Knitting Help - Slow Motion Wrap & Turn, Picking up Wraps
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 08. 2019
- Wraps & Turns (w&t) are a way of shaping our knitting. In this video I demonstrate traditional w&t and picking up wraps in slow-motion.
The sweater on the mannequin is my Women's Zippered Letterman's Jacket, pattern and video tutorial:

The yarn I use for demonstration is Paintbox Yarns Wool Mix Chunky. The needles are Knitter's Pride Ginger from an interchangeable set.

Your channel is my absolute favorite when it comes to knitting. Explanations are clear, lighting is on point, close-up is super useful and you have a great, fun personality - what not to love?! Thank so much for sharing your knowledge on YT - I always come back to you whenever I need an advice because you pretty much adressed every question I would ever asked! x Davie
Seeing this in slow motion makes all the difference. Thanks
This is the best W&T video I've found. The best part is where you look at the knit side to find the wrap on a purl side. I've been struggling with the purl side pick up and this is genius! First time making socks and I am happy now! THANKS!!
Thank you SO much for a slo-mo on the w&t short row. I especially love your voice overs for instruction-very clear and very helpful!
Working wrp-t with 6inch 2.25 needles was challenging to say the least, but understanding the anatomy of short rows wrp-t via your tutorial was no doubt a found treasure. Thank you. I think I may conquer this Toad I'm making after all.
Thank you so much! Im currently working on knitting a bunny and I was so confused when I was asked to do this type of stitch. You explained it perfectly!
Happiness is your slow motion videos. Bless you!!
Slo-mo made all the difference in the world! I think I want to watch all my tutorials in slo-mo now!😀
Thank you so much!! Has been almost 30 yrs since I last picked up needles & my daughter found a pattern she asked if I could make for her. At first glance looked simple enough; lol, then came the wrap & turn shoulder and neck shaping...I was stumped. Not something my Gran taught me, so ever so grateful for this video...you’re teaching an old dog new tricks😉💛
i know Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Austin Fox instablaster =)
@Kieran Braylon i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im trying it out now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Kieran Braylon it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account!
@Austin Fox Happy to help xD
This is so much fun! I came here to learn this because I’m going to have to use this in a sweater I’ll be knitting. All these years I’’ve been hearing about wrap and turn and picking up wraps like it should be avoided like the plague. You made it so easy. I’ve been practicing
on a a watch doing both increasing and decreasing short rows. I’ll never fear W&T again. Thank you
Hiii VeryPink!
I just wanted to say I’ve watched your videos for years and I don’t think I’ve ever left a comment before. All that just to say, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. You & your videos have helped me through SO many projects over the years. ♥️
The technique demo is very helpful, Staci. Thank you! I really benefitted from seeing the slow mo of your Flicking Method Of knitting also. I’ve almost got it down, and this is the icing on the cake... for learning!!!
Staci, thanks again for such concise, informative videos! I always turn to you when I have questions. Thank you!!
I love your videos for knitting tutorials. I am trying a pattern with wrap and turn stitches so was glad to find your tutorial for this stitch.
Thank you for this slow mo demo. I use the wrap stitch often, especially on socks because it does not leave a seam and makes the socks more comfortable but I do fine it a difficult stitch and sometimes frustrating. Nice to be affirmed that my struggle is real. Great job. Your first wrap video is how I learned the stitch. Thanks for all your videos.
Thank you, Staci... your videos are always clear, informative, and visual...
Very much appreciated......
I'm doing my first top-down sweater, and this video guided me through the short row shaping. Thank you!
I’m new to knitting and your videos are so helpful, especially the slo-mos.
Thank you for this awesome video! I still refer my classes to your videos and they really like the slo-mo ones.
This is incredibly helpful and much better than slowing down the speed of other videos which also slows down the audio. You chose a good speed as well. Thank you.
Love your channel stacy.....thanks for this slow motion video...it really helps me....and others as well....i like to learn.....thanks😄
Thank you for the video, it came up in suggested videos. It was nice and clear and easy to follow so now I'll go back and check out your other videos as well. :)
Thank you so much, it really has been so helpful, especially the slow motion bit.
Thanks a million for posting this tutorial! I might knit that pattern that has W&T instructions:)
I just love your slow motion videos!!
Thank you I am currently knitting a baby monkey and it has raised eyebrows that uses the wrap & turn method. Good to see it down the right way, especially picking up the wraps. Bev.
You make that look easier than it sounds. Thankyou
Thanks for slowing it down, the first one I couldn’t follow cause of the speed.😂
Awesome tutorial, thank you
Loved it looks easy now
Thank you for your clear explanations.
Love it thank you slo mo is great
Super helpful, thank you!
Thanks for teaching me this - I just could not get my head around reading my pattern - very well explained :)
thank you so very , very much.it helped me alot.
Thank you so much
I have never come across w&t in the knitting before, and I couldn't find it in the abbreviation list, I was stuck with the work almost to the end of one side of the cardigan.
You are my hero.
For me, when learning a new stitch like this it is easier for me to see slo-mo. Then when I've done it before but need a refresher I like to see normal speed to remember how to insert my needle the correct way and which way to wrap. I use both speeds. Thank you.
I always enjoy your videos no matter the content.
Thanks so much for sharing your excellent videos, they are so clear; no nonsense; well lit; slowmo is fantastic to follow. Very much appreciated and if you create an App I’ll definitely buy it just to give back to you 💜💜💜
Thank you so much as I am making some sock and I had to redo the area more than I’d like to say as there would be a few curse words included,so now that I’ve seen you do it …makes so much sense and I am sure it’ll work to satisfy now…but when you say “good luck” hmmmm not sure, just kidding the tutorial helps so much thank you so much!
Thanks for this video w&t have always scared me and I was about to abandon a project just last night because of them, now I won't. Thanks Staci 😊
Very helpful! Thank you!!!
I’ve probably said this before - but you have the most lovely hands I’ve ever seen. Barbara Streisand beautiful! And for your clarity and clear explanations in your videos you have been my go-to teacher for years. I get so lost looking at your hands so many times I have to watch the video twice! Thanks, Stacey! (I hope I got your name correct? I heard it on another knitting podcast.)
Thank you so much , if it wasn’t for your tutorial , I would scream🙃😜
Perfect thank you 👏
As always, well done. Now if I would just learn not to buy dark sock yarn. So hard to see the wraps on small needles and dark yarn. But thanks for making it easy to see this!
I like this
Thank you for the slo-mo video! I've been trying to work the ten stitch blanket but my pick ups didn't go right.
your vidio is excellent!
Thank you for your informative and helpful video. I’m wondering if the Knitter’s Pride metal tipped Ginger needles are available to the knitting public, yet? Those may have all of the features I’m looking for in my next set of needles.
I love your videos! I'm glad I looked this up. I was doing it right but...I have a question. I am working on a project that there is no purl row, it's all in garter stitch. So when I do the wrap, and then turn, my working yarn is in the front. But when I turn I have to knit again so do I just bring the working yarn to the back to knit? I just want to make sure I'm doing it right. Thanks!
Thank you so much for replying and I will email the writer of the pattern!
I have been wanting to work the pattern I have for a puzzle piece blanket, but it calls for w&t. I could never figure out how to pick up the wraps. Thank you so much for your clear and easy to understand video's. I am about to cast on now!
Is there a way to add a piece of slippery yarn to the wrapped stitch to help see the stitch when I go to pick up the stitch? Also when I am on the RS of a K4,P4 pattern I notice that this pickup leaves a bit more space between the stitches. This is a pick up that I struggle with as the wrap is tight and difficult to see. Thanks for this demo amd and your response.
Thank you.
Can you knit backwards while making wrap & turn? If it's feasible; can you show us how?
Hello,
I'm new to knitting and love your videos! They are so so helpful! But I have a question: a pattern calls for adding the contrasting color in row 2, then dropping it a few rows later, just prior to the wrap & turn. Do I cut it? I've never heard of such a thing.
Thank you!
Ellen
Best video for W & T and picking up the wraps. Still not slow enough for me when actually getting to the wrap and turn and picking up the wraps. I struggled because I was doing it on k2 p2 ribbing and couldn’t find info for that anywhere.
Thank you
My pattern is telling me to W&T, while also working in pattern, any advice?
so the traditional w&t wraps the yarn clockwise around the knit stitch?
I'm trying to make the Butterfly shawl, and it's in garter stitch. How do you keep that "bump" from picking up the wrap from showing on the right side of your work? Do you do anything differently on garter stitch? Thanks! Love your videos :)
So you do the same thing, just on different sides? I'm just trying to make sure there's not something I'm missing. You knit or purl up to the spot, move the working yarn to the other side, slip the stitch from left to right, move the working yarn back, slip the stitch back onto the left needle, then turn the piece around?
I am knitting a beanie in stockinette and it calls for WT. When I try it, the yarn ends up in the front and doubles up the knit stitches on the needle. Am I doing something wrong or is this supposed to happen?
you thank you 👍👍💐💐💐
Thank you.I like your videos, they have been very helpful. I'm a beginner knitter. Do you need to pick up wraps and if so when? Is it on the return of each that you are knitting?
I can't answer these questions...the answers depend on the pattern you're knitting.
Hi Staci! My pattern is calling for W&T at the ends of my rows. Do you have anything for this? TIA❤
I always end up with twisted-looking stitches after I pick up the wraps… But it seems normal? Do short rows always disrupt pretty stockinette in that manner? 🤨
❤ I just learned your german short row method. Can you do a slow motion video on the german short row in garter stitch?
She dose have one! czcams.com/video/DR6DNAbaAWU/video.html
czcams.com/video/_PAADqkCjrg/video.html
Does the w&t work on double knitting? If it does, how??
Thanks this is very helpful. I am working on a pattern that says “knit next stitch together with the wrap etc.” but later on it says “knit next stitch together with BOTH WRAPS” … I have no idea what this means. The pattern doesn’t call for double wrapping. Any ideas?
It sounds like you have worked two wraps on the same stitch, likely on a couple of rows back-to-back. I have instructions like this in some of my sock patterns. If you're unsure, please contact the designer of the pattern you're working for support.
I learned w/t from your other video because I couldn't get German short rows to work.
Now, I still have holes in my work, no matter how tight I pull it. Am I doing something wrong?
I can't know how to help you without seeing your work...I recommend you schedule a private lesson at your local yarn shop for some in-person help.
I am trying to learn this W&T on Christmas stockings on the heels......i am still a newbie....
If I understand correctly, you pick up the wraps on the return trip on that side? Either knit or purl? Or going past it to finish the row?
When to create the wraps and when to pick them up should be clarified in your pattern. Not all patterns require picking up the wraps on subsequent rows. Please contact your pattern designer if you need help with your project.
Dear VeryPink, I’ve been turning heels of socks using german short rows for ages, because I didn’t know what wrap and turn meant. Do wrap and turns produce a superior result?
No - all wrap and turn methods are about the same that way, one is not superior. Just different styles.
Staci you have helped me so much! I have a question.. my pattern calls for t&w. Is that the same as w&t? Thank you!
I've never heard of t&w, I recommend contacting the pattern designer with that question.
I am working on a sweater, and the sweater has a cowl neck. I noticed in the cowl part of the pattern it simply says to knit ex amount then "SR" what exactly kind of short row are they meaning?
I can't answer that - you'll need to contact the pattern designer to find out what she means. Ravelry message is usually a good way to contact designers. Hope that helps.
Hi,how do you know that how many stitches cast on for knitting top to bottom sweater?
I recommend finding a pattern you like (Ravelry.com is a good place to look), and following the cast-on number for the size you choose.
@@verypinkknits
Thank you so much💖
Should the pattern tell me to pick up the wrap? I'm working a scarf that tells me when to wrap and turn but doesn't mention picking them up.
Not all patterns require picking up the wraps. If you're unsure, you can contact the pattern designer for clarity.
@@verypinkknits thank you Staci. Since it doesn't have a purl side I'm thinking the wraps are not picked up. The entire pattern is K1, P1 then W & T on some rows.
How important is it pick up the wraps? I am working on black yarn, so it doesn’t show.
You're fine - you don't have to pick them up if the wrap won't show in the black yarn.
genius
How do you wrap nd turn at the end of rows?
Wrapping and turning isn't usually necessary at the end of rows...the reason we work w&ts is so that we can turn the work in the middle of a row. If you are working on a pattern that calls for that, I recommend contacting the pattern designer directly with your question.
Could you, please explain this to someone who has the yarn in the left hand and is knitting with the right hand? I think this is the Continental method.
The technique is the same regardless of which hand you use to hold the working yarn...just keep that in mind as you watch the video.
How can I get help with a tricky pattern instructions?
Your best bet is to contact the pattern designer directly for pattern support.
