I just took back an entire 271 stitches worth of finished band because of that “jog” at the ends. It’s been sitting waiting until I could find a video on how to do it properly. So thanks to you, I can now complete it!
Thanks to you, I have a perfect ribbed button band on my newly completed sweater! Your videos are so informative and thoughtful. I always find what I need on your channel... your work is MUCH appreciated. Enjoy that cup of coffee 😉
You never cease to amaze me with the wealth of knitting knowledge you have. Thank you again for everything you do to share that knowledge with everyone!
Your explanations are worded very well and you present info thoroughly. I also appreciate how you make samples for both improvements and unimproved methods, so I can see the difference.
Thank you for your clear and thorough explanation! Just so anyone else also searching online high and low for this video: I am knitting my second Tin Can Knit gramps sweater and it only annoyed me a little in the 0-6 month size, in the medium adult size I HAD to find a better way! (Hopefully this helps others find your helpful video 🎉)
This works beautifully, I knit a lot of baby cardigans and until I discovered your method the jog at the end drove me nuts. Thanks for all the great techniques.
I had the opportunity to try this tip and all I can say is “what a difference a stitch makes!” You made this video after I asked if there was anyway to align ribbed edges better. Thank you so much!
Thank you! I just frogged a buttonband that had bad curling at the ends, re-did executing ur tip ( great instructions/explanation BTW) and the extra stitch “filled in” perfectly. Much appreciated.
Genius! It’s always been a pet peeve of mine seeing all of those designers who present pictures of their cardigans with the button band pulling up at the edges. I’ve sometimes tweaked my edges by crocheting a row of slip stitch at the bottom but your way is much better! Thank you for the wonderful tip!
LisaR writing: Thanks Roxanne! I usually would take a stitch into the cast on & b/o edges to reduce the jag ... Yet - it often causes widening of the cast on corner stitch , which I'd fix by retracing the stitch while weaving in the end of yarn - it wasn't ideal - This is pure sleek genius! 👍🏻♥️
This was very informative and detailed. Definitely good tips that I would not have thought to do, and yet, they greatly solve common problems that often occur. Thanks
I’m literally working on the button bands of my steeked fair isle cardigan as I watch this video. I started them yesterday but I’m actually looking forward to frogging them and starting again with your tips, Roxanne. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the great video. Question - Do you knit the 1st stitch on the button band end of the cardigan front on both forward & return rows? I only knit on the Return rows. How should I adjust the # of stitches to pick up? Thank you.
Thanks Roxanne these are lovely tips. I sure will remember then, or come back to this video. ;-) I have a question about weaving the ends of slippery summer fibers. I have recently knit with a lovely yarn, 50% coton and 50% bamboo, soft, light, shiny yarn with big needles for a very drapey fabric. I have difficulties with my ends, I duplicated stitches, but the yarn has a tendency to come out in the front of the fabric. Do you know any trick to avoid that ?
Very nice video and tips. I just bumped into this video because I will be adding a band to my very first cardigan soon. Out of curiosity, I saw a video where someone just did pfb on the first and last stitch for the beginning of the band ribbing in the beginning instead of doing the backwards CO that you did. Do you happen to know what the pro/con is of that method vs. this one?
There are always multiple ways to get to the same end point or close to it. In this case both methods are adding a st at each end of the row. To determine which approach you like best, knit a swatch and try each method-one along one edge and one along the other. You may find one is easier but you prefer the look of the other, or you may find one is both easier and looks better, or that they give you equally pleasing results.
@@RoxanneRichardson Thank you so much for the information and suggestions. Will try to do the swatch but I might just get lazy and pick one instead to just finish off the cardigan
She talks too much. I want her to go straight to the point and show and show how to do it. I can't stand skipping a part of the videos all times with the hope to go straight to the point. It's simply annoying.
This is the best, most informative and incredibly clear knitting video I have ever seen! Many thanks Roxanne!
Never have I been so excited to frog my button band to add stitches on either side of my picked up stitches. Thank you so much for your video!
Thanks another tool for my perfect finishes toolbox. Each time I feel more confident after watching your videos.
Great to hear!
Maybe a new playlist called: Photo Finishes? 🙂

Love this tutorial. I have been knitting for over 50 years and never knew this technique until today. Thank you so much.
Thank You!!! So helpful, the button band jog makes me crazy. Glad to have a solution.
That is clever and I will be taking this trick on
You’re so clever, Roxanne!
Ugggh! I just finished a sweater where this would have helped me so much! Oh well, next time I’ll definitely use this technique. Thanks so much.

Fantastic solution and so easy! Thank you!

Thanks madam
Thanks for the great video.
Question - Do you knit the 1st stitch on the button band end of the cardigan front on both forward & return rows? I only knit on the Return rows. How should I adjust the # of stitches to pick up? Thank you.
YOu wouldn't adjust it any differently. That column of sts is going to roll, anyway, and be hidden from view.
Thanks Roxanne these are lovely tips. I sure will remember then, or come back to this video. ;-)

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Those backwards loops are called half hitches.
