Wow, thank you! You are very kind. I am proud to be you teacher!!

If your pattern calls for casting off the beginning or end of the row you can just cast those stitches off as the others. You can then resume to treat the first and last stitches of the rows as shown here when you continue. Keep in mind also that if you are knitting pieces flat to seam together later for a garment you don't necessarily need to do this technique as your edges will not be visible. You can and sometimes it may help you with the seaming, but it is not necessary. This technique is best used when your edges will be visible like a blanket or a scarf. I hope that helps. Thanks for reaching out.

Thank you for your input.

😊

Yes, absolutely. I have a video on how to do that; Double Knitting: How to do decreases and increase th-cam.com/video/7BsSu_wcvHA/w-d-xo.html

@ thank you so much❤️

You’re welcome 😊

I do have a kids mitten pattern. A basic mitten: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/basic-mittens-for-kids Unfortunately it doesn’t include the lining. I’m sorry but I have not tested a smaller size with this pattern yet.

You’re welcome 😊

Wonderful. I’m sure it will be lovely!!

Thank you!😊

You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful.

Yes. I have that on my list to do in the future. Thanks for the suggestion.

I do have a video on two color double ribbing: Double Knitting: Two color ribbing th-cam.com/video/9wqM2FMym7s/w-d-xo.html It does have a little different approach.

Thank you. That would make a lovely hat! Great idea.

No, for both mittens you will alway do a make one right increase (M1R) right after your first marker and a make one left increase (M1L) right before the second marker. Do not switch them for the other mitten.

@jacqknits Thank you so much! I realised it after thinking about it for a bit😆

For most of the video I show this continental style with the working yarn in my left hand (for both the method where you knit one color at a time, or when you knit both colors at the same time and holding both of your yarns in your left hand). Toward the end of the video I show how you can knit both colors by placing one color in your left hand and the other color in your right hand (English style). So in that way you are using both methods.

That makes me super happy to hear that. Thanks for the comment!!

To knit a small circular piece in the round you will need a small circular needle that will comfortably fit your stitches for your project to be able to knit in the round. You can however knit in the round with a long circular needle using the magic loop method. I have a video on how to knit the magic loop here: th-cam.com/video/q6CDoOtgOfM/w-d-xo.html You may want to view this video and learn that method. Then you will be able to knit any size circurlar project with just one size long needle. Hope that helps.

You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed!!

The link for the pattern is in the description below the title of the video but also including link here. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/easiest-baby-hat-ever-2

Wonderful! That makes me very happy to hear that. Good luck with the mitten. I'm sure it will be great.

Thanks so much. I tried to order the exact same yarn but we don’t have Hobby Lobby in Canada and they don’t ship internationally. But I managed to locate it in two colours on EBay. Thistle and Rosewater. I shall send you a photo when I am done 😊 you are an awesome tutor 🙌

Oh great. I also have a link to that yarn found on Amazon in the description of the video. Here’s the link. amzn.to/452oTzy

Aww thank you. I saw this too but they won’t ship to my address in Canada. Such a lovely colour too x

👍

Yes of course! If using a thicker yarn use a larger needle and cast on fewer stitches (in multiple of 5). If thinner weight yarn use a smaller needle and cast on more stitches (multiple of 5). You may need to do a swatch to test it out making sure that your width will fit around your wrist. Hope that helps.

@@jacqknits Alright, Thank you so much!

You are welcome. Glad it helped.

Yes you can! Give it a try. A fun one to knit.

I have not tested this hat our for a toddler size, but I would start by trying 50 stitches. It has to be a mutlipe of 5.

You need to have your working yarn coming off of your right hand side of the needle and then star knitting the stitches that are on your left hand side of the needle. That will join it in the round.

How many stitches for a man’s size please? Very nice pattern and I can’t wait to knit it 😊 thank you

@@roszcutler9724 I would go with 70 stitches cast on for a men's hat.

I'm sorry you are struggling with this. I would only suggest to continue to look at the written instructions as they give stitch by stitch and row by row instructions for both the right and left hand mitten. Do download the pattern again though as I was reviewing it I noticed a small typo for the right hand mitten which I corrected.

Great. Glad to hear.

I do not but I do have the pattern for that. It can be found here www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/honey-lined-waffle-mittens

I’m sorry. It may be easier to simply refer to the written instructions and follow the stitch needed for each end of the rows.

@@jacqknitsThank you. I get it now. X

😊

You're so welcome! Thanks for the comment.

If you are casting on using the long tail cast on method then you will end up with your tail and your working yarn at the same end. Other types of cast on can result in your working yarn ending up on the opposite end. It really doesn’t matter where your tail is. You still want your working yarn to come off your right hand needle and you will knit your stitches on your left hand needle to join in the round. Does that help??

You can use this for stockinette certainly but this in itself will not prevent it from rolling. I have another video with some suggestions of borders you can use to prevent rolling. th-cam.com/video/wjlEZEgeLwQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wO2ZQDMQAPEfDBpW

I would cast on 80 stitches. That is the size for a toddler and should work for a 3 year old. It’s very stretchy.

Yes I’m so sorry. Unfortunately I can’t edit that but know whenever I talk about the thumb gusset I’m referring to increases.

Yes begin this with your first row after your cast on. And it doesn’t make a difference how you hold your yarn. Just make sure you’re bringing your yarn to the front or back as directed when doing your slip stitches. Welcome to knitting!!

@jacqknits Thank you!

The knit and purl stitches for the cuff give it a bit of a stretch which is nice for any cuff. With just knit it won’t have that nice stretchy cuff and it may feel loose and not keep your wrist warm. When you are doing a 1x1 ribbing know that you are always knitting the knit stitches (the column of V looking stitches right below) and you are purling your purl stitches (with the purl bump right below). That may help you keep track.

@jacqknits thanks! I'll just try the purl

Ooh. That would be a lovely idea. I’ll put that on my planner.

Just to clarify...are you looking for a double knitted brim using magic loop? or just a basic single knit folded over brim with magic loop?

@jacqknits just a folded rim on magic loop for now. Just alittle unsure on the whip stitch part on this needle. Using size 1, 144 sts 40 length cord. Almost done with my 6 inches then fold.

@@yvonnevigil7489 OK. I'm not famiiar with the whip stitch you are referring to with a brim. You really don't have to do anything other than continue to do what you are doing with your knitting on the magic loop. Just make your length long enough for the brim to fold over, then continue with the rest of your hat. I'm sorry if I may be misunderstanding your question.

@jacqknits maybe whip stitch isn't the term (sorry). Basically I have made these hats on 16 inches circulars but not on a 40 inch cord and divided them 72 front 72 back. What I'm afraid of messing up is : ok I knit first 72 sts together the rim, now how to do the other 72. This is the part. Do I treat it like knitting socks on msgic loop. Still want a video

@@yvonnevigil7489 OK I see what you are trying to do ... connecting your live stitches with the cast on edge for your folded brim. I can certainly do a future video on this. It may well be some time before I can do that as I have several videos in the works that I need to produce first. However, in the meantime I did knit up a quick swatch and tried this with magic loop. You first need to be sure to fold your brim over to the INSIDE of your magic loop. Then knit each live stitch with each cast on stitch together to connect the two. It is no different than any other knit round as it works with magic loop. When you are done with your first set of stitches slip your needles to knit the second set as you would with magic loop. Your cast on edge is safely tucked on the inside of your magic loop and you can continue to knit your live stitches with each cast on stitch. I hope that helps for the time being. I have on my planning list to do a magic loop hat and will try to incorporate this folded brim in that as well. Thank you for reaching out.

I believe I mention early on in the video that I’m using a US size 8 needle. I’m using a circular needle but you can use a straight needle as well for this.

@jacqknits thank you so much 💓

Wonderful! Thank you so much. You have very lucky friends/family to be given hand made items for Christmas. I’m sure they are beautiful and they will love them.

Oh I’m glad it turned out well. I’ve been procrastinating doing an adult size sock just because it will take a bit to record and knit up a few samples. But I’m hoping to do one in the future.

Wonderful! I’m glad you found this a good fit for you and that you felt it was beginner friendly. Thanks for your comment and support.

I’m sorry you struggled with this. This pattern is knitted flat, not in the round, does not incorporate a thumb gusset or thumb and also has no increase or decrease stitches, only involves knit and purl stitches, and just seams up the side so therefore I would consider this a beginner project. I have had several people comment that it was an easy pattern to follow. But I understand knitters are at different levels and will consider that for future videos. Thanks for your input.

Yes there are many ways to handle the yarn and each knitter has to be comfortable with their own style. I am never super comfortable with my working yarn in my right hand even though that was how I was taught as a child.

Glad it was helpful! It is my goal to reach every level of knitters. Glad you found something that works for you. Happy knitting!!

@@jacqknits That’s a favourable goal.

Glad it was helpful!

Yes, with some stitches that are the same on both sides, like the garter stitch I'm using, it can be difficult to remenber if you are on the right side or wrong side. You can refer to the tail from your cast on edge to help you remember. If the tail is on the side you start to knit from, you are working the right side. If it's on the other end, you are working the wrong side. Or sometimes it is helpful to place a stitch marker on the right side, so you can always see which side is the right and wrong side. I hope that helps. Thanks for reaching out.
