Braided Video Tutorials

Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,

I whipped up a few videos showing how to work up the Braided scarf. It is in four parts and here they are!

There you go! I hope this is fun to watch and most of all that the videos are helpful.
Enjoy.

    Thanks so much. I knew how to do each step but it was helpful to see it all put together as I am a very visual learner. Thanks for keeping me knitting.

    In the pattern it says to use US 17 needles, and in the tutorial it looks like you are using smaller needles than 17 and they are circular. Is my scarf going to look different than yours if I use what is recommended in the pattern? thanks- stacy

      Hi Stacy,
      The needles I use in the videos are exactly the same needles and sizes listed in the pattern. I used a 24-inch US size 17 needles for the ribbed section or you could use straight needles for the ribbed section. I used a set of four US size 13 double-pointed needles for the I-cord section. I used these same needles for knitting up the sample for the pattern and for the video tutorials.

      Good luck.

    Hey Susan,

    Thanks for the video! I got some useful tips from it.

    One thing…The pattern for Braided says to braid the I-cord “until the cord with the attached yarn ends up on the right side,” but in the video you’ve braided until it’s on the left side.

    Thanks!

      I amended that on the pattern page on the blog. It doesn’t matter which side you end up with the working yarn after the braid but just be aware which rib side you are on.

    Wow. I am so impressed with your knitting style. I have never seen this done. I have always done it the old fashioned way. I will have to give it a try as I find the “other” way does get rather bulky.

    Where or how did you learn of this method?

      I taught myself to knit so I kind of made it up as I went along. It is continental style knitting although I know I do have some quirky ways of doing things.

    This is so incredibly helpful! Such an awesome scarf, but I haven’t knitted in years and wouldn’t have remembered how to even begin it. Thanks to your tutorial, I’m half way done with my braided scarf! You rock :)

    Saw this scarf on Knit and Crochet Now, the tv show. Altho I love crochet I know how to knit. I just love this scarf and am making it now. I was stumped as how to make the left braid end up on the right hand side, but after seeing your explanation, I am back at work.
