As always, you shine a light on otherwise "mysterious" techniques! Thanks for all your hard work and teaching. I am getting ready to cast on my first double knitting project. The pattern design runs all the way to the edges of the scarf. Would you recommend casting on additional stitches to each side of the scarf to maintain the design? I'm concerned that the slipped stitches would alter the design. Thanks again, Kevin
@@SuzanneBryan As a leftie, it's so hard to find videos to help. I mirrored your video, and still was able to fix things. My edging is very much not consistent as this was a probject I started and stopped many times. but I think your way is the way I'm sticking with!
Thanks for this! My edges were a dog's dinner and I was trying to find neater ways but was daunted by them. This method is super simple and look s great :)
Thank you so much for an easy to understand video of how to do the edging. I’m just starting to learn about double knitting and was so confused about this part!
Suzanne, thank you for a great video. Right to the point, and so helpful. I cast on my first attempt today, but tossed it. Then I watched your invisible cast on, and now how to do the edge. If I could get my knitting with two hands more even I would be super happy. I believe like all knitting, the more I do it, the more it will even out.
Thank you for another video. This technique certainly does link those edge stitches firmly together. I am stumped, though. The column of stitches next to the slipped ones (2nd column from the left edge) simply will not tighten up properly. It's while I am purling that it happens.
It takes practice and watching exactly what you are doing in making the stitches. Some of the tricks that I show for tidy edge stitches will work here too. th-cam.com/video/Te4vdS4ri9M/w-d-xo.html
I'm so sorry! I accidentally hit that dislike button! This video was outstanding and so very helpful! If you see someone hit a dislike...I tried to fix that immediately! Thank you for sharing this very clear video for the double knitting selvedge.
Suzanne, that was an excellent tutorial! It was very clear and easy to see. What happens when I make a mistake? Somehow I crossed the wrong colour yarn and it shows. I’ve watched your video on fixing DK mistakes but it doesn’t address how to fix mistakes on the edges. Thanks.
Hi! I love this technique but my slipped stitches at the end of the row are really loose, like looser than they should be I feel. Do you have any ideas on how to tighten them?
i have tried this and noticed that when i started the edges were not joining together. Then I crossed like you did on second join but noticed you did not do this on first join. confused why you did one edge different then other??
When there are two stitches remaining on the needle, slip the first one to the right needle, point to point, then bring the color forward that represents the last stitch, between the needles, then slip the last stitch point to point. Do the same at both edges.
Why don’t you slip the stitch from the side fronting you knitwise? Let’s see if I got this right. I doubleknit with both strands in my left hand continental style. So I just do as I usually do with taking the yarn infront but then slip the stitch without using the strand and it will all hold together? The edge looks really nice! Thank you for these videos even if I get a little confused when you use both hands to hold the strands. ❤️
If you slip it knitwise, you will end up with a twisted stitch at that point. Yes, you got it. By leaving the knit stitch yarn to the back and the purl to the front, you are essentially crossing the two yarns which holds the edges together. happy knitting.
I want to learn to knit the way you do, not sure what it is called. Can you show how you knit the entire row so I can see how you knit and purl with two colors. I think I am asking to see you do double knitting all the way through a few rows. Thanks.
You said in this video that your next would be grafting two ends in double knitting but I can’t find that!! I also seriously can’t find the search in your channel. Help!!
Hi Abigail! Apparently I did not get a video out regarding grafting in double knitting so I have added this to my "to do" videos. Sorry about that! As far as searching my channel, it should be a matter of locating the magnifying glass and adding a prompt word. Thanks so much for watching and for the feedback. 😊
I tried this on a practice swatch, and I still have open edges on either side. I must be doing something wrong, and I cannot figure out why my edges are not closed together like yours is.
Hi PM! There can be many reasons for un-tidy edges, but practice can certainly help. I do have other videos that may be helpful, including this one, th-cam.com/video/Te4vdS4ri9M/w-d-xo.html. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! 😊
If I start with a knit stitch, I end with a knit stitch. That way the border is the same on both sides, not one edge showing the back color and the other edge not.
Suzanne, PLEASE & THANK YOU, can you make a video tutorial, showing two colors double knitting (flat) with colors using one each hand, showing each edges/salvage (not two color at the same time) especially when turning using the other color. Thanks again🌸🌼🌹
Are you asking for a video where the edge stitches are not slipped? Is that what you are asking? If so, you can see this video - th-cam.com/video/KCoXU36ZxSQ/w-d-xo.html
Suzanne, I'm curious: what was the mistake you made a few rows down? Did you forget to bring one color forward? I ask just to help me understand better, not to call you out... 🥰

Hi Kevin, I would add just one stitch to each side. it will look wonderful!
I'm brand new to double knitting and hated the twisting technique, this is definitely my favorite selvedge technique! Thank you for sharing!
Wonderful to hear, V! I appreciate your feedback and thanks for watching! ❤️
You're a godsend. I was wondering where I was going wrong and you just casually correct me. Amazing!
Awesome, Taffy, I'm so glad I could help! ❤️
This is the most amazing tutorial with such an easy technique for gorgeous double knitting edges. You’ve saved so many of my projects now!
You've saved my disaster of a scarf! Thank you SO much!
Yay, happy to hear this, Kylie! You are very welcome! ❤️

Yes it does!

Knitting with Suzanne Bryan Thank you Suzanne! Happy holidays!
Hello, how it works, if I knit from one color? like cardigan?
Hi Iveta. You can certainly knit in one color, if you like. I always recommend swatching first. 😊
Great timing for me. I'm learning how to double knit and this was very helpful. Thank you!
You are very welcome Cheryl Peterson! Happy knitting.

@@SuzanneBryan THANK YOU
Thank you Suzanne-very clear. Is that maneuver similar to neat edging on flat 2 color Brioche??
Exactly the same. Happy knitting.
Que legal, amei, parabens😍

Dear Suzanne, would you be able to make a video about shaping double fabrics if that's a thing? Thank you
I will add that to my todo list. Thank you!

I would like to find out how to join two edges of double knitting together
I will add this to my video todo list, thank you. 🧶
How do I start the first row with this method?
Hi Diana, here's a link to my double knitting playlist. th-cam.com/users/SuzanneBryansearch?query=double%20knitting
If I start with a knit stitch, I end with a knit stitch. That way the border is the same on both sides, not one edge showing the back color and the other edge not.
Thank you for sharing. Good to know more than one way to do things. Happy knitting.
Can you machine wash this?
It all depends on the yarn, if you have washable yarn than, yes. Good luck! 😊
Please show the starting of this pattern

I had the purl yarn in back of the needle rather than in front, so it pulled a bar across the edge knit stitch.
@@SuzanneBryan ah, ok. So if I see that I'll know just what I did. Thank you!
Exactly. I have a video on correcting mistakes in double knitting - th-cam.com/video/MyKG4nTRwYk/w-d-xo.html
