You are an AMAZING teacher and the videos you produce are so clear and understandable. Thank you for these lovely videos. I hope you make many, many more.
Thank you so much, Leigh, for your kind feedback and an interesting question in your email! If I understood correctly, you were using Judy's c/o and working the 1x1 rib in the opposite directions from this c/o, which created an unpleasant "seam"-like look due to a shift. The pattern suggests to proceed with the rib right after the c/o. However, if you make 1(or possibly even 2) regular knit stitch rows first in each direction (but still work the edge stitches like it said in the pattern - with the slip sts) and then switch to the rib, the shift will be less apparent and you might like it better. (Also, just a nuance, for the knit st rows you might want to use a bigger needle size - to match the 1x1 rib sts size.) Let me know how it worked for you. Meanwhile I'll think how to tackle it in some other way. :)
Also, please check this video: th-cam.com/video/pkwk3ryElcQ/w-d-xo.html I worked the 1x1 rib in the opposite direction jogless and without a 1/2 stitch offset. For your project use a provisional c/o, then work a few rows of the rib like in your pattern, then remove the provisional part and graft the rib in the opposite direction like I did in the video. Let me know if this is helping.
Those first row knit stitches, “from right to left” are often described as “knit through the back” in English. Just mentioning, but your English is so wonderful please do not think I mean it as anything but a suggestion! I have been subscribed for a few years but am only just getting back into knitting, after many years away from the craft. (Retirement frees up A LOT of time!) Please allow me to compliment you on your knowledge, expertise, and patterns. Thank you, from 🇨🇦 😊
Thank you so much, Theresa, for your kind comment! In the 1st row the knit stitches are in an unusual position - they are facing right - or, in other words, the front side of the stitches is turned right. That’s why to avoid twisting them, they are worked "from right to left", it is still through the front of the stitches (through the front loop). "Through the back loop" would be, for example, kfb, or twisted knit stitches, when the knit stitches are facing left (the usual position) and you insert the right needle from right to left or through the back of the stitches. I mentioned it in the latest video: REVERSIBLE TWISTED Rib 1x1 JOGLESS in the Round. ITALIAN cast-on. th-cam.com/video/0sylXfw4wJM/w-d-xo.html. Thank you again for your kind suggestion and wishes! ☺️
I would knit a swatch approximately 30 stitches wide to get an idea of how the ribbing would look with your yarn and needle size, and you can measure how many stitches you have in 10 cm /or 4 inches. An average scarf could be about 20-30 cm wide. So if you know how many stitches are in 10 cm, you can double or triple it for the scarf.
Hello! Thank you so much for the in-depth tutorial! I haven’t ribbed before and i am just wondering why it is that you are slipping off the first knit stitch in the row, what does that do?
Thank you so much for this video! I would like to make this scarf but with stripes of 2 different colors. Any tips on the best way to carry up the yarn at the side with this edge method? 😊
Hi Lora! A am very glad you like the scarf! I think carrying the yarn along this selvedge would make the selvedge a bit thicker, and if the yarn colours are very contrasting it could be visible (unlike in a sweater where you could hide it in the seam). Maybe, a 2-stitch I-cord selvedge could better help to hide the "other" colour inside.
Beautiful work! Do I understand correctly that it’s just the first two rows where the needle is inserted in a different direction, and on subsequent rows the stitches are as usual?
Thank you, Wendy! Yes, only in the first row after the cast-on row, because there the knit stitches are facing right, so you will avoid twisting them. All the following rows as usual.
Beginner knitter here, I’m having trouble keeping track of which stitch I did last sometimes. Is there another way of distinguishing between the purl and knit stitch?
I think practice and observation are best, working slowly, and you’ll get used to it. I would practice with light coloured cotton yarn, it has the best stitch definition. Once you master it with cotton, then working with any other yarn will be easy.
One of the best tutorials I’ve seen on TH-cam! Thank you so much for your hard work, and your patience in teaching!

This tutorial is amazing, thank you!!! ❤I'm a beginner, and I wanted to ask you if you blocked the scarf after finishing the bind off.
Thank you! Yes, I always wash and block all my knits after I finish them.😊
Hi there, love the tutorial. This is my first try. I just want to ask I have a 2.25mm needle and 3ply yarn. How many stitches would you recommend?
I would knit a swatch approximately 30 stitches wide to get an idea of how the ribbing would look with your yarn and needle size, and you can measure how many stitches you have in 10 cm /or 4 inches. An average scarf could be about 20-30 cm wide. So if you know how many stitches are in 10 cm, you can double or triple it for the scarf.

Hello, it’s one of the many ways to work the selvage stitch, in this particular case it makes the edge look neat, prevents flared edges 😊
Thank you so much for this video! I would like to make this scarf but with stripes of 2 different colors. Any tips on the best way to carry up the yarn at the side with this edge method? 😊

Would you use this cast on/ bind off for an in the round cowl?
Yes! Check out my playlists - I have videos on both c/o and b/o in the round.
Can you use straight needles for this pattern? Thanks!
Yes!

@@irinarevo thank you!
Purl has a collar neck around it, knit is more v shaped, don't know if it helps

I am knitting a muffler. 2x2 Ribbed straight. not in round.
Casting 55 stitches meaning each stitch right? Or each set
Right. It’s the total stitch count.
