Wow! This is just what I need for the sweater I am about to sew. Because I have some very long seams to sew in this sweater, I like that with this method you don't need to pull the long working yarn through each stitch. Thank you so very much!!!
Brilliant! I appreciate your clarity and patience. All of your videos are well thought through, step-wise. I am also working on your Lace Hearts knitting panels that came in your newsletter. It struck me as Magic- Pure Witchcraft! Amazing work. It made me scream during the first watching. Then I picked up my needles, confident I could do it with your guidance. 🌺From California with great appreciation, I may be a knitter after all! Thank you.
This is a great technique! I wanted a decorative seam on the sides/underarms to match a knit/purl 3-needle bind off used on the shoulders/sleeves, and this technique was perfect. It definitely took some time, but I'm very happy with the results!
This is brilliant ..... I am not very good at seaming knitting but I can crochet and have just tried this method on some panels I have knitted on my addi express wow so neat ....🤗 Thank you for sharing xxx
Thanks so much for this great tip! I LOVE all your videos and email tips and have used many of the tips you so generously provide. I just used this crochet method for seaming raglan sleeves and it looks great! I'd just like to add though that you should use a crochet hook the same size (in mm) as the size of your knitting needles that were used to knit the pieces you're seaming. That way the chain created by the hook in the seam is the same size as the knitted stitches. Thanks again for aharing all your knowledge and wonderful tips!!!
Hi Maryna, thank you for your wonderful videos. How would I do this on a ribbed neckline edge, joining to the stockinette stitch of the neckline of a sweater? Both edges are live stitches on waste yarn.
I haven't tested this method to see how it works for joining live stitches, but my guess is it is better to use a crochet hook than a sewing needle. Or, you can use the Russian grafting method described at www.10rowsaday.com/russian-grafting to get neat look. Good luck!
Thank you for another great video! I tried the knitted square chain stitch and it worked beautifully. Now, I will try the crochet version. I agree with "suskky" that the yellow color you use as a contrast to the blue background makes it very easy to see what you are doing.
This is great. By using this technique I am able to finish a top with just two strands to weave in. When it is time to separate the stitches for the arms, I knit to the first one, keeping all the stitches on my needle, I knit the first sleeve flat, all the way to the cuff, I bind of the cuff, but do not cut the yarn. I used your seaming technique and worked my way back up to the armhole. There I continue knitting in pattern across the front stitches of the yoke to the other arm. Same procedure here. When I finish the second sleeve, I continue with the back stitches to my BOR- marker, and hey presto can now go round and round in pattern to finish the body. The sleeves I put inside the sweater so they don't annoy me. Thanks again!
The best thing about your videos is that you use that yellow wool that shows what you are doing............on so many videos you can't see what they are doing because of the color............thank you from Italy.
It's funny that you mentioned the colour of the yarn. We constantly debate over it with my husband (who is my biggest supporter and my most sincere critic) - he feels the colour is too bright, and I like that colour. I'm glad you like it too :-)
I am knitting a sweater that asks you to connect the collar to the neck with a slip stitch crochet. The neck is bound off and the collar edge is stockinette. Do you think this would work and look good?
Hi Marcie. Yes, you can use this type of seam to join the collar to the neck, but keep in mind that this seam is not stretchy. Another way to join the collar is to use back stitch (the tutorial is at www.10rowsaday.com/versatile-knitting-seam). It works especially well when the stitches of the collar are not bound off. The seam will be neat and elastic. Good luck :-)
@@10rowsaday Marina, Thank you for getting back to me. I did use this technique in this tutorial and it worked great. Actually with it not being stretchy gave the back neck more structure and fit perfectly.
Ermenegilda, I haven't tried this seam on lace, but I think that to use it you should add one selvedge on each side of the work. You can make a slip stitch selvedge (slip the first stitch and purl the last stitch in each row) or work these stitches in stockinette. When it's time to seam, you can use this seam to join selvedges on each side of the work. All you need is one knit stitch on each side. The rest of the work could be in any stitch pattern. Good luck!
Could be tricky. Stitches of garter stitch are not as flat and visible as the ones worked in stockinette. I would add slip stitch selvedges or work one stitch at each side of the work in stockinette. Have fun :-)
Very nice! Thank You. Love from Ontario, Canada
Thank you, Mary!
Been looking for a lovley seam ,this is going to work perfectly..Thank you X

Wow, this really works well with my machine knit fisherman's rib charity hats. You've worked out something brilliant.

Oooh, thank you, Benita - you are so kind :-) I was super excited to find this way of making a seam. It truly is a kind of knitting magic :-))
This will make a nice seam for garment. Thanks Maryna.

You are absolutely right, Deb - it's better to make sure the sizes of the hook and the needles are the same. Thanks for the suggestion :-)
Amazing! thank you so much! I love all these videos!

What a great technique. Thank you. You are so generous with your knowledge.
Thank you, Victoria :-) Happy seaming!
wow, just when I thought the previous video was brilliant, you have taken it a step further! You are amazing!
Ooooh, thank you Lucy - you are so kind :-)
This is so great! Thank you for sharing this technique 🙂
Thank you so much. Brilliant. Going to use this for a knitted squares blanket as a feature as squares are different colours. Love your sweater btw. 😍
Thank you, Fiona :-)

Thank you, Monica :-)
Just tried this and it's fantastic. Thank you!
Thank you and no bumps under my knitted gloves. It's nice and neat.
Hi there
I can knit and crochet but my seams are awful. I think even I can can manage this! Thanks so much 😀
You are most welcome, Karina. I am happy I could help :-)
Wonderful. Thank you.
I really like the sweater you are wearing, is this pattern available to purchase
Thank you :-) It is the Sideways Sweater. The pattern is at www.10rowsaday.com/sideways-sweater Happy knitting!
Love this tutorial. Many thanks.⛄
Fantastic👏👏👏👏
SUPERB DEMO! Thank you. I wonder if this would work with a latch hook?
I haven't tried to make this seam with a latch hook, but I think it should work well. Happy seaming :-)

Even better!
Agreed :-)
You are marvelous! Thank you!!!
What difference would it make if you used both legs of each edge stitch?
It will create additional bulk. It some cases, it's a good thing, but more often than not less bulky seams look much nicer :-)
Thanks!
would you mind showing making a seam when you have 2 lace half to join?and you have uneven seams?
Ermenegilda, I haven't tried this seam on lace, but I think that to use it you should add one selvedge on each side of the work.

Would this work on garter stitch edges?
Could be tricky. Stitches of garter stitch are not as flat and visible as the ones worked in stockinette. I would add slip stitch selvedges or work one stitch at each side of the work in stockinette. Have fun :-)
Is there a way of doing a similar stitch when attaching The cast on or bind off edges together? Such as when making a blanket with knitted squares?
I haven't tested it yet, but I think we can use the same technique to join cast on and bind off edges stitch-for-stitch.
Thank you
Thank you, Paulette :-)
very nice! thank you~
