This is similar logic used in crocheting including using 2" less for a snug fit. This is a great tip and a great way to find your cast on stitches for a seasoned knitter. The other thing to consider is that not everyone will have the same number of stitches as the label suggests, which is why its important to make a swatch first to check your gauge and make adjustments with your needles to find the correct number of stitches per inch/centimeter. The label on the yarn helps to assure that no matter if you have loose or tight tension the needed results can be achieved with the yarn, but you might need to change the needle size accordingly. Many people new to crocheting and knitting as well don't understand this and how helpful the label on the yarn really is, and how/what the label is telling them .It is much simpler to make a test swatch to find out what YOUR stitches per inch/centimeters is than to make several rows or so and find out that it will only fit a child when you wanted to make something for an adult or vice versa... hope this thought helps someone too...thanks for the great tut!! :-)

For an adult head of 20”, find out how many stitches you would need for the yarn you are using. Then calculate how many 4’s you would need for your pattern repeat and simply add the 2 stitches. If you knit “on gauge”, go down 2 stitches on the 4x chart. If you knit tighter, go up to the next number on the 4x chart. It’s the total number of stitches for the head size you need to allow for, so calculate your pattern repeat accordingly.

@MsVegemitekid7 жыл бұрын
Hi TheJazzdorable*1 I just realized I originally answered a crown decrease question so I deleted (just woke up). Yes, regarding the tables, that's exactly how you work out the necessary amount of stitches. You need a certain amount of stitches to complete any given pattern set before the first stitch of the next pattern set. So you work out how many stitches you will need for the hat to fit properly, and then cast on the amount of stitches that incorporates ALL of your sets of patterns you are using around the hat

Hello Aparna, The best solution for you is a 4inch square swatch. You Cast on enough stitches that measure approximately 5 or 6 inches. Then stocking stitch up for a little more than 4 inches. Then count how many stitches are in 4 inches across of knitting. Now you can calculate number of stitches per 1inch. If the head circumference is 20 inches take off 2 inches to equal 18 inches, and multiply your number of stitches per inch by 18. I(f head circumference is 22 inches take off 2 inches to equal 20 inches and multiply by 20). You also know how many rows it takes to knit 4 inches up, so you can gauge how many rows you will need too. I hope that helps.

@MsVegemitekid8 жыл бұрын
It depends on the amount of stitches needed to create your sequence stitch pattern before getting back to stitch 1 of the sequence. So if for example you are doing 3 pearl and then 2 knit stitches you are using 5 stitches before you get back to the beginning of the sequence (the first of the 3 pearl sts) You would use the 5 times table to work out number of stitches required. Draw your sequence from right to left on paper and put a line in between sequence and the next sequence (if you are using more than one sequence). You go right to left because knitting in the round takes you anti-clockwise. I hope that doesn't sound too unclear. P=pearl. And k=knit. So kkppp|kkppp Is reading right to left 3 pearl 2 knit before you are back to 3pearl. The line separates the sequences
@MsVegemitekid8 жыл бұрын
I just will add that you will need to ascertain the amount of stretch that your chosen stitch pattern gives because the 2x2 ribbing is very stretchy and that's why I leave a 2 inches difference between head size and stitches required

@MsVegemitekid7 жыл бұрын
Jill Powell Hello Jim, First you need to get an Idea about the ply (weight) of the yarn. Here's a great way to do that at this page. www.craftsy.com/blog/2013/11/determining-yarn-weights/ Once you know the ply you can use the guide from another yarn label of the same ply. Then do a swatch so that you are sure about how many stitches your yarn (with your personal knitting tension) knits per inch. However, swatches are always measured in a 4 inches square, so knit stockinette stitch for about 5 or 6 inches across and the same in length, and then use a different colour wool to sew a mark at the beginning and end of a 4 inches measure across your knitting. Each "v" of the stockinette counts as a stitch, so count how many stitches are in the 4 inches and continue then to do your head measurements etc. to determine how many stitches you need for your required circle. I hope that helps you Jim

@ErikaVeraCreations8 жыл бұрын
what about 4ply
@MsVegemitekid8 жыл бұрын
+Erika Vera I can only give an example I have found. For example Patons Fairytale Fab 4 ply. The manufacturer recommends usingNeedles: 3.25mm (US 3) and says that if you use that size needles you could expect an approximate tension of 28 stitches knitted to 38 rows to give you a 10cm/4" square. So using that as a guide you can calculate how many stitches per inch are needed. That would be 28 divided by 4 which is 7 stitches per inch. You can use the guide on your ball of yarn, or you can knit a tension square of 4". Measure the person's head you are knitting the beanie for, and as I suggested in the video you could subtract 2" as the 2x2 ribbing stitch is very stretchy.
@MsVegemitekid8 жыл бұрын
+Erika Vera Hi there I just noticed I didn't reply. So sorry about that. If you are using 4ply you will need to use the recommended needle size as per the label. Then just measure the child's head as shown in the video and work out how many stitches you need. The label will tell you how many stitches will generally be needed per inch
