- Welcome to GoodKnit Kisses techniques and tutorials.
Hi, I'm Kristen.
We're teaching techniques and tutorials
at GoodKnit kisses to help keep you in stitches. (laughs)
Today's clip is from a longer video,
a longer tutorial that is a pattern.
We are going to shorten it down
for you today so click on the link
in the description below if you'd like
more information or that full video tutorial.
Alright, let's begin.
When you are finished pulling that tight,
we are going to go up through
the middle part here and we're going to
work our way down seaming it from the top down.
Let's turn it around, and because
our pattern changes back and forth,
we're gonna be grabbing it kind of different spots
and I want to work with a yarn color
that is in that section so hopefully
you have long enough yarn tails
to be able to weave these in
in the appropriate color area, but if not
you can just sew it on and attach it.
I'm gonna go down through here
and grab one of these first stitches here
that I can, this little bar in between the row
will be a little farther down here.
Let me just grab this one here.
Pull that yarn through.
I'm gonna come to the other side
and go down between this row here
and come down to the next bar, pull that through.
Come back over here to this side
and we're going on one of these bumps
here between the edge stitches here.
We're just gonna be picking up
one of these ladders that are in between
and come on over to this side over here.
I'm gonna jump down beyond this part here,
this is one of the columns of knit stitches.
We're gonna be working towards the side here
where these were, the garter stitches.
We're gonna be working down this way.
I'll just pick this one up.
Come back onto this other side over here.
Pick up this purl bump stitch.
We're just working our way back and forth
between one side of the seam and the other
and picking these stitches up.
Because there's so much change
in the stitches here and we're working
with the same yarn, as long as
you're consistent, it's going to
resemble what these stitches are
supposed to look like so there's
a little bit of fudging available in here.
I'm on the right here, I'll pull through
this purl bump and now I'm gonna
come over here and pull through this purl bump.
This is gonna be very forgiving.
Just gonna keep going, alternating
back and forth, I'll continue,
pause your video if you need to.
I've got my other yarn that was
here from the last color change.
I'm gonna go ahead and tie that
in a knot on the back and then
I can cut this off and let this fall to the back.
I'm going to start using this other yarn
from where we did the color change before.
Okay.
So now you can just jog on over
to the other side and go in between
this line here and because we have
a column of knit stitches and we have
not a column over here, but just
another ribbed section, we really can
just go where these bars are here
for the purl stitches, go back and forth
between the purl stitches and then
in between over here where the bars are,
between the ridges and the rows.
Just zigzag back and forth,
just as we did on that last section.
Just continue going and pause your video
and I'll meet you back at the end of this section.
Now I want to change into the next color.
We go back here, I'm gonna find the other color.
Make this tail run to the back.
Slip it in on this side.
Then we're just gonna tie a knot
in the back, a square knot so it's secure.
You can cut it off or you can weave it in later.
We're really just gonna be repeating
just as we did on this cream section,
this light section when we used its own tail
and worked the opposite side because
the knit columns are now on the right
and the garter stitches are on the left.
You're just gonna continue in this manner
for this second color and we'll meet
back up at the end of this section
because the next section is done differently.
Pause your video and we'll see you in a moment.
Put that on your tapestry needle
and this is going to be different than
the other sections in that we're
going to go into the sides of
the stitches, working back this way.
I'm the back side here, so I'm gonna
go up through this stitch here, alright.
So you've got these knit columns
and they have some V stitches that are
facing this direction on both of them.
I want to go into the right column
on this side, so approach from
the right and then come out towards the left
and then I want to pick up the left side
column of this row here, so I'm gonna go
from the same direction, I'm not
whipping around the stitch.
I draw them up together and it's going
to put that stitch together to make a new V
and now I'm gonna go back the other direction
through the next stitch down,
that little V here, and then come down
from the last one ended here and go up
and remember we're going to the right side
so we're gonna go from the far side to
the far side and then from the far side to the far side.
We're gonna shoot all the way across here.
Then pick up the next one down
and then all the way onto the other side
of that knit stitch, pull that through.
You can kinda pull it and see how
it's starting to make a new column here?
Go down to the next stitch down
and over across, making sure they line up
and just continue all the way down.
It's just gonna be a zigzag across
and see how that's becoming just
like these other columns here?
Just continue weaving back and forth as we have been.
Pause the video and I'll meet you back
at the end of this column here.
I just finished off that, close that gap
so I can go through this stitch here
on the very end that has two of them.
Go in there and I can come back around
and complete that little stitch here
and then I can go through and to the back.
That draws that up and then on the inside
we can just weave in these tails
and then you'll be done with this hat.
