I knit my hem in by knitting them together, this saves me the hemming. Works with most projects.. If you decrease every other row before & after you can make an awesome picot brim for bonnet style hats (infant, toddlers or older).
Saving hemming is always nice even though it makes a wonderful look. I'm not sure how you'd knit your hem in knitting them together. You don't mean fold and then doing something like picking up the stitches the row above and knitting them do you? Hope you get a chance to anser and if so, thanks :)
@@melvinbeli1 If you knit hem-up, then you can use a provisional cast on so that when you fold your hem, you put one live stitch from your cast-on row onto your needle and knit it together with the next stitch from your needle until you've worked all your stitches together. You end up with the closed hem and the same number of stitches you started with, then continue on knitting your sweater/arm/etc.
What a great video :D I'm going to use this for the cuff and hem of my next sweater, whenever I can find a pattern to match my yarn. The stripe idea is fantastic! Thanks :D
There are different ways to work a picot cast-on, but I don't currently have any videos on that. I can add it to the list for upcoming videos. Thank you for the suggestion!
Wonder if it would not be easier to pick up - after the same amount of rows above the picot knitting - the cast on stitches and knit them together with the stitches on the needle?
Whether you use a straight or bend-tip tapestry needle, it's really just a matter of personal preference. I like the way the bent-tip picks up the stitches. I believe both kinds are available online on the Knit Picks website.
The easiest way to add a motif to knitting would be to use duplicate stitch. You can go to my channel page and search for "Knitting Help - Duplicate Stitch". That should help. I also will be releasing a video very soon on reading charts.
Staci u look even more stunning in this vid! the colors around are makes you radiant. thanks for the vid. I´ve learned a lot from you. I´m knitting Jean Greenhowe´s victorian Dolls and as you can imagine their dresses have picot edge. Hope you knit one doll some time so you can show us other techniques. Thanks again!
The little pink hat (with the pompom) is knit in Dale of Norway Stork. The green that I used for the sample is Cascade 220 Superwash in color "Lime Sherbert". Sorry - I don't know the names of the colors I used in the Stork.
Thanks for the video. Its great! What kind of needle is that you're using to sew with? It looks like its got a bend in the end of it. Is it easier to use on knitting than a straight needle?
Wonderful video. I have been following you for a year now. Thank you. I have been telling everyone to go to your website. What kind of brand, type and colors of yarn did you use for your hat and demo. I love the green. -melissa
Thanks! I've used quite a few of these videos now. If I want to do a picot edge on a blanket, is there a way to do it on the sides too? And is there a certain length the hemmed part needs to be?
Is it just me or does this not work when knitting in the round? When I did the k2t before the YO in the round I ended up with one less st than my original CO bc there was one more k2t than YO. Anyone else get that? When I YO then k2t until the end, it was perfect. Plus if you k2t then YO you get that jog in the edge bc of the nature of knitting in the round.
Samantha Monteiro - it doesn't matter whether it's a flat piece of knitting or in-the-round, you just need to be sure to work a YO for each k2tog you work, to keep the stitch count the same.
Hi Staci! Im trying to knit a scarf and i want to incorporate stars in the scarf using a different color and ive tried reading a chart but it didnt help could you possibly make a video or give me something to help me out
Hi i hope you can help me, i am trying to knit a little angel. I have casted on 3o stitches like the pattern says. Then it says work picot edging.

Could u please do a short video using these instructions i would be very grateful thank you
Please contact the pattern designer for help with that. I'm always here to help with questions on my own patterns, but I can't help much with other designer's patterns.
Thank you for this well done video. I needed a refresher on the picot edge

You are an excellent video teacher. Thank you.
Thank you, what a beautiful edge stitch 🧶🙌.
You can incorporate the turnover picot edge with knitting so it looks better than sewing.

Brilliant! Thanks, Stacy!
Love the "surprise" ending Staci!!!! Hahahahaha

Stork is cotton yarn. It's available at many online retailers...I don't remember where I bought mine!
So so helpful! Thank you!
Brutal I really enjoyed it. Good video.
Thank you so much, problem solved. 💖
Sorry - there is no pattern available for the little pink hat - at least not yet. It's something I made up on the spot.
Can I use this for binding off ? I've seen the picot bind off and don't like the look of it this is neater and prettier
great video, clearly explains the stitch

Yes - once the video was over and I slipped out of knitting teacher mode, I used a "colorful" word. :) Just being silly with my producer.
That part made me laugh - loved a bit of personality at the end there :D Also, great video on this technique!
Lol! 😊
Thank you so much, this has saved me!
AWesome! Thanks for your good vids!
Great video. Always wondered how to do this. Is the hat pattern available for download?
Great tips as usual ;)

Hi there! can this method be used for top down sweater hem?
