Duplicate stitch on ribbing12/30/2023 ![]() Knowing how to process the stitches for the elastic bind off, means that this bind off is a great choice for any ribbing pattern or stitch pattern where both knits and purls are incorporated. If the left-most stitch is a purl stitch, the two stitches are moved to the left-hand needle and are purled together. If that stitch is a knit stitch, the two stitches on the right-hand needle are moved to the left-hand needle and are knit together through the back loops. Two stitches are knit together through the back loops or purled together, depending on what the left-most stitch on the right-hand needle is. ![]() The knit stitches will be knit, and the purl stitches will be purled while binding off. Repeat Rows 1-2 until the piece measures the desired length from the cast-on edge. Row 1: P1, K1 repeat from to the last stitch, P the last stitch. The stitches on the left needle will be worked as they are presented on the needle. No worries, you can still work beautiful ribbing To work 1×1 on an odd number of stitches: Row 1: K1, P1 repeat from to the last stitch, K the last stitch. In this video, Michele Lee Bernstein demonstrates how to work the Elastic Bind Off in a 2×2 (knit 2 stitches, purl 2 stitches) ribbing pattern. From there, learn how to do a knit stitch, then a purl. To knit ribbing, you should first cast on. If you can purl, you can easily learn to knit the ribstitch. But as another person said the option that would look the best is to cut off/unravel the co edge, knit a new hem separately and then graft the two pieces. Ribbing adds stretch to a knitted item, and makes it look more interesting too. If the mistake is at the arrow I can’t see anything. This bind off can be particularly useful on edges where a ribbing pattern has been worked, like the top of a toe-up sock. That isn’t noticeable in stockinette, but in ribbing it pushes all the columns off-kilter. ![]() The only hitch in my plan: the duplicate-stitch yarn shares one color with the main yarn, so whenever I come to that color, I have to make fake duplicate stitches that aren’t part of the design until I get back to the brighter colors.The Elastic Bind Off is perfect for the edges of your knitting projects where you need extra stretch. Finally, I decided that duplicate stitch was the best answer I can knit the main body very simply, and I won’t have to worry about whether the design ends up off-center. I did a little sample to see if twisted stitches might show the pattern (they don’t). (And on the opposite side of the fabric, the vertical lines appear, but not the horizontal ones.) Then I tried my hand at intarsia-in-the-round, but that just got confusing and messy. That works great for the horizontal lines, but the vertical lines disappear into ribbing. I first tried doing the shaded squares in purl stitches. I played with different ways to put the charted deer into the project. These will be the manliest small projects I’ve ever made. I plan to duplicate-stitch this dear little deer on each one in a complimentary yarn. I’ve finshed the knitting on half of the small project, and I’ve just cast on the other half. Isn’t it darling? It’s a vast simplification of a chart I found online by Theresa Richardson, mainly because when I tried to draw a deer head, it looked like a cat-horse. Duplicate stitch is embroidering an additional stitch, in a new color, over the knitted object you have completed. Weaving in your ends using Duplicate Stitch means you will sew along the path of your. Duplicate Stitch is an embroidery technique that follows the direction of your knitted stitch. I charted out this cute little deer for an embellishment on the small project I plan to finish tonight. The following techniques would be suitable for weaving in the loose ends of our Vale Scarf or Masley Cushion Cover Knitting Kits.
