Solved: The secret truth behind loose edge stitches [and how to fix them]

This video solves the age-old mystery of why one edge is always looser than the other when knitting a slip stitch border (and other selvages) ► Support my work on Patreon:   / nimbleneedlez   ► Read the full post on my blog: https://nimble-needles.com/tutorials/... Whenever you are knitting flat, you may have noticed that one edge always seems to end a bit looser than the other. For English and Continental knitters, typically the left side is a bit looser. In this video, I shed some light on this very old problem. The reason has to do with the way you enter different stitches. You end up over-extending a knit stitch, while the purl stitches often remain relatively tight. As a result, rows full of knit stitches tend to carry over a lot of slack to the edges. This slack gets locked 2 rows below and cannot be fixed by tightening up. In combination knitting, the opposite typically happens. And there the purl-heavy rows tend to end up with a looser edge stitch. 0:00 Introduction to the problem with uneven edges 2:16 Why is always one edge looser in knitting? 9:53 Why do edge stitches look different in combination knitting 12:52 How to find unsymmetrical edges in knitting 17:43 Last thoughts and tips ►Link to my second channel:    / @nimbleneedlestwo   ► Link to my Patreon account:   / nimbleneedlez   ► Buy my patterns here: https://bit.ly/3aBRdzs ►Visit my blog for a free knitting school: https://nimble-needles.com/learn-to-k... ►Subscribe to my newsletter for a free pattern & regular updates: https://nimble-needles.com/newsletter/
