Thanks for this amazing, detailed tutorial! I knitted my first hat and I love how it turned out. I’m definitely going to wear it during the winter!!

Thank You! I understand what your are talking about! I knitted two scarves. Now I can knit a hat to go with them! Thanks. Grateful for your help.

My first attempt at a hat wasn't great so this time I used a stretchy cast on (the German twist cast on) and a stretchy cast off (the Icelandic cast off) and rather that reducing, I just casted off and used a crochet hook to join the sides. Then like a purse, I used the crochet hook to sew in some extra thread and pulled it before tying it 3, times for security and I'm loving my hat! Ur tip with turning the hat over to avoid the sewed parts showing on the outside really helped thanks!❤️👍

My cousin is getting married in a couple of days so I decided to make him a pillow and his fiancée a beanie. Came across this video and decided to try it for myself, but instead of two colors, I did one mint green color with a fabric strawberry charm sewn on the side. This was a great tutorial and this was pretty easy to follow considering I haven't knitted in such a long time. I'm actually pretty proud of the result! Hope she likes it! :D

Using the suggested needle gauge for the yarn you have should work. Check your tension, you might be working a little too loosely. If it's still too loose, try using smaller needles. Hope that helps!

so you need to alternate the way you start each needle purl or knit? it says in the video to start purl and just keep doing it like that but it doesn't give me rows, not really clearly said that you have to alternate stitches for every needle, finished on purl then start with knit... knitted like 5 needles for nothing because it isnt said clearly

@Slothisticated0252 Жыл бұрын

continue purpling 2 and then knitting 2 for each row isnt a clear way to explain you have to alternate
