A Knitter's Guide to Flattering Hats: 5 Options
In this case, I am talking about the challenge of knitted hats for someone like me with a long oval face. Knitted hats generally lack the wide brims I prefer in my hat options, so what kinds of hats CAN a knitter knit for such a head?

Fixing a small hole in a store -bought sweater
มุมมอง 429ปีที่แล้ว
A real time repair to a finer gauge sweater with a snagged hole in the sleeve. I used a latch hook from a knitting machine to catch up the stitches that were developing runs above and below the hole, then threaded a darning needle and replaced the three missing stitches in the affected row. The yarn is a discontinued kidsilk mohair that I had in my yarn stash. If you only have a small crochet h...

Hi Julia where can I find that small latchook? I’ve been looking. Ty for this video
Talked too soft. Looked like a good video but I could not hear it. Very frustrating
Since this video I think about the yarn shaking hand everytime I do intarsia ❤
Лицо форма -----овал.И этим все сказано.Любая шапка к лицу.У меня форма-------круглолицая.Проблема!Подобрать шапку ------невозможно.😢🤫🤔🤔
Those are pretty, you would look gorgeous in one of Mary Rowe’s Knitted Tams!
Thank you so much for this from 2023!
Brilliant explanation and so much easier than the loop method
They all look great on you!
Thank you so much
This was so helpful. Thank you!
This is so great! I'm knitting a sweater for my husband that has a section of intarsia motifs and I'm relieved that these 40 odd rows doesn't make it so i have to knit the whole thing flat! I feel my ordinary stranded color work come put so much nicer in the round 😁 really well explained!
Thank You Very Much 💕 Avery useful video indeed !!!
Génial. Merci beaucoup. Anne-Marie.
This is an amazing video, thank you so much!
Brilliant! thank you this technique is so useful and the video instructions are very clear
Why do you knit in the back loop of stitch?
I knit in the combination style, Dori, so my knit stitch sits in a way the requires me to knit the back leg so it won't twist.
just finished the sweater and it fits great! getting ready to make my template and get started~thanks for this pattern Julia!!!
Thank you for this,I am designing a sweater with intarsia in sleeves. Amazing!
THANK YOU! that was very helpful. Also, loved when you said "look at the lady knit!' (continental style) -- I had just said that to myself! LOL
Thank you so much for this, I am designing a hat in the round and this video has been so helpful! Did you slip purl wise or knit wise? It was a bit fast for me to see!
Thank you. Your instructions were very helpful and easy to understand. I would've liked to have seen a few more rows of the project as I feel a little clumsy and I can't begin to tell you how many times I had to start over but I'm still hanging in there.
I never thought of this! Thank you a million times over.
BRILLIANT & so well explained! TYTYTY (april panda socks by jurga suggested this link in her raverly explanation!)
Thank you so much for this video! I’m knitting the Weasley Sweater and I wanted to do it in the round, but was struggling to figure out how to knit the letter using Intarsia method (vs. duplicate stitch). This solves that issue! :) BTW, I have no trouble hearing you. Audio is just fine for me.
Lynette Bohanan , I’m also knitting a Weasely themed vest ( The Christmas Morning Vest, actually) and had the same thought! I’d rather do intarsia for the letter. More fun! This was very helpful.
My opus for this year is a weasley sweater for my bestie. Found this video trying to avoid fair aisle
Thank you! I've been so intimidated by Intarsia because my first attempts weren't... great. This is really helping me get through a top-down base-ball-jersy top I'm making for my neice!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This was a lifesaver!
I wish your video started with row 1 of the contrast color. I’m having a hard time figuring out this first row of cc 😏
it's the same process, try it and you'll see.
This is awesome! Just what I was looking for!!!
Nice clear description and illustration of a tricky technique. This is very helpful. Thanks!
ditto to all, love magic loop. only learned circular this year after my whole life using straight needles. without videos id never have managed. yours is great. :) wish i hadn't given away an original set of needles but they were plastic tips interchangeable and i didn't like how they felt, i didn't realize i'd need two sets for some things. i do love my interchangeable needles i bought, happily though, thanks again.
Do you have are know of a video for a bottom up sweater that gives details on making the yoke? If so please post on where i can go to get help thanks
hi there thanks for sharing video. been knitting for years and intarsia also, but never in the round, never done any circular knitting yet as its always intimidated me but its something im about to spread my wings into. just a bit confused here though as i thought for in the round you just continously knit, Is intarsia knit in the round done different thenn as you purled also, sorry if it sounds a little silly but i am just slightly confused . so with intarsia knitting you knit one side then purl then next? thank you in advance for any help tips or techniques you can offer me, and your voice is lovely btw xx
Hi Soo, I'm not sure I understand your question, but what I think you are asking is that in the video, you work both the right side and the wrong side of the fabric as if it were still a flat piece, but the yarn over join creates the illusion of "in the round" but also allows you to insert an intarsia design in the middle of something like a sock or a mitten without a seam to sew later. Email me directly if you have a further question.
Thank you so much! I'm a visual person and your video cleared up all the questions I had regarding joining the sleeves. I was so confused when I read the directions for my seamless yoke pullover. Now my directions make complete sense. Plus magic loop as well 😁 Awesome!!!
Thanks a million! Simple and ingenious :)
i have watched a lot of garter tab cast-on videos, and yours was the clearest and most helpful. I am such a noob, I didn't even understand garter ridges vs garter tabs. Your video helped clear that up for me. Thank-you! :-)
This was SO helpful, thank you!
Excellent video!
Love this idea !
Awesome and thank you!!! This makes so much sense!
I know there is no one correct way to knit. I'm very interested in the continental style you used in the video. My grandmother taught me this way and it works well for stocking knit, but how do you do a rib stitch without your stitches getting twisted?
Because my default purl method make a stitch that sits with the back leg forward on the needle, I knit the stitch from right to left, and it doesn't come off the needle twisted. I'm used to it being this way so I don't even think of it. I do use a Norwegian style purl for lace knitting generally, but I prefer the Combination purl for everyday work.
This is brilliant! Especially the bit about keeping the purl needle a size smaller to keep gauge. You are a genius! Thank you!
I agree w Stephanie! great method & so appreciate your sharing the techniques, Julia!
Amazing!
Great tutorial, nailed it on my first try. Thanks!!
so so helpful! thank you so much! i'm knitting my second sweater ever (omg!) and its my first of this style where i'm joining sleeves to the body. I actually think there was an error in my pattern and i really fowled up my first attempt to join my sleeves. I back tracked, regrouped and and reread my pattern and then started watching some videos. thank you so much. this was so helpful to see. the mistake in my pattern had me really questioning myself. So frustrating! anyways, I think I might have it now! feeling ready to give it another go. thanks!
Perfect video! Thank you so much! Now I can't wait to knit more seamless sweaters.
You make it look so easy! Can't wait to start an Intarsia hat! Thanks for sharing.
I know this has nothing to do with the video.. but your voice is sooo calm... lol
i guess I am quite off topic but do anybody know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Terry Kyng I watch on Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
I found this very useful.
what everyone else said. This was a lifesaver for me. Thanks Julia. Love, Mom
Same here!
thank you so very much for this tutorial!!! I was so frustrated until I came to this very logical demonstration..and you are so friendly. Thank you!!PS: I am a combination knitter too!!!
Thanks so much, this is a very big help! I thought I knew what I was doing (until it all went desperately wrong). Ah well, it's still fun.
