thank you! I’m going to make a hat now (usig all your videos). I’m so happy!
This is so cool.I never knew you could knit without sewing seams.Thanks!
OMG thank you I kept messing it up and i never knew why thank you!!!
Very good, precise and clear explanation. Thank you!
Excellent. What else would I expect from Knitpicks!
Thank you. This is very helpful. My next tackle is to learn to knit in the round.
Thank you very much! If you are making a hat, do you need to decrease the number of stiches with each row?
Yep! We have a separate video that will walk you through the steps for knitting a hat. It’s called “How to Knit a Hat.”
Thanks!
Thank you so much,i have always wondered how to knit with these needles.I bought a beautiful book on norwegian knitwear and they are ALL done using circular needles.I was so dissapointed but now i will have a go at knitting them Many Thanks
Thanks for this. Well here goes. Wish me luck!
Are circular needles measured from the tips of the cable (one tip of the cable to the other), or from the needle tips (from the tip of the needle to the other tip)?
Thanks!
So, does knitting the stockingette stitch in the round, consist of just knitting each round? or is it knit 1 round, purl the next , like knitting on regular needles?
you only have to knit for stockingette stitches because when you knit tin round, you only see the right side(outside) of the work.
you just knit all the way round
which is great, as i hate purling =) x
Thank you
question about needle lengths: The fixed circular needles i have bought have been very confusing as I ordered a length of 18″ (and other lengths) but it is really only the length of the cord. It seems ridiculous that they wouldn’t supply the actual length of the total piece considering that the diameter of what you’re making is what counts. Do u have to order diff size for every hat & how do u know what length you need if they don’t tell u the ACTUAL length on the packaging? help please! Thanks!
I made a mistake while knitting and tried to undo it, which made the yarn all twisty. what do I do?
how do I knit a blanket with circular needles?
