Vikkel Braid in the Round | Seamless Estonian Braid Knitting Tutorial

The Vikkel (Lateral) Braid worked in the round creates a raised, rope-like braid that travels all the way around your work — a decorative band for necklines, cuffs, hems, and yokes. The tricky part is closing the round without a visible jog; in this tutorial I walk through the seamless join that makes the braid look continuous. The Vikkel braid — also called the Estonian braid or lateral braid — is a horizontal, woven-looking row of stitches that turns a plain edge into a detail. No cable needle required. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Intro 0:07 Working the braid in the round 2:01 The seamless join (no jog) 4:07 Final result (↑ fill in real timestamps) 🧶 Used in the Elio Knot Tank Top — my first original knitting pattern, launching soon.
