What is the music you use in this video? I like it a lot.

[newstitchaday]

@natlud6688 Latche Swing is the band. The song is called Rythme Gitan.

Thanks for the feedback. I no longer use music during the instructional portion of my videos. You tube does not let me edit previously uploaded videos so I can't change this one.

how do you close this stitch?, i mean, when i try to close it looks weird..

[newstitchaday]

@marinamendozallamas You should be able to bind off in pattern. Can you send me a photo? johnny{at}newstitchaday[dot]co­m

Does this pattern require an odd or even count to cast on to start or does it matter? Thanks! :)

Easy to thumbs up! Your tutorials are really excellent! I find that it is easier to understand because you talk clearly and slowly and use those big needles so I can actually see what you are doing. The super close-up also helps.

My only criticism is that I find the background music somewhat distracting...I don't think you need it!

@newstitchaday Figured it out :), Thank you for answering so fast, have a nice day!

@shiroosh23 Honestly, I don't know. Doesn't sound like that should happen.

However, this is not a stitch I would want to put a button hole in, since it might mess up the pattern. I'm not saying it can't be done, but I'm not sure how I would go about doing it.

You may want to consider adding a button band to the end?

In general you can add a button hole to most knitting patterns, just depends on the pattern and how you a going to integrate the hole into the pattern.

I have a question... I tried to do a one-row button hole after I knitted 10 rows or so of that beautiful Horizontal Herringbone Stitch . After I did that, I was left with 16 stiches instead of 20...

Is that normal?

That's the first one-row button hole I've ever done, but maybe it didn't work well because of this specific Horizontal Herringbone Stitch?

can I do holes in every pattern of knitting?
