How to work edge stitch in garter stitch - Nordic knitting style
BEFORE STARTING THE VIDEO:
We have worked a few cms of stockinette stitch, where the edge stitches on each side are worked in garter stitch.
THE VIDEO SHOWS:
When working the edge stitch (= outermost stitch) in garter stitch, the stitch is knitted from the right side and knitted from the wrong side.

I'm making the Chilly Day Balaklava and it asks me to cast off and then make an edge stitch. Is the cast off loop the edge stitch already and I knit it coming back or do I make the next stitch the edge stitch? Thank you!

Dear Michaela, cast off the number of sts for your size, the remaining stitch on the right needle is your edge stitch that will be worked in garter stitch, then knit 17-25 sts, YO, K1, insert a marker, K1, YO, knit 17-25 sts, finish with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch=40--56 sts. Happy knitting!
09.12.2025 - 09:11Hi, I am referring to the Wild Daisy Vest pattern. It says 'Cast on 53-60-66-72-79 sts (incl 1 edge st in each side)' - does this mean to cast on an extra 2 stiches or are the 2 edge stitches included in the original total?

Dear Mrs Bock, as the 2 edge stitches are included, you don't have to cast them on extra, just cast on the requested number of stitches for your size. Happy knitting!
02.05.2025 - 13:52Für mich sieht das aus wie links stricken, krausrechts wird doch rechts gestrickt?

Liebe Melanie, wenn man krausrechts in Reihen strickt, strickt man die krausrechte Maschen jeder Reihe rechts - siehe Video - wenn man krausrechts in Runden strickt, strickt man abwechlsungsweise rechts und links - siehe Video. Kann das helfen? Viel Spaß beim Stricken!
01.04.2025 - 10:11Hallo handelt es sich einfach hier um links und rechte Maschen?
31.03.2025 - 15:26DROPS Design :
Liebe Melanie, wenn man die Randmaschen krausrechts strickt, wird man die 1. und die letzte Masche rechts bei den Hin- sowie bei den Rückreihen stricken - die anderen Maschen dazwischen werden wie in der Anleitung gestrickt, hier im Video zuerst glatt rechts dann alle Maschen krausrechts. Kann das Ihnen helfen?
31.03.2025 - 15:29Das sieht aus wie rechte und linke Maschen?

21.07.2024 - 21:11Hello! I'm trying to knit the Foggy Autumn Cardigan as my first ever cardigan. The pattern says to `knit up 1 stitch in each row, inside the 1 edge stitch`. Does this refer to both of the rows that form 1 ridge? Or just 1 row or the bump formed by the garter stitch. Thanks in advance.

Dear Phoebe, you can see an example in the following video: https://www.garnstudio.com/video.php?id=1728&lang=en. You knit up 1 stitch in each of the edge stitches, which were worked in garter stitches when you worked the body (1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side). So you pick up 1 stitch along the edge. These are the edges where the buttons and buttonholes will be worked in, so they are the front piece edges. First you work one edge and then the other one, so you will pick up stitches on one side for one edge and then on the other one for the other edge. Happy knitting!

Dear Valerie, you can use the following video: https://www.garnstudio.com/video.php?id=1764&lang=en. In the video the whole piece is worked in garter stitch, but what's important is how they are sewing the edges. Happy knitting!
22.01.2024 - 23:05How do you see up pieces that are knit with one garter stitch on the edges.
