Thank you for focussing on the explanation and for omitting the music 😊
I 👍 agree. This is wonderful, thank you very much. Your knitting is perfection! It is clear and easy to see as well. Thanks so grateful.
One of the most useful videos on youtube. i keep coming back to it and make all my thumb gussets in this way. Thankyou for giving great detailed lessons Suzanne. much appreciated.
Awesome, thank you! Happy Holidays.
I love the way Suzanne Bryan does this demo. How she explains all she is doing and makes it so simple to follow. Her demo never goes off camera.
Hi Suzanne, THANK YOU for one of the best tutorials for closing the gap for the thumb gussets. I don't know why knitters, including myself, always seem to have issues with this. Love the camera-work and your thorough instructions and knitting skills. A big THANK YOU for not rushing through this technique. Last, but not least, your voice is very calm and soothing and a pleasure to listen to while learning this technique
Thank you CW. I work really hard to make crystal clear videos. That is what I look for in the videos that I watch, and I find it lacking in many. So I really concentrate on speaking clearly and going slow. Thank you for the feedback, it makes making my videos worth while. Happy knitting.
This is the clearest and most helpful knitting video I have watched. Much better than the ones where people are trying to become popular personalities, and go on about their aunt's cousin's friend's Chihuahua.
Lol, I do throw in a grandchild's name every so often, but I am definitely mum on my aunt's cousin's friend's Chihuahua! Thanks so much for the great feedback, Lynda! ❤️
Thank you, Suzanne, for your many knitting tutorials. Love your tutorials b/c they are 'uncluttered', free of obnoxious music, chatter over-load, clear, concise, and beautiful visuals. I learned toe up sock knitting from you and now thinking about a pair of mittens, I always know where to come to for expert knitting tips. Thanks again for time and effort you put into all your wonderful videos.
Thank you so much!
Always love your tutorials! When I’m in any doubt, your channel is the one I go to. Your instructions are clear, precise & easy to see without all the “fluff” added. Thank you for sharing all your wisdom. Cheers 😊❤️🥰😘😍💕
Your kind feedback is so appreciated, Joan, thank you! ❤️❤️
Hi Suzanne,
You are so calm and make things look so easy.
Thanks,
J
Suzanne is my go to channel for knitting advice, especially tricky problems. Clear, practical and always solves the problem. Thanks!
Yay, I love being the 'go to gal'! Thanks for the great feedback, Anita! ❤️
I started knitting 2 years ago so I am new to the “sport”, although I have crocheted for almost 40 years. This thumb gusset tutorial is the BEST!! I use it every time I make fingerless mittens. Out of all the video instruction on TH-cam for me yours are the perfect mix of speed and detailed instruction. Thank you!!
Thank you so much. You are a very adventurous knitter. You might want to join my Facebook group - Knitting with Suzanne Bryan. We talk a lot about knitting skills in that group.
@@SuzanneBryan thank you. I appreciate your encouragement. requested to join the Facebook group.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for going very SLOWLY AND having the camera view UPCLOSE!!! you are an EXCELLENT TEACHER!
Probably the clearest explanation of increase stitches I have seen. Thank you.
You are so welcome, CS! I appreciate your kind feedback! 😊
Suzanne now I understand what I need to do to do the gusset you are such a good teacher. you take your time and explain really well.
Excellent. Thank you! Happy knitting.
I agreed good teacher ,,,thank you
Thanks so much , Suzanne! This is the best tip ever and you explain and demonstrate it perfectly. I love to make mitts. Now I know what to do with the extra Yarn on each side of the gusset as I bring it together. I’m glad I found you.
Thank you so much! Happy knitting.
Perfect explanation of the thumb gusset! Thank you so much! Now I can knit gloves and mittens on the fly. Also, great tip for closing the gap on raglan sleeves. I agree with Franca Perotti - you explain so well. Perfectly paced!
Thank you. Happy knitting.
Thank you for showing how to compare to your hand to get a true fit. This is the first time I feel like I can actually make gloves that fit. Lots of love to you 🧡
This gave me a great visual on the printed directions. I am such a visual learner. Thanks for a great demonstration of the M1 L and R.
You are very welcome. Thank you! Happy knitting.

I know I'm not ready for this yet, but thank goodness for TH-cam and for your teaching. I know I'll get there eventually, and I'll be back. Thanks for posting.
You will get there. Happy knitting.
You are a really good teacher, thank you for making this comprehensible to a beginner. You answered every question I had. I also appreciated when you zoomed in to show what you were doing better. I will knit along with you and rewind this a lot I imagine.
Thank you. Happy Knitting.
At last, someone who really clearly explains something without leaving things out. Thank you so much!
Thank you! Happy knitting.
Thank you for making a thumb so much easier... perfect photography
Thank you! Be sure to subscribe if you haven't already. Happy knitting.
What an excellent tutorial! I also love how you showed us how to read the knitting.
To me, being able to read your knitting is the key to everything! Happy knitting.
This is a real knitting lesson. As you taught the thinking behind the stitches, and how to recognise them, it has helped me to understand what I'm doing!
Thank you 🌻
Glad it was helpful! Be sure to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already, happy knitting.
Your videos are always so helpful (and appreciated). Merci beaucoup!
clear images, clear steps, well designed video...but best of all you knit the same way I learned (continental) and I can literally follow step by step. I could FEEL how it's done!
That is so wonderful! Happy Knitting.
Hi Suzanne, thank you for this excellent tutorial. I've been knitting mittens and gloves for years, and never thought of working the thumb gusset in this manner. You are an excellent teacher. Your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. I also like your straight forward approach in that you get right to the instructions. In my opinion, you have the best knitting videos on TH-cam. Thank you!
Thank you Nancy Post! Happy knitting.
You are so talented. A great teacher also. Thank you!!
Thank you, Suzanne! Your lessons are wonderful. I so appreciate your help! Buying you a coffee is a tiny way of saying a HUGE THANK YOU!
Thank you Christina Gray! Happy knitting.
Finally, a tutorial that I can understand! I'm a continental knitter so I'm doubly grateful for your video. Now I can finally stop avoiding the thumb gusset.
That is great. Thank you! Happy knitting.

You are so welcome, Mateusz K! And thank you for your very kind feedback. 😊
You make it easy to understand. I've been wanting to try knitting some gloves but was afraid of the thumb gusset. lol...Now I understand how to use the 2 circular needles...definitely going to try making gloves.
Very cool. Hugs and Happy Knitting!
Very well done video. Thank you.
Happy knitting.
Just needed my first pair of fingerless mitts. Now, looking to improve in this video shows me how thank you
Thank you, Suzanne, for explaining and demonstrating the creation of a thumb gusset. Very well done, I needed this, took good notes. Thanks again!! Sally in Portland, Oregon.
thank you! this was so helpful
You're so welcome! Happy Holidays.
Seriously, I have knit mittens for 50+ years and this is the best method for thumb gussets I've ever seen. I can't understand the negative responses (maybe they can show their method on youtube). Thanks so much!!!!
Thank you! Yes, I have to be a little thick skinned. But, because of knitters like you, I continue to share my techniques. Have a great day and happy knitting!
Excellent video on thumb gussets, Suzanne. Thank you!
Thank you Amy. Happy Knitting,
Suzanne

Thank you Susan. Happy knitting. Be sure to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already.
This is a wonderful tutorial! I have yet to get to this part of my fingerless glove but I will definitely be using this as a guide!
Wonderful! Happy Knitting.
Where have you been all my knitting life!!! What a spectacular and comprehensive demo. Kudos and thank you Suzanne!
+Andrea Orlick thank you! Happy knitting!

Thank you! Happy knitting.
You are a masterful teacher. Thanks for sharing your deep understanding.

After watching this AMAZING tutorial on finishing the thumb gusset, I will now have the most perfect thumbs on my fingerless mitts & mittens! Gussets were the bane of my existence until now.....thank you so much for this amazing tutorial!
Thank you! Be sure to share my videos on your social media. Happy knitting.
such a helpful video and pattern- can't say thank you enough. Perfect in all respects
Thank you for wonderful video and the pattern! I know mittens, but this was great..like having a friend sit next to me instead of being all alone! Very kind of you. Rose in NJ.
That is wonderful! Happy knitting.
Outstanding Tutorial!!!!!!!!!!! It's very well explained. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! Happy knitting.

Thank you for this tutorial. It is exactly what I needed to learn to finish the first fingerless mitt of a pair for my husband. I like how you enlarge the screen to show details of what you are doing. I know I will refer to this video again for the second mitt!
Wonderful! Happy Holidays.
You're a very good knitting teacher!
Your tutorials are great, thank you
This is another great video of yours. I'm so excited to get knitting more "advanced" items. So far I've only made hats, cowls and right now I'm making a sweater. I'll be making matching mittens to go with one of the hats next. But, can you explain why you would use two circular needles instead of the magic loop?
It is personal preference only. You can use either one, or even dpns. Happy Knitting.
@@SuzanneBryan I'm new at knitting and can't quite figure out HOW you use 2 sets of circulars. I'm notcsure how you would cast on. I love fingerless gloves(they're the reason I've learned to knit!)and really want to master this thumb gusset,,I've just never seen the 2 sets of circulars used ,and I'm confused !!
(Also,I've never used dpn's,,don't even own any~They intimidate me! I have many sets of circulars,,16in and longer). Thanks in advance~!!
@@vivienneclarke2421 ha ha! I only use DPNs- Isn't it fun and funny how we all have our own way to get the same result. But yes, Suzanne is really an excellent mentor-Trust her!
@@injoycards Yes,,it really is funny~!!
I'm self taught,,from yt videos only,,and even tho I'm left handed I've taught myself how to knit right handed to make it easier down the road lol,,so I knit in this weird combo of both left and right handedness😂 High 5 to you for mastering DPN's they will probably always scare me~!!!
Suzanne's vids have been a tremendous help to me along the way~!!!🌟
Thank you so much, for a wonderful presentation, for a peaceful voice, thank you for everything!
You are so kind to say this, Irina, thank you! ❤️
Very, very nice finishing techniques! You have an eye for detail that really leaves the finished item polished. Thank you for this tutorial. Looking forward to the others to bring my knitting to a higher level.
Thank you!
Wonderful instructions, thank you so much. Do you have a pattern for mittens I would gladly buy it.
It is not a pattern, it is a tutorial so that you can use any yarn and needles to create your own personally fitted fingerless mitt. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fingerless-mitt-tutorial
Cristal clear tutorial; thank you so much!
Just one question: when you are making two 2 plain rounds after increasing , what that is meaning? Are they extra- not Including the one with increasing ?
Thank you for your kind answer!
It means, work an increase round, then work two rounds with no increases.
It is a 3 round sequence.
Knitting with Suzanne Bryan ,
Thank you! That’s I was supposing!
I’m working on dark blue yarn and it’s difficult to count the stitches.
I’m so glad to learn and make it by your méthode !
The French will tell “il n’y a pas photo” - there can’t be compared !
My old one , learned from a granny from Moldavia, 40 years ago!
Chilly waving from Evian!
I’m knitting in the ferry on the way home from Lausanne!
Enjoying your tutorials, Suzanne!
Hugs
Although I was close, you gave me the instructions to finish my gloves with perfection. Thank you! ❤️
Excellent! Happy Knitting.
Another wonderful explanation, Ms Bryan. As always, so clear both descriptively and visually.
Thank you kindly, Anne, I appreciate your kind feedback! ❤️
Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge. And I love your method of weaving in the ends. Every since I saw your Kitchener stitch video for sock toes I always weaving my ends in this way now. I have also used it to close up holes.
Wonderful! Happy knitting.
