How to Pipe the Basic Knit Stitch with Royal Icing
“Knitting” with Royal Icing
Basic Knit Stitch
By Sonja Galmad
***
This video shows how to do the basic knit stitch with royal icing… on this penguin cookie….
***
… which has been inspired by these little guys who received knit sweaters through the Knits for Nature program back in the late 1990s.
***
Normally I would use the same color background as the knitting itself, but made it lighter here for better contrast.
***
The piping of the background doesn’t have to be perfect. Had an awkward moment with my scribe tool which left a few marks on this cookie, but they’ll be covered .
***
I scratched a guide with the scribe tool to hopefully get the columns straight .
***
The icing should be stiff.
***
One can pipe vertically, but I find it easier horizontally.
***
I didn’t start at the outer edge, because it’s curved, and it’s easier to work toward it.
***
That’s when we will have to use vertical piping. You will see…
***
I prefer to work with parchment paper cones, as pointed as I can make them…
***
We’ll be picking up pace soon
***
Now the vertical part…
***
Horizontal lines for the rib knitting of collar and bottom boarder…
***
They don’t have to be too exact, since they’ll be mostly covered…
***
They will only hint on the purl stitch part of the rib knitting.
***
Oops! Forgot to turn on the cam. Sorry!
***
Once the ribs have dried, we pipe again knit stitches on them…
***
Now we bind off…
***
And that’s all there is to it.
I hope this is useful to some of you and you will have fun “knitting” your own cookies .
