Mini cables with all my needles and hooks! Sometimes l work with S - cables but l really love the Mini! Btw: All HH -S - cables fit to the S - needles of CH ! Don't need them for knitting any more (s.below) but sometimes l need one cable more cause of my "ufos" and then l give them a HH -cable to wait until l go on and use the other for my now wanted to be knit -project.

next step: in the round! Thanks for this lovely stitch❤️

Love your videos like this. I'm thinking of using this stitch for a cowl or scarf.

Thanks for showing how to read the Japanese pattern. I absolutely love the Japanese stitches but it’s real hard to find how to read their charts. I’d love it if you would do more of them.

Ah! Excited to see someone else who tensions with their left hand, trying to get better with right handed tensioning because I saw someone who uses both hands when doing colorworks.

Thank you very much ❤ It's different, and it looks to create a really nice fabric. I'll definitely try this later!

That's a cool looking stitch thank you for sharing

Barbara I really liked this video. I have tried to experiment with stitches just out of a sts book before. My questions is: if I what to try and make something from a sts out of a book like this say a blanket, or gloves, hat how do I determine # of sts to make a pattern?

I think this would make a great summer shell in a pastel Pima cotton!

Love this.. great for a sweater or scarf .

I would love to see some demos of different 2 color stitch patterns, not brioche or intarsia but some texture stitches or lace. I also have a sorta random question, what's the deal with using 2 different yarns if they are made of different fibers, will blocking or washing affect them in the lomg run through regular wear. I have some beautiful 100% organic linen yarn and some that is fine merino wool mixed with mohair, both fingering weight, as im sure u know both these yarns have very different appearances and I been toying with the idea of knitting a scarf or shawl/ some kind of wrap thingy with cables and lace. Lots of textures u know. And I want to do a border either along the sides or the length or on the beggining and end of my project that incorporates both those yarns for a really beautiful textured maybe also lacy sections. Something repetitive and simple to just frame my work nicely, any suggestions ( stitch pattern names?) The colors i plan on using are either a combo of chocolate brown and a very rich midnight navy blue. Or either those with a highly variegated yarn (a malabrigo yarn in a earthy tones colorway) uh sorry I know this is super specific what im asking but I figured what the hell. Maybe she will have some ideas. I love your channel Barbara. Im a male knitter who just turned 30 and have advanced rather quickly in knitting techniques in just a year of knitting, everyone looks at me like I'm crazy or a wizard whenever I pull out my needles and yarn which I do often like when im waiting for the bus or riding the bus or train. I find it such a great time spender and it does wonders for my anxiety and ptsd. I have learned alot from your channel, my favorite was probably knitting along with you for the lacy Crescent shaped shawl lesson. Thank u and keep up the informative and fun content

very clearly shown, thanks a lot for sharing this :D

Barbara thank you so much for sharing your videos. I find them very interesting and inspiring. Always learning and moving forward. What are your thoughts on making this pattern for a rectangular shawl/wrap? Thank you.

Thank you - love it - I want to make a cardigan what do you think?

That cinch stitch reminds me of the "3 into 3" stitch I knit when doing some of Sharon Winsauer's projects. :) You knit into three stitches (like you would with a k3tog) but don't drop them, yarn over, then knit into the three stitches again (like a two stitch increase, but you didn't increase) and drop the three stitches off. :)

Great tutorial! Thanks🧶

😊👏👏👏😊 Thank you! I so enjoy your clear instructions! Are you going to do any Japanese lace? Happy New Year. Here in Montana we are having below zero temps and more snow on the way. So more knitting time thank you again for teaching another new stitch.

Love the stitch pattern. Would like to see more patterns. Wish the book was translated into English I would buy it.

Love it. Only thing missing was you saying how you like to make knittertaining videos. Thank you for sharing.

That's is an awesome stich! I'm trying to think how to do it so the cinch part is a different color? Hmmm😄 thank you!

Wow! What a great book! But the price and with shipping... WOW!

LOL! Your struggle with English knitting is identical to my struggle with Continental style. I just can't seem to do it. :D

I learned to knit using my right hand but then switched to continental. very clumsy at it myself anymore after 30 yrs of continental. do you have any videos on how you knit using 2 colors...I'm assuming you use your left hand for both yarns? thank you!

Beautiful

Fascinating. Thanks. 🇿🇦😷👍🙏

hello, will you show some more videos oj japanese stitches?, it is verry pleasant :) thank you

Okay, I just had to go look this up from my class notes (well, confirm what I suspected, anyway). The "information" below the number (yah, the number is all the name you get) simply means "4 stitches 4 rows is 1 pattern repeat".

BARBARA, MERHABA. BU GÜZEL ÖRNEĞİ BAĞLAMALARI ZOR GELİYORDU.AMA SEN PRATİK BİR ÇÖZÜM BULMUŞSUN. TEŞEKKÜRLER.USTASIN MAŞAALLAH.ARTIK KOLAYCA ÖREBİLİRİM İNŞAALLAH.BEĞENDİĞİM BİR ÖRNEK BU.SEVGİLER.

Continental is just getting used to 😉

How do I get your written pattern for the Japanese Cinch Stitch?

What is that 124 stitch in the picture?
