How to Knit a Mitered Corner WITHOUT Wrap and Turns - part 1 

Genius! I've been knitting for 65 years, have wonderful tension (she said, modestly) and write my own patterns all the time, but there have been gaps in my knowledge that I wasn't even aware of until easy access to videos came my way. One is a steek, currently being worked on, another was wrapped stitches for short rows, mastered recently, but then you come along with your itty bitty 2 years' experience and squeaky wool and simply blow me away with your mitred corner technique!!! Thanks so much for overcoming your nerves and making the video. I now feel the need to drop everything and have a go! A little tip for you (which I got from my mother, so you get an idea of how old it is) is to stick your needles through your hair occasionally. They pick up the tiniest amount of your natural oils, not enough to see or feel, but enough to act as a barrier to the sweat that causes the squeak with acrylic wool on steel needles. Needless to say, I've subscribed! X

Thank you from Scotland. I have been knitting since I was a child and am now in my 70s and this was a revelation. So easy and exactly what I was needing for my blanket edge. You say you have only been knitting for a short time but you are a genius in my opinion!

Dear Nervous Knitter -- THANK YOU so much. I have spent hours trying to make a mitered corner. The best parts of what you did here are that you didn't race through the process and you repeated it so many times for those of us who are even more nervous about trying this technique.

IVE BEEN KNITTING FOR EIGHT YEARS AND YOUVE TAUGHT ME MORE THAN I COULD EVER TEACH MYSELF, THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU.

if you have only been knitting for 2 yrs and you figured out how to to this, my hat is off to you!

Genius way of teaching this technique, you explain things so clearly and well. Don't stop making videos, you're great!

I love the modification. I was having a heck of a time with the wraps and turns. So much easier!

This is one of my favorite videos. Your teaching skills are great. Not having to do W&T's, I was so confused, has made this blanket so much easier for me. Thank you

I am loving your videos so far! I totally understand your nervousness but you are amazing. Only knitting for 2 years and you are better at teaching than some that have been knitting for decades. Keep up the good work and just know how awesome you are. :)

well done on your videos, for someone who has not been knitting for a lot of years your really good that looks such a better way to mitre a corner than wrap and turn ...so thank you

I really appreciate your attitude and your teaching skills. I've been knitting for more than 65 years and love to learn new things. Thank you for sharing! Keep up the good work!

I just wanted to tell you I love your tutorials, they are easy to follow and explained very well. I have always wanted to do a Ten stitch blanket but I don’t like wrap and turns either except on loom knit socks. I have stated my first ten stitch and it is going very well with your help

Thank you so much for this tutorial, you have made it so clear and easy to follow that even I am confident at doing mitred corners this way now :) Never apologise about being nervous everyone gets that way about something You are a star and so talented. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us x

Thank you for sharing this! In addition to being SOOO much easier, it produces a nice, flat miter that looks much better.

I've done the Tunisian Ten Stitch and was interested in doing the knitted version, but didn't want the ridges on the normal version. That's when I ran across your videos. Well done. I'm just learning (less than a year) and still working on my technique.

amazing! exactly what i wanted. you are an excellent teacher. thank you! i am knitting a 'tree of life' blanket, but i do not care for her border. i was looking for a clean squared off corner and this is perfect. now i need to finish the body of my blanket, so i can ise this for my border.

THANK you!! I don't love wrapping and turning and I really appreciate that you didn't cut anything out or skip through the process.

This video was so helpful! It was so well explained, even a beginner like me got the technique right away. Very well done, thank you so much! 😁

Thank you so very much for the clear instructions on the mitered corner WITHOUT wrap and turns. I tried doing a 10 stitch blanket but did not like the bumps on the joins. I think maybe I will try it again because of your instructions on joining and the mitered corner.

Wonderful video. I've been watching several different videos on the 10 stitch. I have knitted it Portuguese style (garter stitch is all purls) and I've tried Eastern uncrossed style. Now I'll try it English style! Keeps my old brain cells young, LOL

Genius! I’m an experienced knitter who was ready to give up on this blanket though I loved it. Thank you for sharing your methods!

I can actually follow this - well done you shouldn't be nervous at all - you did a great job

Such a clever girl - I've been knitting for 60 odd years and never managed to knit such a great corner, by the way don't worry about the video, cos you're a great teacher x

I just sat and did my first corner with you, so much easier than faffing about with wraps and turns, thank you. It's so neat!

Thank you for simplifying this whole process. You don't come across as nervous. 😊

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This made my day! I've spent several hours trying to grasp the wrap and turn. I know it can't be that hard.....But this is brilliant!

❤ I love this method! I am a left handed knitter and so often others have a hard time teaching the wrap and turn if they are right handed. But this is so much easier. Thank you for this video!

First things frist, u are amazing! Keep calm because u are awesome! Second thank u so much to share your version... I’m an incipient knitter and all of those turns and turn again makes me sick and completely lost. Your way to do the corner its so simple and easy that I’ll give a try on this blanket. Again thank u. Sorry abt my rusty English and be blessed

You should not be nervous! Your video was wonderfully clear and descriptive. Very helpful too! Thanks for sharing your technique 😄

I FINALLY get it!! Thanks to you I FINALLY get it!!! Thank you for a video I can follow along with and understand! ♥️♥️

That is absolutely brilliant! Well done for figuring it out! So much easier doing it your way. I’m all for finding tricks and shortcuts which don’t compromise the finished product! ❣️🌹

I am so glad I have found your video about this blanket. I have been struggling with the pattern with the wraps and turns. You have made it so easy and my knitting skills better. Thanks

Awesome job!!! I am fairly new to knitting, though I learned the knit stitch years ago. You made it easy to understand & I found it easy to follow along and understand. I am going to try to make some practice pieces and see how well I can do it by following you. Thank you for taking time out of your life to help us figure out a new way. LOVE it!!!

I am so glad to see the way you do these corners. I saw yours before the other 10 Stitch blanket tutorials. If I had of seen the other ones first I would have never tried this. I love the way you do these Corners! Thank you so much.

Thank you! I’ve started 10 stitch blankets at least four times and got so frustrated by the corners. This looks much easier. I am undecided about the ridge but also think your joining video makes a nice flat blanket.

I struggled badly with the original pattern like you those wraps and turns confused me but the way you do it makes so much sense and so easy. I can’t thank you enough. Your amazing. It only took me 10mins to learn your method. I’m now hooked on them. I’m on my second blanket now. 😍

I really love the easy way you do the corners with less stress of wrapping.....it took me a few attempts to work it out.....but I've got the hang of it now.... Awesome!! Thankyou very much!! I'm on my way to making my very first 10 stitch blanket!! 😍❤️😘💝

Your doing a great job. You have nothing to be nervous about. I’ve been knitting for 60 yr’s and love your 10 stitch blanket. I hate wraps, love your way, makes more sense to me. Thank you❤️

New subscriber here!! Thank you for this fantastic video. I just learnt a new thing. I'm putting a knitted border around a crochet blanket to hide ends and it is gorgeous. thanks. xx

What an awesome mitered corner. I am a male knitter, have knitted over 40 years. Don't like wrap sts. Nice job. Thank you for sharing your technique.

I just stumbled across this modification. I absolutely love it!

wow wow wow this is so ingenious ... I didn't attempt this 10 st project because of the w&t which I mess up. I am eager to try this. I only came here because I love your cast on video and your endearing and meticulous teaching. I hope you are ok I remember reading your notes a while back and then you stopped posting. Blessings, you are a natural teacher!

Thank you for this video! I've just discovered mitered squares and am excited to try and your technique is brilliant. I think you just invented a new stitch with the knit two together, hold on needle, flip right needle to go down back of k2g, and then slide the stitch of on the right needle, knit the first stitch and yarn next to it. That's a lot. Thank goodness you made a video. You should name that process. I like how stockinette looks rather than garter so I'm going to try making this in stockinette.

Hello, I am all set with my wool and needles... I'm nervous to start, but I'm going to do a practice run first. Now..... You, you shouldn't be nervous on here. I really like your teaching approach, you make it seem so easy, your voice is good and kind, ( So many people on here who's voices grate...lol) what can I say , well thank you is a good start. I'm going to watch one more time, then I'm going to make the plunge. Merry Christmas xx

Thank you. You made this so much easier. You now have a new fan! Thank you again!

Brilliant love that you show all the knitting stitch by stitch. Thankyou

Hi, only just found your video after a friend started her 10 stitch blanket. Your way is sooo much easier than other videos I watched. I didn't even try those. Well done and keep on knitting. PS I have been knitting for 20 years and have never come across this. Good on the Internet and Utube

OMG. YOU ARE A GENIUS 🤣🤣🤣 i have pages of log winded instructions,vso gave up, THANK YOU SO MUCH CLEVER LADY 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💐💐💐💐💐💐

Thank you for uploading your 10 stitch blanket. I am very happy you tell how to knit this blanket without ridge! I like your explanation and demonstration speed. It’s easy to listen, not too fast nor too slow, and watch how you’re doing.

I tried doing a ten stitch blanket multiple times before and always ended up getting confused and quitting but your technique worked so well for me and I love how it looks! Also a great video and explanation, thank you so much!!!!

Been a crocheter since I was 7, and taught myself to knit about 11 years ago. I want to give you a BIG thank you for this video. I have tried this blanket many times on needles and failed. Not a big fan of the loom knitted version. You're doing a wonderful on your videos! Keep up the awesome job. :)

I love your instructions. So much easier to follow. Thank you so much.

Thank you for sharing these videos. I haven’t been able to start ten stick blanket because of the wraps and turn confusion. Now it’s time to give it another go. 😊

This version without wraps is very useful to me, because I have poor eyesight and can't always see what I'm knitting. Currently struggling to get the method for reducing the holes, but will try again tomorrow. I'm sure I'll get it eventually - nicely paced and explained. Thanks for describing what you are doing in words too. If I ever learn mitred corners it will be down to your instruction I'm sure.

I started my first 10 stitch blanket a couple of days ago. Wasn’t really happy with the way the seam looked. Then I stumbled across your videos on Pinterest. After watching your videos on this topic, I frogged my work and started again, this time using your techniques. So much happier with the results. Fresh eyes make a difference.

I tried to make this blanket with the help of a dozen videos and written instructions ... everybody had their own technique ... so therefore, the yarn and patterns have been stuffed in the corner of my sewing area for a 2 month timeout! I don't mind the ridge that is created in the joins, but I kept ending up with holes that bugged me. I even found a Tunisian crochet pattern that was easy and beautiful ... but again, the holes in the corners. Your version is genius ... thank you so much. I'm just finding and viewing your videos this morning, and I'm pulling my yarn back out of the corner!! Bless you!!

You're amazing. Like other commenter here, I've been knitting for over 60 years and I've Masterton a lot of techniques but w&t short rows have always been my nemesis. Your technique is outstanding! 🥰🥰🥰🥰👍

You are an extremely good teacher and I think that comes from being a bit nervous… you want us to have the explanations that you needed to become more confident. This is 5 years ago and I know you have grown in confidence and knowledge. Thanks for helping others like me ❤

Thank you so much for this easy to follow video l have spent hours trying to do a corner using the wrap method -unsuccessfully - you have made this so easy and you don’t need to feel nervous - I will definitely come to your site again if I have a problem - thank you again and keep up the good work

Thank you thank you thank you!!! That was so easy! I didn't understand my pattern so you gave me a solution - thank you thank you!!

You did so well explaining! I was getting lost with the wrap and turn as well, so I'm really glad you made this video! Thank you so much! I'm trying my hand at a blanket for the first time, so it's a huge learning experience!

Thanks so much for your wonderfully clear instructions. I was advised to find you on You Tube and I AM SO GLAD I DID.

You might feel nervous, but we don't sense it ~ very well done, and easy to follow. Thank you! Now I am going straight to Part 2. :)

Neatest look of all corners I tried so far. Thank you! I'm impressed that you've only knit for 2 years and could come up with something like that.

You do a good job explaining how to make the corner. I looked at the other ridge causing twists and wraps and I gave up. Your method makes far more sense and it is flat!! Yay!!! Thank you and your videos are at a great pace for new knitters. Thanks again!!

I am 65, and have been knitting since I was 10. I have never seen the concept you created for the 2-part mitered corners without the w&t's. (I do love w&t's but only when they are a necessity) Thank you for devising this technique! I am very impressed with you!

omg only 2 yrs??! I LOVE your tutorials they help me like I have a bf sitting next to me.

Have been knitting for 50 years and was fascinated by 10 stitch knitting . Your videos are great and explain everything so well, can’t wait to get started and will definitely follow the rest of your lessons.

I would love to see you do a video on the dreambird shawl. Your videos are so through! I love how you do the whole process were others don’t walk thru it all the way. I bought the pattern and I still am having a hard time learning how to do it. I do much better by watching. Thank you so much for your videos.

I have come back to this many times over the years for a refresher. Thank you for keeping it posted xoxo

I’m new to your channel. Mostly crochet but want to learn to knit. Your videos are inspiring and so easy to follow! I love how you explain everything in a way that actually makes sense! This is above my current knitting ability but I can’t wait to get better so I can do this. I absolutely love the way it looks. Squeaky needle… I get those too good to know it’s not me! ❤ Amazing videos. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this. I looked at so many tutorials and yours was so well explained and patient.😊

Wow only 2 years & you know all these things that I haven't yet learned in 6 yrs! Best vids ever! I had foot surgery yesterday & so will be marathininig you all day while I knit on a current wip then start learning some new easy peasy things...thanx much! :)

This is so simple , I just wasn't getting all those wraps and turns, Now I can do the 10 stitch blanket. Thank you so much for sharing this video, you are a great teacher, keep up the great work and the videos.

I absolutely hate wrap and turns, I hate most methods of short rows. But this... THIS might be the answer I've been looking for. I hope it works for turning a heel on socks. 😀

Thank you so much for uploading this, I've been trying to wrap w&t around my head for weeks now and I barely understand it. This makes way more sense and won't have that annoying bump.

Really nice to see a new knitter showing us older knitters how to do things a better way. Thanks. And I agree that I get lost in the W and T business.

Very good to mess up a lot when knitting. You learn so much.

Thankyou so much ,I have succeeded up to the point of the video, and now I do not know what to do to continue. You are a great teacher.

Thank you so much, this is a much easier way. I consider myself to be an experienced knitter but found the twist and turn very confusing. This is a much easier way.

I found this on accident looking at 10-stitch using looms, which I finally figured out after finding someone that explained it so well. I've wanted to try knitting since elementary school...looong time ago...when I was taught but never did after my friends aunt went back to England. Because of this video I ordered some needles and going to give it another shot. Hope it's really as easy as you make it look!

I was determined I would get going on a ten stitch to use up my small balls of yarn. I am patient and love to learn no skills but I thought I was going to give it up entirely. Thank heavens, after downloading three versions of the pattern I could not make any sense of and watching at least a dozen RU-vids - I eventually found you. You have produced first class videos in a language I can understand. I have lost count of the number of times I have unravelled my yarn and started again. So often that the first ball had do go to the bin as it was in a sorry state! Thank you so much for sharing your skills in this way. I have been knitting for over forty years and never have had as much difficulty with a pattern. Here you are and after two years you have been able to get this technique, Improve on the method of the turns and vastly improve on the method of joining, you are a real star and you are a talented knitter and teacher. No need for you to be nervous about anything in knitting or demonstrating. I have reworked patterns myself and rewritten sections after translating them into my own kind of English! I know well the hours you put in to succeed with these reworks. You are so generous with your time and your talent too and for that I am very grateful.

So much easier! I was reluctant to try the 10 stitch blanket because I didn't like the obvious ridge. Your way looks so much better and more finished. I'm using my massive stash of LB Homespun and it is so soft and squishy.Thank you thank you thank you!

So for 40 years I’ve only been able to knit straight lines. Lots of scarves and blankets! But now I want to put a border around the blanket I’ve knitted for my nephew’s new baby. Thank you, thank you, thank you for talking me through how to knit a corner! I’ve done it and it looks fantastic!! I’m so happy I’ve done it but it’s all thanks to you 😘😘🧶xxx

Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed it and am now knitting a 10 stitch blanket, thanks to you.

Awesome video. I'm loving this!!! Doing some practice stuff.

I have tried to learn this forever but was always confused by other tutorials and books...you explained this in such an easy way that I have now learned to make this finally! thank you so much for the wonderful video and for taking the time to go through the whole process step by step....very much appreciated!

This is the best video yet!! All the others are terrible and you’re amazing! Thank you so much!!

thanks for making it so clear and easy to follow. W&T is a nightmare for me- this is so much easier.

You did a great job!! No need to have been nervous!! I have watched so many videos in this and FINALLY yours clicked. You made it so easy to keep track without counting or getting confused. Thank you so much!!!

Absolutely brilliant! I've knitted for longer than I care to admit and have never been comfortable with W&T short rows -- or any other version I've tried. Like you, I have a hard time spotting the wraps and using dozens of markers, or counters (which I forget to advance) just wasn't cutting it. This is so easy to do and your instructions are great! Thank you for overcoming your fears and showing us how!

I love your detailed tutorial. So often I've begun to knit a 10 stitch blanket and finished up throwing my work into a corner. Now I'm confident that I can actually do this! Thank you so much.

Wanted to inform you, I finally knitted my first ten stitch blanket. You were one of the few that inspired and your videos helped me. Would like to show you the pics, but don't know how to post them.

My Brain has exploded. I have been wanting to make a blanket and I saw 10 Stich blankets for looms. But didn't like how they were coming out so I always trashed my projects. I just picked up knitting about a month ago and Thanks to your video I've done 18 inches of my blanket. Your video makes it so easy to understand how to do the 10 stich blanket. My brain just couldn't grasp the whole Wrap and turn thing but my brain has the grasp on your method thank you so much. You have a subscriber in me Keep up the great work

Charlotte, you are a great demonstrator for showing knitting. So easy to "get it" because of your showing every step. Love your videos. Oh, I hate wraps too. They confuse me.

THANK YOU !!!!!!! I have tried to do this so many times & always messed up. But I got it now. Thank you again .

I really love this, it's so simple and neat. I've used it for a ribbed border too. Thank you!

Thank you for the video, essentially you are wrapping on the second half of the corner, as when you slip them off the yarn wraps that stitch, I really like the way you have done this. I admit I found the pattern confusing as written, and had to make up some of my own "work arounds"

it is very helpful seeing the whole process and not cutting away

This is so much nicer than the wrap and turn method! But I would like to know(a video) or technique on how you joined it together without it being a big square spiral?
