The whole video was great, but that last tip on the Pearl row as a roll stopper was priceless. Thanks.

I love how you always add extra tips in your tutorials -- such as how to join smoothly on 16" needles. Thank you for my weekly moment of 'Knitting Zen.'

Thanks for including a less than optimal color choice with the pink petals. That will help inform my color choices. Kraemers’s perfection yarn is…..perfect for gifting as you explained.

Thank you for this tutorial! I am going to start my hat today, your video feeds my enthousiasm and the confidence that I can do this. My first fair isle project... on my first 40 cm (16 inch) circular needles. Thank you for putting your time and effort into sharing your knowledge in your very clear and spot on videos. I learn so much, and it adds so much to the joy I get out of my knitting.

Update: I knitted the hat with yarn leftovers from a sweater, and just finished it! I feel so proud and competent :-D My first hat and my first fair isle project. Thanks again for the tutorial.

Love the hat!!!! For some reason, all I make are ribbed brims.... The rolled looks great! I'm with you, NO magic loop!!! 😉 I've always considered you my "go-to expert", so happy to see the things that the things I guessed on are correct!! I was always taught to 'loop' instead of slipknot when casting on, when joining, slip (pass over?) the loop over the last cast on stitch (putting that last stitch back on the right needle) then knit... Then there's no "jog" & no "bump"... If that makes sense.... I also just drop the loop on a straight edge, then corner isn't 'tight'. I learned that as a child, and that's more years than I want to admit to ago..🤷

HOw cute that the hat is designed by Judy 'Head' I love that, Staci! Loving your tutorials and have been for years. If any time I need to look something up, I go to you. How ironic that a girl from Alaska is now living in Texas. Couldn't be more opposite hahahahaha! Take care and see you in the next tutorial. Lu in Australia

Good morning, Staci... Ive been looking for a fair isle pattern. This is just lovely. I'm so curious about the edging you have after your cast on. It lays flat and I'm hoping you have a video on instructions for it. If you do, (or any followers) , can you please direct me to it. Thank you soooo much.

Hi-great video, thank you. I hav made this pattern twice now, once with worsted weight yarn, using a #6 16" round needle, casting on 112 sts. the hat is huge. I ordered the yarn as instructed in the pattern a din this video. It is much larger than what yours appears to be. I am not a loose knitter. Am I doing something wrong? Are you using a smaller needle than a 6?

Hi Staci, was just wondering if your purl round went all the way around the hat brim? I was trying to tell, but it looks like it’s only on 1/2. Bought this pattern and I’m loving it! Thanks for sharing it! Great holiday gifts!

Yes - the entire round. I purled round 6 in my hats.

@@verypinkknits thanks! I am actually modifying the size just a bit to make of these for my great-niece. She’s 4, and already a little clothes diva…she loves her “fashions” and she’s gonna love this hat! In measuring her, she already has a 20” head circumference, so I checked the yarn( from my stash… it’s Anne Geddes by RedHeart. I used it to make a kit Afghan for her before she was born. It works up beautifully and washes well) it’s a #3 size yarn, just a tab bit smaller than Worsted, but it still used a US 6 to determine its gauge. I simply am knitting Rounds 1-10 instead of 20, and am following the pattern for the Chart and decreasing the top! Hopefully it’ll turn out as I figured it will(Math is not necessarily my forte! Lol! If it turns out, I’ll post it and #you. If not, we’ll, I try again..thanks again!

I like the look of fair isle and get excited about trying it. I just can’t get my brain wrapped around reading a chart. Are there any patterns that don’t have charts only?

@verypinkknits 2 жыл бұрын

Fair isle patterns are usually charted to show the different colors. Charted patterns that show stitches (not colors) are often available in both charted and written instructions, but I don't think I've ever seen a fair isle pattern with written color instructions. With practice, I promise - chart reading isn't so bad. :)

Stacy I have a question. Can you use the chiaogoo shorty needles the blue package to do the crown instead of dpns or are they still to long. Appreciate all your tutorials

@verypinkknits 2 жыл бұрын

The shorties will work for a while, but they will be too long once you get down to the tippy-top of the hat. So you'll have to switch to DPNs (or magic loop) at some point.

Is there a difference between "fair isle" and other methods of stranded/colorwork knitting? Just curious about the semantics.

@verypinkknits 2 жыл бұрын

This website has a good explanation. We kind of use "fair isle" as a general term for color work involving two different colors of yarn in a single row/round. kelbournewoolens.com/blog/2017/06/stranded-colorwork-vs-fair-isle-knitting/#:~:text=Stranded%20knitting%20is%20a%20type,round%20to%20create%20a%20pattern.&text=In%20Fair%20Isle%20knitting%2C%20only,the%20back%20of%20the%20work.

Because of the pandemic, and no longer being able to go to the studio to shoot videos, I'm having to shoot them at home, which means I have to run my own cameras and lights, while also teaching the knitting. :) It is a lot more work, so I sometimes skip a week here and there, but I'm still working on getting a new video out every week!
