    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.. 👍👍👍💕

    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!

    • @SuzanneBryan

    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.

  • @Whistlewalk
    @Whistlewalk Před 2 lety +2

    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.

    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!

    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!"

    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.

    • @SuzanneBryan

    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.

    • @SuzanneBryan

      Yes, better to re pick up that to have a sweater that you are not satisfied with just because of the button bands. 🧶

    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! :)

    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!

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

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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

  • @mariadenunzio5266
    @mariadenunzio5266 Před rokem

    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!

    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.
