I agree with these wonderful grateful viewers. This video tutorial is STUNNING. Wow. What a neat professional looking button band. The extra knit stitch makes the difference as well as the exact gauge. I will try this on a sample until i get the hang of it and correct my mistakes. Impatient to get started but its midnite in France and will have to wait. Thanks a million for this fantastic well explained detailed super closeup video. Thanks for sharing and caring.. 👍👍👍💕
Excellent, and thank you! Happy knitting.
Great points and information. Thanks so much
Good Sunday Dec. 4th from 🎌❣️ Mrs Bryan this LESSON is like a PRESENT of the ADVENTSKALENDER‼️
I am soooo THANKFUL for your patient and teachings❣️
There is soooo much to learn to make a project turn out nice.
I noticed one of the comments is dated back 4 years ago. Glad I m still able to watch it and I am so much looking forward to trying this it in some projects for my granddaughter. I like it best watching videos Take care and stay safe.
I admire you soooo much. ❤
This video has given me confidence to pick up these stitches now. I’m no longer sweating bullets. Thank you Suzanne. You’ve saved me again!
I have been having “button band anxiety”. Thanks for this video. Very clear and helpful. I’ll be knitting my first band today!
I'm sure it sounds dramatic, but this video was just short of life-changing. Thank you for demonstrating such simple tips to improve the finish of a button band!
Lol, you are not being overly dramatic at all, when you've been frustrated and something comes along that helps....it can make a bad day so much better!!
I agree with the kudos. Before I watched this, I NEVER chose a pattern if it had an applied button band. Now it is one of my favorite finishes.
After 40 years I finally know how to make a band. 😂
Thank you.
I admire how you always come so well prepared with many samples of what to do, and what not. Always clear and precise advise. Thank you for making my knitting easy, Suzanne!
Thank you, Joanna, what a lovely complement! ❤️
Fantastically clear. Thank you. The math was a little scary, but the extra knit stitch tip was fantastic. Thank you Suzanne.
You are so welcome!
While finishing my first cardigan I never thought I would find the answer to such questions of fine detail and am very grateful to you for your instruction.
Wonderful! Hugs and Happy Knitting!
Absolutely Love your tutorials. I love your style you are straightforward. Also you are correct and I have not found anything that is not a value. I’m so grateful that I found your channel. I am 85 years old I’ve
been knitting since I was 10 years old. I loveknitting I needed all alongHowever in the 50s and 60s there was no channels like yours and I just made my own way of doing things which wasn’t too bad but not really correct so I truly love your channel it is help me learn so many new things keep on with your channel we can’t do without yo😢u.
Hi Carmen, I’m 64 years old and just started knitting! I hope to be 85 one day and still knitting. I love it so much! Ms. Bryan’s videos are wonderful! ❤
I am in a place in a sweater project where I needed some of this information to create a good button band and, I suspect, will similarly need your video on creating the button hole band. Had already figured out some of this, but not the extra stitches to square off the end of the band. Duh! I am looking forward to the button band video to complete this part of the project - and likely the next project. ALWAYS find your videos beautifully instructive. And timely. Not sure how you do that, but thank you for your great teaching and sense of timing. BTW, your pup and granddaughter in the background is charming. Take good care.
Linda, your kind words mean so much to me, thank you! ❤️
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are a huge lifesaver! I was nervous about finishing my first ever garment (a cardigan), but this tutorial and your other tutorial on weaving ends in a cardigan really demystified the process. Starting and ending with K3 for a 2x2 rib is a brilliant game-changer tip that I haven't seen anywhere else!
You are so welcome! Yes, that is one of my favorite little moves that I developed.
The clearest and most thorough video I've ever seen on this technique. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
You make everything look so easy, thank you for this video.
You are so welcome, Regina! 😊
This is a fabulous tutorial. Thank you so much, I intend to watch everything you put up to make my knitting more professional looking.
Wonderful!. Thank you! Hugs and Happy Knitting.
As always, this was so helpful! Thanks, Suzanne. I love the granddaughter in the background too :)
You are a Wonderful instructor, easy to follow! I will look for more of your videos! Thank you so much!!!
You are so welcome, Janet! I appreciate you watching my videos, thank you! ❤️
Dear Suzanne, thank you so much for sharing your years of experience and knowledge with all 75k of subscribers!
You have provided us all with a wonderful shortcut to excellence!
Wow, thank you!
Fabulous explanation ! I will never thank you enough for all your invaluable videos that guide me to improve my knitting. From the bottom of my heart, a huge thank you from Switzerland.
This is so lovely to hear, Chana, thank you so much! ❤️
I did not know that there was a way to figure out how many stitches when picking up the stitches on front of a sweater. I am sure it will make things easier for me from now on. Thank you ver much!
Second time watching this video before starting a button band! My last one turned out beautiful after your guidance. Such an excellent tutorial!! Thank you Suzanne ❤
I love hearing this, Grace, thank you for sharing your experience! ❤️
Your teaching style is excellent, Suzanne! Thank you for taking the time to prepare examples of work that has room for improvement, explaining the actual errors made, and then so competently and efficiently showing how to plan ahead for every needed detail that will make our work better than it was! I also love that you do the math and show how important it is to take the time to make measurements and calculations. So many people get turned off to knitting because pattern instructions assume people know the finer details of knitting, when they don't. Maybe pattern writers should just say "Suzanne Bryan has a video for that!"
I love this. Thank you!
Thank you for showing me this multiplicity of tips and techniques to finally make a professional-looking added-on button band. I GET it now! Thank you so much!
You're such an amazing woman. I'm a beginner and your video helped me a lot to finish my cardigan. The way you explained the whole process, without rushing, was wonderful. Thank you so much
Wonderful, Diksha, I'm so happy my video helped you!
Such a great video! Not only was the instructions on picking up stitches so helpful, but so was the hints on ribbing and weaving in ends. Thank you so much for a wonderful tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!
I return to your video every time I need to knit a button band. perfection. thank you.
Thank you so much! It took 40 years but finally someone that has explained the button band so I can understand. Now I won't be redoing the button band several times before I'm happy. 🎉🎆
This is what makes or breaks your sweater. A lovely sweater can be destroyed by a misshapen button band. Happy knitting.
Cannot thank you enough for this great video. I had started a vest for my grandson and realized I had not saved the last page of the pattern that told me how to add the button bands, the next and the arm hole finishes. Thankfully you have videos for all those issues and the vest is now complete AND it fits. Made me look like I knew what I was doing. This video saved me from having to start over with another patter. I’m subscribed!!! So glad I found you.
Yay, so happy to hear that your grandson's vest was a great success! Hats off to you, Teri and thanks for the lovely feedback! ❤️
Fantastic video! I was terrified to add my button band because my pattern was so unclear, but now I feel confident that I'm going to have the straightest and neatest button band! Thank you for the great tutorial!
Such clear instructions! I’ve been knitting for many years, but this has given me a whole new outlook on finishing garments off neatly. Thank you!
Yay, I love hearing this, Teresa, and you are most welcome! ❤️
WOW! I have been knitting for 2 months. I hope I need this video someday- way over my skill level. I appreciate the way you teach. I am envious of your granddaughter - what a great instructor she has! I love to knit and want to learn. I am going to learn a lot from you. Thank you.
Your videos are just what I need for a long time. Clear and short instructions, magnified details, calm voice, without BGM. Far better than vague knitting books or other videos from big knitting companies. Thank you so much.
4 years later and still so helpful. I’ve been getting frustrated trying to figure out the math for my button band on my first raglan cardigan. I might have to restart my pick up. But worth it.
Yes, better to re pick up that to have a sweater that you are not satisfied with just because of the button bands. 🧶
Best video ever. You have an easy but precise manner of teaching. Perfect.
Wow, thanks so much Gill! ❤️
I’ve knitted for many years but I’m finding something new and useful every time I watch your videos. Thank you so much for all of your assistance and interesting information.
You are so welcome! I find that there's always something new to learn, even for those of us that have been knitting nearly all our lives! 😊
Thank you so much for this video! I found it very helpful to make a neat button band. (And as a grandmother- I loved hearing your little granddaughter calling for you!)
You are so very welcome, Natalie! Thank you from one grandma to another! ❤️
Suzanne, thank you for this great tutorial. I have been knitting for years, but not confidently. Thank you for the clear language, and great picture quality.
Thank you! Happy Knitting!
Thank you so much for this!!! I am currently knitting my first cardigan and your videos are so helpful (:
Yay for you, LB! I'm sure your cardigan will be lovely! ❤️
Absolutely EXCELLENT! How can there not be loads of comments on this?! :) I'm at the stage of a sweater that I am knitting in which I have to add the button band. I've looked books but figured I would check out a video CZcams video for a more visual explanation. One of the first videos to come up was Suzanne Bryan's. I've watched a number of her videos in the past, and KNEW this would be a wonderful explanation-- and visual demonstration. And.... it WAS! Outstanding!! Thank you again Suzanne. You are my hands-on teacher! I haven't watched your videos for a couple of months. But now when I see this video, I'm reminded of how I need to check in with you (smile) more often. Just excellent. Thank you so much. So exceptionally well done -- with explanations that make sense and close-up images that keep me attentive and nodding in understanding. "Yes, I get it!" Thank you.... thank you... thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge. :) No strings attached -- just your love of knitting and teaching! :)
Wow! thank you so much! Be sure to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already, happy knitting.
Excellent, clear lesson, much appreciated!
You're very welcome, Christine! ❤️
Excellent instructions! Using this on a placket sweater.
Wonderful, Karen! Thanks for watching and for sharing! 😊
Thank you for these teaching videos. You are a superb teacher, by the way. Anytime I have a problem, I come here for the explanation. Thanks😊
You are very welcome, Lizabeth! I appreciate your kind feedback; and great suggestion on the neckline series, I will add that to my to do list. ❤️
liking the sound of your granddaughter and your response to that thanks for video helpful video
Thank you, Patricia, she is a dear! ❤️
Excellent problem solving knitting lesson. Thank you.
You are very welcome, Clare! 😊
I have been knitting for years and am still learning. Thank you for the great resources.
You are so welcome, Teresa! Learning new techniques is the best!
Thank you so much for explaining this. I have a bamboo cotton boat neck tee shirt and you go sleeve to sleeve then pick up the front and back
Now I know how to make it even!! Thank you so much !
Wondeful!
Yours are by far the best tutorials!
Wow, thanks!
I usually only watch CZcams videos when I need to learn a certain stitch to make a pattern. But I have started watching yours just to learn basic knitting principles for planning and better overall outcomes. I will likely start my third sweater ever in 2021, and I’ll be sure to watch more like this and the trick about closing the underarm holes several times. These are incredibly helpful now that I have a little experience (messing up ha-ha) under my belt. Thank you!
Happy Holidays.
Thank you for taking the time to explain and demonstrate slowly and clearly. I am knitting my first ever cardigan for my granddaughter and I had no idea how to approach the button band. I feel much more confident now. My next stop is your button hole band tutorial! Best wishes from a grateful viewer in The Netherlands!
You are so welcome, Judy! I'm sure your daughter will love her and cherish her cardigan. Thanks for sharing your experience, and best wishes from the U.S! ❤️
What a wonderful tutorial. I have knitted all my life and struggled with d.k. button bands curling in. Infact I started making jumpers instead to avoid disappointment 😢. After watching this thorough well explained lesson I shall try again. Thankyou so much.
Thank you. In the past, I've picked up button bands with bad results, but following your advice, I just came out with a great, even button band.
Thank you!!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you Suzanne.
Thanks for watching!
These tutorials are very clear and concise. I've been struggling with buttonholes for a long time and wish I had previously seen your methods. You have a complete way of showing how to get these done and also what size of buttonhole needed. Thank you so much - this has really helped me.
Glad I could help!
Oh my goodness! Where has this video been all my life? Thank you for the clear video and wonderful information.
Thank you, Marylyn. Happy knitting.
I learnt to knit when I was four years old, and have continued for almost 50 years. I always hated doing bands, this method is amazing. Just used it to finish a jacket for Christmas gift to my sister. Best Band I have ever knitted. Thank you. My only issue was being left handed. I picked up stitches left to right, then was ready to start on a RS row. Still worked perfectly. Thank you
Rock on! Happy Holidays.
Every minute of this video has useful information. Worth every second. Great explanations, super closeups on detail. No more ripping out and starting over for this knitter. Thank you for making it possible to be one and done with my button bands!
Glad it was helpful! Be sure to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already, happy knitting.
This is super helpful. You answered questions I didn’t know enough to even have. Thank you!
This is so wonderful to hear, CB, thank you! ❤️
I made my first added on button band and calculated the number of stitches the way you show and it came out perfect. Also, the way you showed how to pick up the stitches was really helpful, too.
I have pinned your video after watching for both the underarm holes and button band for later viewing and sharing with my daughter! I wish I found you before, but such is my knitting journey 😀, now that I know better, I’ll do better, because of your very understandable videos.
The swatch /gage is confusing to me, watching twice I realized you were measuring sts /rows per inch.
Taking care of the ends could be it’s own video!
I will recommend your videos to anyone who asks me for knitting instruction! Thank you!
Wonderful Cindy Czarnecki! Happy Knitting.
What a big help this video is! Thank you very much. I also enjoyed hearing your granddaughter calling you. Her little voice made me feel like I was visiting you in your home.
Fun! Happy knitting.
Thank you for clear verbal and visual instruction here - easy to follow. Particularly liked the idea of rib using 3 knits at each end of 2 knit/2 Purl rib.
You are so welcome, Di! Thank you for the lovely feedback! ❤️
I am doing my first sweater and I had no idea what my instructions were telling me to do. This video saved my sweater. Many thanks. I appreciate you more than you know
Thank you Cora Cox! Happy knitting.
I found your channel in the list of resources for TKGA Professional Knitter Certificate. I have only watched 2 and have already learned so much! All my friends think I am such a good knitter, but they don't see the spots where I have my little issues. I really appreciate your wonderful videos.
Thank you Rae Vernel! Happy knitting. Good luck on your program!
The way you've highlighted each and every step, it's so very comprehensive. I think I've learnt much from your video. Thanks a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
This was so informative! I am making my first cardigan sweater and now have the confidence to put the banding on the front. Thank you so much! I will be looking for your band with buttonholes videos also.
Illustrating foreseeable difficulties is such a gift, thank you 🌷🌷🌷
You are so welcome, NJA Mom! Thanks for watching! ❤️
I have started a button up cardigan, and your video on the button band is the best I have seen. I will be reviewing it over and over so that hopefully I can make a good band. Now I need to see a video on the buttonhole side. Will look for one on your site. Thank you!
Fantastic! This will stop me using the guess, pull out, keeping guessing method! So many fabulous tips. Thankyou.
Thank goodness the guessing game is over! 😉 Thanks so much for watching and for the great feedback! ❤️
I am just about to pick up a button band. thank goodness I found you before I started.
I'm happy you found me, Mamandemeeka! 😊
My gosh, this is so helpful! Now I can finally finish the 5 year old cardigan that just needs the button band put on. I had abandoned it because the pattern directions have the wrong amount of stitches to pick up. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial.
Glad I could help!
Fantastic tutorial, thank you Suzanne 😊
🧶
Thank you so much for your fabulous tutorial. I have tried to do this for so long, so it was a great find. Never added a band like this before, so it's going ok at the moment. I agree with all that others that have added to this.
Kind Regards & thank you from England.
Thank you so much for this wonderfully clear and calm video. I was going mad trying to pick up stitches for a button band from a moss stitch piece which leaves a messy selvedge…. Your tip to pick up over the bars between the selvedge and the first column suddenly made it easy. And I didn’t know how to calculate how many stitches to pick up either; thanks so much.
You are very welcome! Happy knitting.
Thank you so much for sharing your knitting experience with us. I just finished a button band using the measuring instructions you gave us. It turned out beautifully!!! You are a fantastic teacher!!!
Yay, I'm happy to hear my video helped you turn out a beautiful button band! Thanks so much for sharing! ❤️
Thank you for showing how to make a button band! When I make a cardigan I will implement this technique.
You’re so welcome, K J! 😊
Thanks so much for this video. This was a masterclass in button band. I'm knitting a cardigan and will use this when creating my button band.
This is so awesome to hear, Enig, I appreciate your comments so much! ❤️
I love your knitting videos. I always go to you first for knitting help.
Yay, thank you, Christine! ❤️
This makes so many more knitting options possible! Thanks so much for all these great tutorials and all your great interviews!
Thank you so much! Look for more interviews coming up in the future.
What a wonderful instructor and instructions! Getting getting to do my first steek and button bands. Very helpful.
I love your channel and hearing your grand daughter calling you just made me love it even more.
You are so kind, V-Ann, thank you!
This was so very good - you are an excellent teacher!
Thank you! Happy knitting.
Definitely going to do the knit 3 on the 2x2 rib, makes it look so much nicer and polished. Thanks Suzanne for another excellent video.
Thank you so much! This is the best tutorial on button bands, and probably the best tutorial on anything ever. I learned so much more than what I expected to hear.
Awesome, thank you!🧶
Thank you so much for these clear and detailed instructions. This is so useful when you alter the length of a piece, making the stitch count suggested by the pattern to be no longer applicable. A million times, thank you!
You are very welcome.
Thank you so much. It helped me a lot. Love your tutorials.
You're very welcome!
So clear, I learned so much. Very impressed. Answered my questions, Hopefully I can do it.
Thank you so much for this. I’ve crocheted since I was a child but I’ve only taken up knitting recently and am tackling a rather ambitious cardigan with an applied fisherman’s rib collar and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to pick up stitches along the selvedge or how to calculate how many. This was a lifesaver
Wonderful! 🧶
This video is incredibly helpful! Thank you for explaining the ratio for picking up; the usual 3:4 doesn’t always work and has always been a source of frustration for me. Watching how you picked up also helped because i always seem to mount them backwards and have to compensate by picking up the back leg - not easy in every situation. So thanks!
Love this method. I'll give it a go! Thank you, Suzanne.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. It's like having a personal knitting tutor.
Your amazing.
Kind regards
Linda from Liverpool in the UK
Thank you! Happy knitting.
This video finally makes sense of button bands for me. Thank you so much for your wonderful instructions.
Happy to help! Have you subscribed to my channel yet? If not, that is the best way to thank me. Happy knitting.
I had to watch this twice so I can understand which is typically me. Thanks for your videos which are very detailed.
I'm so glad it was helpful, Penny! 😊
I recently found your channel and I love your content! I’ve been knitting for just over 20 years and I’m learning so much from your videos. You have taken the frustration out of the button band for me. 😍
Yay, I love hearing this, Dilshani! ❤️ Thanks for the great feedback!
Excellent tutorial. Good verbal explanation , good demonstration and very clear photography. Well done, Suzanne !
Many thanks! 🧶
I absolutely love your tutorials, because you explain so well and you show in a non-fuss manner how to do things! Thank you, you are STUNNING!
Thank you very much! Have a great year! Happy Knitting!
Thank you so much for sharing :) you are a wonderful teacher!
You are so welcome, Hang! Thanks for the great feedback! 😊
This was a complete video about attaching a button band that fits and looks great. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Yet again another wonderful video. I keep all of your videos because they clarify things that occur in such a way that I can understand. This one makes it possible to create a garment with a professional look.
Thank you. I appreciate this feedback. It is exactly why I make videos.
Best video Ihave seen on picking up stitches for a band. Thank you!
You are so welcome, Rosemary! Thanks for watching and for the great feedback! ❤️
I'm a beginner knitter but absolutely love to knit already! Your video and explanation is amazing! I was searching how to pick up stitches on a stockinette stitch to add a rib trim to my sweater but I got so much more out of this video. You are so clear and share great techniques that I've been noticing I need to make the difference in a not-so-tidy project to a clean project. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful! Be sure to subscribe to my channel! Thank you!
Thank you for this lovely tutorial!
Thank you! Very good information. I can proceed with my button band today!
