Great video, thank you. I’m new to knitting and got a kit for Christmas but it didn’t have instructions for seaming esp for ribbing. You demystified the magic of “and now seam the hat together”!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the detailed instruction Ma'am. You're a true teacher. GOD bless. This helps a lot because I'm going to be knitting a hat.
Thank you for your kind words! You're welcome!
Thank you for the video - I could see the bars you are referring to clearly and appreciate you redoing the figure-eight start so we could see what incorrect vs. correct looks like. I don't know if you've done the refilming yet that you mention. If not, may I suggest that is always a good idea to show the wrong side of a seam as well? Many of us who are fussy enough to care about an uninterrupted pattern across the seamline are also keen on having the seams look tidy (and not too bulky) on the inside too. Some seams are flatter than others on the inside so it's always nice to have an idea how both sides of the seam behave. Thanks again... Megan
I haven't re-filmed it yet - that's a good idea, thank you so much Megan!
That's just what I needed. But I did need to know it was necessary to plan the overall pattern of rib in order to make it uniform. Thank you!
I have a video on the Figure 8! th-cam.com/video/LJirVv0bF9U/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, Heather. I'm using some of your seaming videos as resources for Master Hand Knitter Level 2 swatches. Very helpful!
So helpful . Thank you
🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent instructions.
you stated that you need to do some planning to maintain the pattern. can you please explain what you mean by “planning”
Sure! For 2x2 ribbing especially, you have to plan what stitches end up at the selvedge, because you need to have 2 knit stitches next to 2 purl stitches across the seam in order to maintain the ribbing - but the 2 selvedge sts go away. So you need to choose: you can end both pieces with k2, so that one of each goes away and you have a k2 left, or you can add single sts and end one side with k3 and one side with p3 so that you can seam "in the ditch" and be left with a k2 next to p2.
So if i were to make a beanie..knitted flat ...for an adult..how many stitches would i cast on to allow me to seam in the ditch perfectly?
The exact number will depend on your gauge and the desired head circumference.
In 2x2 ribbing, you would need a multiple of 4 sts plus 2 extra selvedge stitches to be able to seam. In 1x1 ribbing, you would need a multiple of 2 sts plus an extra 2 sts to serve as the selvedge stitches.
I hope this helps!
@@HeatherStorta Thank you...crystal clear
Does anyone know how I would seem together a twisted rib stitch?
I think you could still use the mattress stitch technique - you'll be seaming in between the selvedge stitch and the next stitch.

Poor image quality.
Thank you for your feedback. I've gotten that a bit for this video, I have a refilm of it in my queue to try to film a better version.
Terrible instructor. Her fingers keep getting in the way of how she places the needle into the bars. And the swatch is too small. Forget it. Very frustrating! Yvette M.
I'm so sorry it wasn't helpful to you!
