heyy, I have a question about the decrease row. I have 110 stitches in total. how many stitches should I make before the first stitch marker?

@@peggydedrie2873 the pattern says 20 but I did the math and to get the correct amount I think you should do 22

@@peggydedrie2873 Hi Peggy, I'm having the same problem. Did you ever find out where the other 2 stitches went in that first decrease row.

@@alexisheuer77 mine too I did 112 stitches per the pattern and my decrease was still not even and it looks nothing like the one in the video..all that work for nothing

Actually don't do what i suggested in my previous comment, i kept doing 122 stitches instead of the 112

I’m glad it helped. Ima try it too.

My mom used to do the same for my siblings and I. I started with crocheting now I want to start knitting. My mom also passed away 20 years ago, was still so young. I feel so connected to her when I crochet

I am so glad you enjoyed it!!

How long did it take you to finish? I'm only 7 rounds in and it feels like it's taking forever 😅😁

Can you please tell me how many stitches are we supposed to do first time ? On the needle for starting the project

​@@musicqueen6764 Hi! Copying from a comment earlier for you - adult size is cast on 112 ​stitches, kid size is 92

I'm in the Philippines. She'll def use it as we like going to cold cities like Tagaytay. Or, just for fashion! :)

Hiiii, may I ask how long did you take to finish ur beanie? :)

@@CrazyMe0609yo ! i just finished knitting mines with the help of this tutorial and it took me around three weeks to complete it (mostly because i would not work on it for some days straight) but if you work on it day after day, the process should only take you around a couple weeks. hope this helps !!

This was the first thing I've knitted in a decade and it took me exactly one week of working on it for 2-3 hours a day! :]

@@cookicrumbles87 thanks so much! :)

Try double pointed needles. I and some others like them better than circular needles. That cable is always pulling on my needies. The double pointed needles are a bit awkward and the suddenly they do not feel awkard. But you can do so much knitting with 2 straight needles and seaming the fabric together.

@@eastlynburkholder3559 Thanks Eastlyn. The reason I like this pattern is because I prop my right needle in my lap. I wasn''t taught that way 64 years ago, yet somewhere along the way thats how it developed. Probably if I really tried, i could move to circs or dp .. but for now doing flat work with straight needles works well for me.

@@LifterwiII my dad works only one of the knitting needles. I have problems with my joints and amazingly enough I can knit right handed and left handed, so whatever works for you. I experimented with my hat knitting with circs and double pointed and straight needles and I use whichever of these works best for my project or this part of the project. I encourage people to experiment and to try things. I gave tried a technique and have failed but learned something useful while failing.

@@eastlynburkholder3559 Yep .. so you understand what I'm talking about working only one of the needles. I think there are a lot of us. Is he left handed by any chance? It's fairly common among lefties! You are VERY fortunate to be so ambidextrous that you can switch around! i wish I was that unlimited .. which probably st takes practice. A lot of practice LOL.

@@LifterwiII yes my dad is left handed. He prefers to crochet and tat rather than knit. I throw the read in an inefficient way but work from the elbow or from the wrist down. Using shoulder movement is more efficient but I do not do that. I knit into the back of the stitches and never purl. This makes twisted stitches and stretched fabric and instead of knitting and pulling from the front side. I knit right handed and left handed. The knitting needles are coming towards each other like the lances when knight's joust. Tgus us inefficient but possible and less painful. I like to make scarves and hats.

this is sweet. how how did it take you to finish this project?

@@ishwaripurohit7099 I'm a college student, so I knit in between classes and it took me four days! It's easily a two day project if you have lots of free time :)

If you know how to crochet, then it might be easier for you to learn knitting continental style....there are many tutorials on KZfaq In the video she is knitting english style

lol i find crochet way more difficult 😅

The way she casts is uneedly complicated

@@LalappbearI agree. This was not the way I learned to cast on. I’m assuming it doesn’t matter which way you do it though.

I just learned how to knit today ,I'm a crocheter .I always ignore knitting bec I thought it's so hard to learn lol . But oh boy am I wrong😂

I am so glad you enjoyed it!

You are so welcome!

I am glad you knit it! Seaming takes a long time to perfect - so don't give up!

Casting on was hard for me and seaming was hard for me. My problem was seaming too tightly. Afraid of seaming too loosely I was drawing that seam up so tightly that the seam was very obvious and ugly. I have practiced and it got much improved but until I could do pretty seaming that was almost invisible I used to use variegated yarn and thst helps to hide the seam.

@@eastlynburkholder3559 I had the same problem with my first beanie! I recently made a second one and perfected my seaming by progressively stretching my work as I seamed, thus allowing the seaming yarn to loosen up. It's a lot cleaner and discreet than the first one. I guess we can agree that getting better is the most satisfying thing there is =p

@@mimimui11 it took me almost forever to cast on and cast off well and I used to cut yarn and throw away the first 8 rows. And seaming fabric was impossible and then one day it was easy and I could not reason out why it had ever seemed difficult. That is why I say keep trying. Also this basic beanie can be done with a background texture stitch or with stripes as one gets better at the basic pattern.

@@eastlynburkholder3559 that’s reassuring. I’m terrible at sewing up. It spoils it like crazy and yes I cry. In fact I cry many tears. I think it’s because I dread it and I know I’m going to fail, so maybe I should have to hit it head on with with positivity.

What yarn did you use???

@@deborahdonatus2900 I used worsted/Aran weight yarn I believe (9wpi) and 5.5mm needles!

Can I use DK Wool @@blue4155

i cant seem to get the ribbing repeat row part? im so confused ive watched her over and over but my needle falls right through the yarn? idk wat im doing wrong

@@lanic978 hi there! if your needles are falling through are your stitches maybe too big? is there a specific part of the video you're struggling with?

Yay! I am so glad you enjoyed it!!

Yayyy! I hope you love knitting it!

Yayy! I am so glad you enjoyed it!

How long did it take for you to complete this?, I’m a complete beginner

Is it going well?:)

Glad I could help!

You stay true to your username and I respect that

@@aphmauisnotonfire1830 this comments too much ✋😭

Don’t give up you will get it. I tried to knit booties and I kid you not I was doing it for 10+ hrs and 60times. You will do it. Have you tried to knit a scarf

@@Felicity2121 I just quit so fast by the littlest things so it’s hard for me to try new things

@@Felicity2121 thank you for encouraging me to keep trying, I will try my best :)

ok, it turned out great but i used needles too thick so when i put the hat on, it's really see through and it doesn't look knitted. currently working on another one!!

Hi! I am so glad you enjoyed the video! You could always go up to 122 stitches, then the only difference would the be decrease set up row, which would then read: Decrease Set-Up Row: • Knit 1, place a stitch marker • *Knit 1, Purl 1* repeat between * for 22 stitches, SSK, place a stitch marker. Repeat a total of 5 times • Purl 1, turn work

I got confused on how to count stitches even though I’ve read the written pattern

I think that is just her voice.

Side note, I'm trying to figure out how to do this with two colours, knitting one and purling the other

Hey how long did it take you per hat? I dont know if its normal to take me an hour to knit less than an inch if rows

@@acasualplayer7279 each hat took about two afternoons. Maybe 5-6 hours total. Speed comes with practice. Which knitting method do you use?

@@babslayne6190 I knit in english style, i just finished one but it look kinda wonky since i tried to do it with 62 sts instead of 92 because my yarn is about 2 times and a half thicker, the hat fit me perfectly but yeah

@@babslayne6190 I just kinda suck at seaming in the matress stitch because i cant get my stitches even

You are so welcome!

hi hi, was wondering what differences are there if I make a bigger hat? so casted on 122 stitches to increase the size but am not sure how to do the decreases now

is she using a 5mm or a 3.75mm?

@@ivan.lov3r 3.75mm according to the materials she listed at the beginning

I am glad you are enjoying it! For the adult size without ribbing 6.5"

I had the same issue because my wool was thicker so I made it smaller. Take two away from your original stick number (for the first and last stitch) which would make it 132. Then divide by however many sections you want divided by the stitch markers (I chose 5 however 5 doesn't go into 132 so you'll have to try a different original number or number to divide by). After that you'll take another 2 of the number you've just divided to make up for the decrease stitches you will do, and that is how many you'll need to do in-between each stitch marker. Hope this helps if you're still going to do it and if my explanation was confusing just reply and I'll try to explain better :)

@@606imaginarygf9 thank you so much for this!
