How to: Use Slip Stitches to Knit 2-Stitch Cables | C2B & C2F Cables Without a Cable Needle Rokolee DIY 2024-05-26 | This knitting tutorial demonstrates how to knit C2F (1/1 Left Cross) and C2B (1/1 Right Cross) cables, which are created by passing one stitch over another. The result is a dainty cable that's only one stitch wide.There are a few methods to create these cables without having to use a cable needle every time, and people prefer to use these methods for small cables because they're quicker and more efficient. The technique I'm showing today is the slip stitch method, which basically involves moving the stitches between the needles to reorient them, before then working them by knitting or purling (or both).I hope you find this video useful!_________________________________________________________If you would like to browse craft products that I use in my videos or that I otherwise recommend, please take a look at my Amazon recommendations page:amazon.co.uk/shop/rokoleediy Note that this page contains affiliate links so I receive a small commission on any sales made through this page, thank you :)If you would like to buy me a ‘coffee’ to support my channel, you can do so here:ko-fi.com/G2G89EXLAny support is hugely appreciated and helps me to cover websites fees, material costs and other expenses related to creating videos.Thanks very much!
How to Knit: the 2nd Stitch BEFORE the 1st Stitch | C2B & C2F 2-Stitch Cables Without a Cable Needle Rokolee DIY 2024-05-20 | This knitting lesson shows you how to knit narrow C2F (1/1 LC) and C2B (1/1 RC) cables, which are created by passing one stitch over another.Using the method of working the second stitch before the first stitch allows you to avoid the use of a cable needle, which can be awkward and time consuming.Note that the technique I show for making a C2F cable results in a twisted knit stitch being passed behind a regular knit stitch. This shouldn't be a problem because it's hidden from view, but if you really wanted to avoid having a twisted stitch you could instead take your right-hand needle into the front of the 2nd st to knit it (by going from the back, between the 1st and 2nd stitches), before then knitting the 1st stitch as you normally would.I hope you find this helpful!_________________________________________________________If you would like to browse craft products that I use in my videos or that I otherwise recommend, please take a look at my Amazon recommendations page:amazon.co.uk/shop/rokoleediy Note that this page contains affiliate links so I receive a small commission on any sales made through this page, thank you :)If you would like to buy me a ‘coffee’ to support my channel, you can do so here:ko-fi.com/G2G89EXLAny support is hugely appreciated and helps me to cover websites fees, material costs and other expenses related to creating videos.Thanks very much!
How to Knit: 2-Stitch Cables WITHOUT a Cable Needle | C2B, C2F, 1/1 LC, 1/1 RC Rokolee DIY 2024-05-11 | This knitting tutorial shows you how to knit C2F (1/1 Left Cross) and C2B (1/1 Right Cross) cables, which are created by passing one stitch over another.If the 1st stitch is passed in front, then the cable will travel to the left, and if the 1st stitch is passed behind, then the cable will travel to the right instead.It's a simple concept because you just need to swap the position of 2 stitches before then working them. This method is definitely quicker and less fiddly that using a cable needle.I hope you find this helpful!_________________________________________________________If you would like to browse craft products that I use in my videos or that I otherwise recommend, please take a look at my Amazon recommendations page:amazon.co.uk/shop/rokoleediy Note that this page contains affiliate links so I receive a small commission on any sales made through this page, thank you :)If you would like to buy me a ‘coffee’ to support my channel, you can do so here:ko-fi.com/G2G89EXLAny support is hugely appreciated and helps me to cover websites fees, material costs and other expenses related to creating videos.Thanks very much!
How to Knit: C2F & C2B Cables using a Cable Needle | 2-Stitch Cable Knitting Tutorial Rokolee DIY 2024-05-06 | This video lesson demonstrates how to knit C2F (1/1 Left Cross) and C2B (1/1 Right Cross) cables, which are made up of 2 stitches - which means that they are made by passing one stitch over the other stitch.If the 1st stitch is held at the front on the cable needle, then the cable will travel to the left, and if the 1st stitch is held at the back, then the cable will travel to the right instead.Note that there are multiple ways of knitting this type of narrow cable, and I'll be showing you those in upcoming videos. Usually people prefer to not use a cable needle for such small cables because it's cumbersome and more time consuming.

How to Knit: PSO, PSSO & P2SSO Stitches | Pass Stitch Over Knitting Tutorial Rokolee DIY 2024-04-20 | This video lesson demonstrates the pso, psso and p2sso abbreviations you will regularly see in your knitting patterns.Pso just stands for Pass Stitch Over, and you'll likely already have carried out this action when binding off stitches.Psso stands for Pass Slip Stitch Over, and will often be combined with other stitches - notably as 'sl 1, k1, psso' or 'sl 1, k2tog, psso' - to create popular decrease techniques. You may see these also referred to as 'skpo' and 'sk2po' respectively.P2sso stands for Pass 2 Slip Stitches Over, and again is often combined with other stitches to create a decrease method i.e. 'sl 2, k1, p2sso', which is a centred double decrease that can also be abbreviated as 's2kpo'.These terms are a common occurence in knitting so I thought I'd demonstrate popular uses for them.I hope you find this useful!00:00 Intro00:27 pso01:48 psso04:04 p2sso_________________________________________________________If you would like to browse craft products that I use in my videos or that I otherwise recommend, please take a look at my Amazon recommendations page:amazon.co.uk/shop/rokoleediy Note that this page contains affiliate links so I receive a small commission on any sales made through this page, thank you :)If you would like to buy me a ‘coffee’ to support my channel, you can do so here:ko-fi.com/G2G89EXLAny support is hugely appreciated and helps me to cover websites fees, material costs and other expenses related to creating videos.Thanks very much!

How to Knit: 2x2 Twisted Rib Stitch | Knit & Purl Through the Back Loop | Neat Ribbing Pattern Rokolee DIY 2024-03-05 | This video demonstrates how to knit 2x2 twisted rib stitch, which isn't quite as stretchy/form-fitting as regular rib, but it's still quite stretchy and you may prefer the more compact, tighter appearance.In order to twist a stitch, you need to knit or purl into the back of a stitch (k or p tbl), rather than into the front like you would do for a normal knit or purl stitch. Once you've mastered that, the pattern is easy!I'll demonstrate the difference you can create by twisting either some or all of the stitches - resulting in half- or full- twisted ribbing.I hope you find this useful :)(6mm needles, chunky yarn)_________________________________________________________If you would like to browse craft products that I use in my videos or that I otherwise recommend, please take a look at my Amazon recommendations page:amazon.co.uk/shop/rokoleediy Note that this page contains affiliate links so I receive a small commission on any sales made through this page, thank you :)If you would like to buy me a ‘coffee’ to support my channel, you can do so here:ko-fi.com/G2G89EXLAny support is hugely appreciated and helps me to cover websites fees, material costs and other expenses related to creating videos.Thanks very much!
How to Knit: 1x1 Twisted Rib Stitch | ktbl & ptbl Ribbing | Easy Knitting Pattern Rokolee DIY 2024-02-26 | The 1x1 twisted rib stitch usually refers to a pattern where you only twist half the columns in the single ribbing pattern (which I call half twisted rib) - however, I'll also show you the effect when you twist every stitch in the entire pattern (which I call full twisted rib), just for comparison purposes.In order to twist a knit or purl stitch, you simply work it 'through the back loop' (tbl), which means you take your right-hand needle into the back of the stitch rather than the front. This changes the orientation of the stitch on the needle, making it twisted and therefore a bit tighter.You may prefer the neater and more compact ribbed result.I hope you find this helpful!(6mm needles, chunky yarn)_________________________________________________________If you would like to browse craft products that I use in my videos or that I otherwise recommend, please take a look at my Amazon recommendations page:amazon.co.uk/shop/rokoleediy Note that this page contains affiliate links so I receive a small commission on any sales made through this page, thank you :)If you would like to buy me a ‘coffee’ to support my channel, you can do so here:ko-fi.com/G2G89EXLAny support is hugely appreciated and helps me to cover websites fees, material costs and other expenses related to creating videos.Thanks very much!
How to: Knit & Purl tbl | Twisted Stockinette & Garter Stitch | Knitting Through the Back Loop Rokolee DIY 2024-02-20 | This knitting tutorial will first show you how to knit & purl tbl (through the back loop) in order to twist the stitches. I'll then compare how twisted garter stitch compares to regular (untwisted) garter stitch, and how twisted stockinette stitch compares to regular stockinette stitch. And I'll end by only twisting the stitches on the right side of the knitting.For reference, garter stitch is where you knit each stitch (k) on every row, and twisted garter stitch is where you knit each stitch through the back loop (k tbl) on every row.And stockinette stitch is where you alternate between a knit row and a purl row (row 1: k, row 2: p), and twisted stockinette stitch is the same but you twist every stitch (row 1: k tbl, row 2: p tbl).I hope you find this useful!Chunky yarn, 6mm needles._________________________________________________________If you would like to browse craft products that I use in my videos or that I otherwise recommend, please take a look at my Amazon recommendations page:amazon.co.uk/shop/rokoleediy Note that this page contains affiliate links so I receive a small commission on any sales made through this page, thank you :)If you would like to buy me a ‘coffee’ to support my channel, you can do so here:ko-fi.com/G2G89EXLAny support is hugely appreciated and helps me to cover websites fees, material costs and other expenses related to creating videos.Thanks very much!
How to: Knit Through the Back Loop (ktbl) & Purl Through the Back Loop (ptbl) | Knitting Tutorial Rokolee DIY 2024-02-17 | This quick lesson demonstrates knitting & purling through the back loop (tbl), which is where you take the right-hand needle into the back of the stitch rather than the front - and this creates a twisted stitch. A twisted stitch will be tighter and more compact than a regular (untwisted) stitch.In the thumbnail, the first few ridges of garter stitch are untwisted; the next few are twisted. It clearly shows the difference in appearance.I hope you find this useful :)Chunky yarn, 6 mm needles._________________________________________________________If you would like to browse craft products that I use in my videos or that I otherwise recommend, please take a look at my Amazon recommendations page:amazon.co.uk/shop/rokoleediyNote that this page contains affiliate links so I receive a small commission on any sales made through this page, thank you :)If you would like to buy me a ‘coffee’ to support my channel, you can do so here:ko-fi.com/G2G89EXLAny support is hugely appreciated and helps me to cover websites fees, material costs and other expenses related to creating videos.Thanks very much!

How to: Duplicate Stitch Colourwork | Add Stitches of a Different Colour | Swiss Darning Rokolee DIY 2024-01-24 | Duplicate stitch has a few different uses; it's a way to weave in ends quite invisibly on the back of stockinette stitch (or garter stitch), it's a way to fix mistakes in your knitting, and it's also a way to add decoration or a colourwork pattern to the front of stockinette stitch.Today I'll be demonstrating the latter by adding a design onto the front of my knitted swatch using a contrasting yarn. I'll finish the video by showing how I weave in the yarn ends, including how I use duplicate stitch to do so.Note that duplicate stitch is an 'afterthought' method, in that it is only added after the knitting is completed.This video provides a thorough explanation and I hope it's useful to you.

In other words, a k2tog is a single decrease, and a k3tog is a double decrease technique.The k2tog is a very popular method that you will see a lot in knitting patterns, often paired with an ssk decrease. k2togs are right-leaning decreases (so appear to lean to the right when viewed on the front of your knitting), so are usually paired with left-leaning ssks to create a neater and more symmetrical appearance.

Weaving In Ends - 3 Ways | Knitting Tutorial for Beginners | Garter & Stockinette Stitch Rokolee DIY 2023-09-21 | This knitting lesson is all about how to 'weave in your ends' - or, in other words, secure your yarn tails once you've finished knitting.The first method I'll show you will be the invisible 'duplicate stitch' method of weaving in and I'll be doing that on garter stitch. Then the next 2 methods will be quicker but will have more visible results.How exactly you weave in depends on what stitch you are weaving into the back of. I can't cover every eventuality so just remember that if you want to hide the yarn tail, try and follow the path of the yarn already in the knitting. I hope you like the video!(Chunky yarn, knit with 6 mm needles.)_________________________________________________________If you would like to browse craft products that I use in my videos or that I otherwise recommend, please take a look at my Amazon recommendations page:amazon.co.uk/shop/rokoleediy Note that this page contains affiliate links so I receive a small commission on any sales made through this page, thank you :)If you would like to buy me a ‘coffee’ to support my channel, you can do so here:ko-fi.com/G2G89EXLAny support is hugely appreciated and helps me to cover websites fees, material costs and other expenses related to creating videos.

How to: Bind Off in Pattern | Improved Edge for Ribbing | Knitting Tutorial Rokolee DIY 2023-09-14 | This knitting lesson demonstrates binding off 'in pattern', which involves binding off whilst following the established pattern. You'll usually find this method used to create the bound-off edge on 1x1 or 2x2 ribbing, and that's what I show in this video.The advantage of binding off (aka casting off) 'in pattern' is that the resulting edge blends in so much better with the knitting. Otherwise, you'll likely be using the standard knit bind off technique or similar, which creates a uniform band along the edge.I hope you find this video helpful!_________________________________________________________If you would like to browse craft products that I use in my videos or that I otherwise recommend, please take a look at my Amazon recommendations page:amazon.co.uk/shop/rokoleediy Note that this page contains affiliate links so I receive a small commission on any sales made through this page, thank you :)If you would like to buy me a ‘coffee’ to support my channel, you can do so here:ko-fi.com/G2G89EXLAny support is hugely appreciated and helps me to cover websites fees, material costs and other expenses related to creating videos.

How to: Count Rows of Knitting | Stockinette Stitch & Garter Stitch Demonstrations Rokolee DIY 2023-05-16 | This tutorial shows you how to count the number of knitted rows in stockinette (and reverse stockinette) stitch, as well as garter stitch. I try to give you an idea how each of these patterns is constructed, as this will help a lot when counting the yarn loops.In stockinette stitch, you just count the 'V' shapes (since the V is just the visible part of the yarn loops). One V = one row.In reverse stockinette, you will see wavy lines made up of 'n' and 'u' shapes. Each line of 'u's and 'n's is one row.In garter stitch, the easiest way to count the rows is to count the 'ridges'. Just like reverse stockinette, 'n' and 'u' shapes can be seen making up each ridge, however this time each ridge represents 2 rows (not 1). So count the ridges on the front and the back; if the number of ridges is the same on each side, times by 2 to get the number of rows. If it's not the same number of ridges on each side, the actual number of ridges is in between these 2 numbers. Multiply that by 2 to get the number of rows. Any mismatch in ridge numbers is because you've knitted an odd number of rows. One ridge = one row. And each time, you don't also count the cast-on row, unless it is counted as the first row in your pattern.I hope you find this video useful!_________________________________________________________If you would like to browse craft products that I use in my videos or that I otherwise recommend, please take a look at my Amazon recommendations page:amazon.co.uk/shop/rokoleediy Note that this page contains affiliate links so I receive a small commission on any sales made through this page, thank you :)If you would like to buy me a ‘coffee’ to support my channel, you can do so here:ko-fi.com/G2G89EXLAny support is hugely appreciated and helps me to cover websites fees, material costs and other expenses related to creating videos.Thanks very much!
