    This is mindblowing and I would/could never have figured this out. Thank you so much and I cannot wait to try it out. I wasted a whole load of time casting on and trying to knit 9 stitches in the round on DPNs because the pattern just wasn't clear on how to do this. I feel like I can now go back with renewed enthusiasm and knowledge to finish my project. I'll add to my comment once I have successfully completed the magic loop.

    Thanks, Kristin,I have watched other videos of knitting in the round and I wanted to learn how to do it without having a full set of loops and how to do it with just a few stitches the way you do it in this video. I almost had it but somehow got my yarn all twisted but I will try it again. You did a great job teaching this and will let you know when I get the hang of it. I want to knit my great-niece a pair of booties for her first child that will make me a great-great-aunt, something she will have to keep and maybe hand down on through her family to always remind her of the deep love I have for her and her child and maybe more children

    Kristin, I'm stuck! How do you achieve the garter stitch when working in the round? I purl on the right side, and the back turns out in knit stitches and v.v. Hence, I end up with stockinette stitching!!!

    • @KristinOmdahl
      @KristinOmdahl  4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You need to move your yarn to the front of your work before purling for second round to work garter stitch in the round. Garter stitch in the round alternates rounds of knit and purl. Are you subscribed to my channel? I’ll try to make a new video for garter stitch specifically in this technique soon.

      The magic loop technique eliminates the need of multiple double pointed needles to knit articles in the round, such as socks, mittens, pullover sweaters, etc. Using multiple double pointed needles was the only way to knit in the round before circular needles were invented.
