Very helpful, thank you! Looking forward to the rest of this series. I often have trouble getting hats to fit the way I like - I don't like slouchy hats - and I think this simple method would work for me. Looking forward to trying it soon.

Thank you for taking the mystery out of hat crowns. I never understood how to improvise a crown on a hat before. This gives me the freedom to make up my own hats. I’ll be interested in your other types of hat crowns as well.

Happy Thanksgiving! A third option for the stitch pattern you have chosen would be to elongate or shorten it in the middle of every repeat to fit the row count. Ahhh, the marvels of knitting.

Hello there, you have been very busy and I'm pleased that you have shown me your recipe for these. My Brother lives in Central Otago and they have some pretty epic frosts and snowfalls. He works on a Cherry Orchard and goes through lots of hats which his elder sister, me, knits. This looks to be an interesting way to work these. Happy Thanksgiving, Safe travel and take care.

Amazing! I love these series. I'm learning so much. I also have a request when you have time. I've noticed there are very few videos on how to knitchener stitch in color patterns. Maybe it would be a good subject to dive into. I think once you understand how to kitchener st two pieces of fabric together it may be easy enogu, but you explain things so well...For instance: I'm knitting a toddler sweather but I didn't like the middle parte once blocked. So I cut it off instead of ripping the whole thing out. Now I'm reknitting the fair isle portion and I then will sew the pieces together. Lesson learned: blocking is not magic.

Thank you so much for your videos. I’m always learning. Usually I am running two weeks behind in watching, and I just watched the video from two weeks ago where you asked for suggestions on future videos. I am completing an intarsia sweater for my great grandson called the Digger. My outcome is okay, but I know I can do better. I was talking to some fellow knitters and a few of us had some same questions concerning intarsia. This sweater is a good example. So I thought I would throw this out and see if you would consider talking about this topic. Thanks again for all of your Tips and Techniques.

Thank you, Roxanne! This is very helpful and clearly illustrated. One question: when you have few stitches left after all the decreases, do you have to switch to double-pointed needles?

@kj-sf4md Жыл бұрын

Question, when working with bulky or super bulky yarns, are there better suited cast ons, how best to manage the yarn, I the process of just knitting, wrapping the needle, seem to add twist that is more noticeable. I like the look of a chunky knit, and its quick, especially for gifts. But instead of easier, it seem yarn management is more challenging. Am i nuts? Too picky? There must be some secret tip or technique.

@annesfeltedfriends Жыл бұрын

Very helpful. Question : if I am knitting very large to felt the hat after, can I still use this patter of decreases. My pattern using a bulky wool calls for multiple plain rounds between decreases.

@RoxanneRichardson Жыл бұрын

Your hat may have a longer, more fitted method of shaping the crown, which will remain smooth when felted. This method is quite gathered, and may not be a great option for felting. Only way to know for sure would be to try it and see what happens.

@RoxanneRichardson Жыл бұрын

Regardless of the stitch pattern you are using, once it's time to start the crown, you stop working the stitch pattern you have been using, and instead work the instructions exactly as I explained, using only knits and k2togs.
