Knitting tutorials from The Wellknit Co., a company founded on the conviction of knitting’s unique ability to expand satisfaction, wellness, and sense of community in a workplace setting. Given our overly-stimulated minds, an opportunity to step away from a desk and focus on an activity that is three-dimensional, tactile, and relaxing also allows the mind to wander just enough to return to work refreshed and inspired.
A Wellknit session will help you ground yourself in the present, share an experience with colleagues, and disconnect for a moment from a hectic day-and leave with a me-made accessory.

Binding off in the Round
Binding off your knitting in the round is much the same as binding off when you knit flat pieces, but with an additional step when you weave in your ends to make a truly invisible join that matches the rest of the edge.
Remember to bind off loosely!

Joining in the Round
มุมมอง 734 ปีที่แล้ว
The first step to knitting in the round is joining in the round! Here we show you our favorite method that yields an almost invisible join, and is incredibly sturdy. Remember to always cast one 1 extra stitch than what the pattern calls for with this method. Knitting in the round allows you to knit in a continuous spiral, to make accessories and garments that are generally tube-shaped. Hats, sw...
Invisible seaming in Stockinette stitch

Knits + Purls!
มุมมอง 374 ปีที่แล้ว
Some very simple ways we can combine knits and purls in a project to create new textures. From alternating rows to make stockinette stitch, to alternating stitches to make seed stitch and ribbing.

Purl Stitch
มุมมอง 1494 ปีที่แล้ว
The purl stitch is the second foundation stitch in knitting. Here, we're learning how to do it English style, with the working yarn held in the right hand. Purling is the reverse of knitting and Stockinette stitch is a fabric created when you knit one row, and then purl the next (which is on the reverse side) - yielding a fabric where all your stitches are facing the same way. Unlike garter sti...

How to use a yarn cake
มุมมอง 3.1K4 ปีที่แล้ว
If you've bought a Wellknit Kit or attended one of our workshops, your yarn comes to you in a form of a cake - yum! These are created on a ball winder (handy tool to own if you're knitting a lot of yarn that comes in twisted skein/hank form) and here we show you two ways to use your cake.

Excellent - clear demonstration.
I tightened the stitches and it made it worse. What did I do wrong?
Thank you.
i'm using circular needles for the first time and they feel so strange
Thank you for this! I've never used a yarn cake before, and was puzzled as to what was the best way to pull from. As far as the yarn rolling when you pull from the outside, I made my own "yarn bowl" from a washed out coffee can I sit on the floor by my chair. No rolling away!
I bet your yarn smells DELICIOUS - bonus!!! Just make sure there are no sharp edges to get the yarn caught on! ❤️
THANK YOU! This was VERY HELPFUL, particularly by showing what to do with the ends after you're done joining!!! 😃
I'm a beginner knitter and I saw a tutorial on a knitted collared shirt and it requires two needles which are 3mm (40 cm) and 3mm (60 cm), since they are of the same needle diameter does the length of the cable really matter? I can't afford interchangeables as of the moment.
Without seeing the pattern, we can't give precise recommendations. However, I am assuming the longer circular will be used on the body, and the shorter for the sleeves. You can probably get away with just the longer pair, but you might need a cable or waste yarn to hold your live stitches at some point.
I love this! Thank you! How many stitches in each row did you do for your garter scarf? Thanks ☺️
We do 22 stitches of chunky wool (Quince & Co. Puffin) on size US 15 needles!
Bravo 👋 c'est tout à fait cela qu'il faut faire pour avoir une couture invisible. Merci ❤ 👍
Thank you. Really helped 🥺🤪
I like to use 9 inch straights for my small projects. I have circular needles for anything else. 😁
im using cake style yarn for the first time and i wasn't sure if i pull from the center or the outside. I went with center pull ( mandala ombre yarn ) and i was moving right along until like you said the cake starts to flatten . that is exactly what happened to me last night as i was working through my first cake . The label loosened and the yarn came out in a HUGE MESS!!!! I spent 6 hours trying to untangle it all . I ended up having to cut the yarn many many times and i formed 3 small balls trying to match the colorway of the cake. It was a MESS! I don't want to go through that again in my 5 remaining cakes! Should I ball them up right before i use them or just pull from the outside? HELP !!!!!
We much prefer pulling from the outside of a yarn cake, which avoids the inevitable collapse! However, if you’re working with an ombré yarn, you sometimes *want* the inside color first. In those cases, we definitely recommend re-winding the yarn. There are also these handy products called “yarn cake keepers” that are basically a stretchy tube (a large cut up sock would probably work just as well) that goes over your cake to keep the collapse from becoming too tangly.
@@thewellknitco.4428 omgosh ty so much for responding. Those are all great tips. I have never heard of a " yarn cake keeper" def going to look into that. For now i'll be cutting one of my husbands socks lol 🙋🏼♀️😂😎 if that doesn't work you'll find me in the corner balling up all of my yarn lol
@@michellesanchez741 You're welcome! Have no fear, you are never the first knitter to come across a problem like this. FYI, sometimes they're called yarn cake cozies if you're Googling to buy.
I generally knit with circular needles...However, there are times when I enjoy using my beautiful knit picks straights. They feel so nice in my hands, and are so pretty... I love them.
this was the only vid i could find that showed how to end it thank you sm
So glad it was helpful! Whip-stitching and then burying the end in the “tunnel” it creates is a really great way to end a lot of seaming - neat, plus it makes sure your end is really secure!
Thank you - this was well done.
Thanks so much, Janet! Let us know if there are any other techniques you'd like us to cover.
I just starting using circular needles and I absolutely love them! so much easier than straight.
We agree! Hope you are finding them a little more versatile and the added convenience and ease will mean MORE projects for you!
