Simple and Effective Way to Fix Rowing Out

I hope that this simple solution will help you as much as it helped me.

#crochet #crocheter

At a recent meeting of the Club knitting group, we had a conversation about a common issue that happens when our knits are tighter than our purls, or vice versa.

This issue is called “rowing out”. Usually, we see it as a gap between every two rows. It affects many stitch patterns, but is most visible on the wrong side of a fabric made in stockinette stitch.

This conversation reminded me of a method that I figured out a few years ago. This method helped me to get rid of rowing out in my knitting, and I use it to this day with great success.

I hope that this simple solution will help you as much as it helped me.

You can also use this approach to improve your overall knitting tension.

If your knitting is too tight, hold the needles almost parallel to each other when you knit and purl your stitches. If your knitting is too loose, keep the needles at a right angle as you work on your projects.

How to Use the Long-Tail Cast On as the Provisional Cast On

Let's see how it works step by step.

For more details about this method

The full step-by-step photo tutorial

#knitting #knit #knitsky
#knitter #beginnerknitter

When we use the long-tail cast on for that purpose, the open stitches are not just reserved for future use. They are all uniform, and they have the same size as the stitches in the main fabric of the project.

One of the features of using the long-tail cast-on method instead of the provisional cast on is that the open stitches are well secured.

It is a good thing because we don’t need to worry that the stitches will come loose before we are ready to work with them. But it is also a not-so-good thing because it could be challenging to release those stitches when the time comes to pick them up.
As you work a few rows or rounds, you will notice that the row or round of the picked-up stitches blends in perfectly with the rest of the fabric. The stitches are not looser or tighter than the stitches around them.

To make that happen, we didn’t have to use a crochet hook or any other special tool, and we didn’t even need to learn a new cast-on method. The long-tail cast on did a perfect job of reserving the open stitches for us.

When it is time to bind off stitches, do it in round 2 or round 4 of the pattern repeat. Before you pass one stitch over the other as you bind off, knit all solo stitches, and knit each duo of a stitch + a yarn over together as one stitch.
