hey guys I'm Emily from the blue Mouse
and today I'm gonna show you how to knit
and applied border so you can see here
on my shell cottage shawl I have this
knitted on border here it's worked in
the opposite direction that a project is
worked so my garter rich's the
horizontal here on my shawl but they're
vertical on my border your applied
border can be added on to anything that
has live stitches so you can see that I
have all these live stitches still on my
needle I've worked a mini shawl here as
an example now I'm going to show you how
to do this with some contrasting yarn so
you want to start on a right side row
and you're just going to cast on as many
stitches as you want or as the pattern
tells you onto your needle that has all
the live stitches so we're my row starts
with my yarn connecting to it that is
the needle that I cast some stitches
onto so I'm just going to use the
longtail cast on method but any method
that you like will work alright so I've
just cast on ten stitches and you are
actually done working with your previous
yarn and now you're only going to be
working with the yarn for your border so
you're going to knit across all those
stitches that you just cast on until you
have one of them left and if you're not
working in garter then just go ahead and
work in pattern until you have one
stitch left
all right I've worked until I have one
border stitch left and I'm just going to
knit this stitch together with the first
stitch of my live stitches so just go
into those to knit them together and
turn and then you're going to leave the
yarn in the front of your work and slip
the first stitch on your left hand
needle as if to purl so go into it as if
to purl but just slip it and then you're
going to work in pattern across the rest
of your room so I'm just going to work
in garter stitch so I bring my yarn to
the back and continue knitting to the
end so you just keep doing that until
all your live stitches have been worked
and then you bind off your border
stitches and you're good to go so I'll
show that to you one more time so you're
going to work in pattern until you have
one stitch of your border left and then
you're just going to knit this last
border stitch with the first stitch of
your project together so go into both is
a
next yarn over and knit them together
and then turn and keeping the yarn in
the front of your work you're going to
slip the first stitch as if to purl and
then work in pattern to the end of the
row or the end of your border so I'm
working in garter bring my yarn to the
back and continue knitting across so in
the end you should get something that
looks like this this is my cast on edge
and I just worked all of my edge
stitches until I worked all of them and
then I bound off all of my border
stitches again you can work this border
in any pattern this example is just
showing it to you in garter stitch and
this is my newly released shell cottage
pattern if you're interested I'll have a
