For anyone asking: A steek is a guide to help you define the cut line. You reinforce it so the stitches don't fall apart after you cut. Especially great for working colourwork patterns so you can maintain tension, and you don't have to purl or interrupt the knitting in fair isle. The lines are usually knit in and a button and, or whatever band you want, is applied after.
All youtube instructional videos should be made this way-- clear, concise,no nonsense, without extra sound bytes to detract. I may be able to steek right now without reviewing any notes. So well done... thank you.
You are the Bob Ross of knitting. I could watch you for hours. Your knowledge is encyclopaedic and your voice so perfect for teaching. I am learning so much through your videos. Thank you so much.
When I google a technique and Suzanne Bryan is listed, I always watch that one! Your videos are measured, concise and easy to follow. You are definitely an inspirational knitter and have so much knowledge and talent. Thank you for being such a great teacher!
I'm just about to cut my first steek. I'm so glad I found this video. I have spent 2 days working up the nerve to cut my knitting! Oh the sweat and anxiety. Thank you so much for posting this, I feel confident enough to do this❤
I have been knitting, crocheting and sewing all my very long life, but one can learn something new every day. I like the way the steek is crocheted, much better than the way I have done it since 1958.
Even though this video was uploaded 5 years ago, It was so helpful for me today, especially picking up stitches part. Thanks for your instructional explanation. :)
Such a brilliantly clear lesson and so thoughfully planned. It was great to see the non reinforced example too. They fear and mystery of steeking has just faded away for me completely - THANK YOU
I'm so geateful for your videos. It's like having my very own supergranny online. My granny thought me to knit, but I never learned to read a partern. So, I make my own. And thats great, for the stuff I know, not so great if the other bits. I just learned how to do this. Thank you so much
Suzanne clearly & specifically shows how to reinforce, cut & pick up stitches from a steek. The video is excellent! The demonstration and video are paced perfectly. I especially enjoyed the close ups! This is the BEST steeking video I've seen. Thanks so very much, Suzanne!
Dear Suzanne, You are a fabulous knitter and a great teacher. Very good pace, clear concise instructions and beautiful results. I run a FB called Chiaogoo Divas and we love your videos I am an advanced designer knitter & now going to do Fairisle with Steeking and lace insertions- a real challenge! Your sweater gave me the courage!
Thank you so much for a great video. I really appreciate you zooming in so we could get a really clear look at what you were doing this was super helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful tutorial. I was worried about steeking a hem in order to create a split hem on a sweater I'm making but now I feel confident it won't fall apart after watching this. :)
@@SuzanneBryan Dear Susan, i've got another question about steeking: I've got eleven Steek stitches and I feel it's too much because that will get bulky. So my idea ist to make two cuts in the steek. One on the left side and one on the right side of the steek by securing them with a crochet Line. Ist that possible or do I do a thinking mistake? I hope you understand what I mean😂 Many greetings from germany 🇩🇪 Andrea
@@andrealengemann7521 make a little swatch and try it on the swatch first. In my opinion, you will be fine with the 11 steek stitches, but go ahead and make a little sample to try first and see what you think.
@@SuzanneBryan thank you very much for that great idea and your very quick answer, I will try this at once. I have a lot of Samples where I can Test it😍👋
Thank you for such a clear and concise and friendly tutorial - I have searched through quite a few - about to do my first steek - and thanks to you - I feel I am ready NOW!
@@SuzanneBryan I did subscribe right away - and I did the steeking - and it was really FUN and successful - I will share a photo when the project is completed!
Still kind of investigating what do do at the end with the folded over sections to keep them laying flat and smooth - do you have instructions for that too? Just baste them down with some stitches or something more serious than that?
Once you pick up stitches along the design edge, the steeked stitches will naturally fold to the back. YOu can whip stitch them in place, or do nothing. If you used the crochet edge prior to cutting, the edge should be just fine. Try on a swatch and see what you think.
I taught myself to knit and have managed to ‘get by’ but since I have been watching your lessons, I have realised that I have much to learn. Thank you for explaining techniques tin such detail at pace that is manageable. I am amazed that you offer so much of your time to help people to learn and improve. Many of the techniques that you demonstrate, I have never come across before now. I now subscribe to your site and know that I shall become an avid follower, as well as introduce friends. Thank you, Suzanne.
That was SUPERB! There are so many tutorials on steeking but not the preparation for the steek and I thought that this was excellent, easy to follow, well photographed, and very well explained. Thank you so much for this.
Hello sweet and generous lady I have not seen you but I love you My repentance is far away, but I am close to you I am a woman from Iran, despite the severe filtering and colonialism of knowledge, I follow the tutorials from TH-cam. I learned the excellent cutting method from you and taught it to others. Many women became happy because of you. I thank you with all my heart and soul. I wish you the best. سلام من از ایران هستم . کشور خورشید .زن زندگی ازادی#
I know this is an older video.... I really like your channel. You have the natural ability to mix the color palettes very well. Its a common theme in your knit work... Very good color profiles. I think being able to create structurally accurate and visually pleasing garments... sets you apart from other.
Thank you so much for making this video. I made the Spice cardigan for my husband months ago, but got stuck when it came time to reinforcing the steek. This video made so much sense to me after watching several others which didn’t. 😊
This is an outstanding video. All of your videos are! I still can't get over them. You have SO much valuable information that you so kindly share. Thank you so much!
You are very articulate. Great tutorial. This was my first time watching you. I hope you are feeling happier now. You sound so sad here. You definitely deserve some joy, especially bc this video shows you genuinely do want to help others learn new things.
This video is such a lifesaver. I know this isn't the intended purpose, but I use this method to cut and rejoin my knitting when it turns out way too big, which is every time lol.
This is fantastic! Thank you so much! I've been very nervous to try any pattern that requires steeks because the thought of cutting into the work is a bit daunting, to say the least. This actually rendered it harmless in my mind. It's not remotely as horrifying as it seemed to me, so thank you!
Thank you so much for this! I've watched about two dozen steeking videos to prepare for my first cardigan steek and yours was definitely the clearest - I feel a lot less nervous now! Was originally planning on using a sewing machine because I'd heard that was the most secure way to reinforce, but I'm not very familiar with sewing and was not looking forward to it. I do know how to crochet though and this looks so much easier and definitely looks secure enough for me!
Wonderful video! The close-ups are key and your approach made everything so visible and clear. This is just the confidence boost I needed for my first steek. Thank you very much.
This was just so very helpful. I have used a back stick before to reinforce the edge but I really like how the crocheted stitching looks. Thank you for sharing all your great knowledge and skills.
You are a master, Suzanne, thank you! I just subscribed. Every time I want to learn something new in knitting, I look for your videos first - they are always the most clear, concise, yet thorough tutorials. 😊
I really appreciate your vids! I am learning to knit as I go, and when I come across new things,( one of the things I love about knitting is that I can always learn more), your vids have been so helpful! Thanks :)
Thank you so much Suzanne! This makes me a lot less uneasy, about having to cut the steek on my own project, which I've never done before. Love from Denmark
This is just what I needed! Thank you for making this video. I've been knitting a coat in the round and was quite nervous to cut my knitting, especially since I've never used a sewing machine. After watching your clear video I feel completely confident in the next step, all without using a machine!
Amazing! Over year I had finished the nordic cardigan form my husband and still not ready to wear, beacuse i was pretty confused how to deal with the steek ( pattern dispalay sewing machine method and i wasnt familiar with that ). This is supereasy! Thanks a lot for sharing with us.
Thank you for the tutorial Suzanne! I've done Norwegian style knitting and steeking before, but I'd forgotten how to do it and your method was so easy. I will definitely take advantage of your pickup stitch calculator you mentioned. I'm attempting something a little crazy. I knit the tube with the steeking for the cardigan and the armholes, but instead of just picking up the stitches along the edge I'm attempting to slant them so that I can do a wide buttonhole band in a long cardigan style. Wish me luck!
I love your clear instructions! I'm ready to steek a cardigan that has a six column (even number instead of odd number of stitches) steek and wonder what adjustments I might need to be aware of in executing the steek.
You can do it with an even number of stitches, you would just crochet the column of stitches to the left of center and the column of stitches to the right. In the future, you might find it easier to prepare the steek when it has an odd number of stitches.
You are very welcome Deborah Mccall. Thank you and Happy knitting. Be sure to check out my new channel for live-streaming - Suzanne - Off the Cuff th-cam.com/channels/QBgFUvQzjz1RUm9NsgEA1A.html
Thank you, i am knitting one of the sweaters in Poetry of Stitches and am afraid to cut. I like your crocheting to reinforce both side of the cut line. beautiful work, Thank you.
That is one of my favorite books. Be sure to join my Facebook group Knitting with Suzanne and post pictures of your sweater so we can all admire it! Happy knitting.
Great tutorial!! Thank you! Could you make a video on advice on how many stitches wide should a steek be, specially on fair isle colorwork. I also heard of checkerboard and alternating lines of the color but not sure on how to create the checkerboard specifically..
I have tried both and compared (not on video), the checkerboard looks cool, but in reality it makes it more difficult to see where you are going to reenforce, so I stick with the stripes
Exactly the tutorial I need for making the Laura Jacket from Camilla Vad. Thank you very much! I wonder if instead of buttons can add a zip? Do I have to knit the borders and sew the zip into them or can I just sew the zip directly on the folded edges?
I've been wanting to knit a particular jumper for ages now but was scared cause there was steeking involved but I'm feeling so much more confident about it now. The pattern uses a sewing machine for steeking the armholes and im assuming I can use this method instead as my sewing machine is awful. Your colourwork is gorgeous! 🥰

Especially great for working colourwork patterns so you can maintain tension, and you don't have to purl or interrupt the knitting in fair isle.
