THANK YOU! I am currently knitting this hat and I was confused by the instruction to turn as it wasn't explained why. So weird, her knitting instructions are ususally very easy to understand. Now I get it and can knit further. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for sharing, I was very frustrated with the Oslo hat pattern and here you are rescued me from it can’t thank you enough! Please make more of these kind of videos 😊
Shazam! On your last video, I asked you which hat (Musselburgh or Oslo) you would recommend for a somewhat beginner and can't really read patterns. You recommended the Oslo hat. I decided to check to see if someone made a video with some sort of explanation on how to do this hat... and saw this video of yours. I didn't even know you made this video. So, thank you very much for this explanation. I totally would have been stuck. I feel like this is my "advent video"... I will try to take on this hat after the holidays. I'm so excited. How I wish designers have this type of videos when they design something. It does not have to be a whole tutorial but this part in the pattern would be soooo helpful. I really can't thank you enough for making this video. I think I'm going to be ready after the holidays. 😊
Woah I've been looking for a way to achieve the double folded look for ages but couldn't figure it out. This is exactly what i've been hoping to achieve, thanks so much!!
Thank you so much for this explanation. I just couldn't see it and kept getting stuck. Finally just followed the instructions and did the turn and voila! It all makes sense now.
Thank you! ❤ I couldn’t figure this out, which is unusual for a Petite Knit pattern. It’s just the way she writes it, but it sure does help to see it. 😊
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was so confused but now i understand. It was so nice to find your video right away. I am knitting the smallest size but i actually want a smaller version. If i am not mistaken, i might be able to do this by reducing the cast on stitches by 8. Not sure if that will work for the decreases but i’m gonna see if i can figure it out. Thanks again for the video. 😊
Do you think you could make a video demonstrating how you made your double brim? Your seam is so precise, I would love to see your technique in joining your cast on edge to you live stitches.
Thank you so much❤ This will be my first time making the Oslo hat but I want to use softer yarn for the forehead. Now that i understand the construction better I know where to switch yarns ^^
OMG!! This is SO helpful!! It was driving me crazy cause I was just *so* confused as to why I was doing this and why I was turning to the WS 😂 thank you so much for making this video!!’
Thank you very much , I couldn’t understood what I was supposed to do … the pattern was not clear they shupd avechad some pictures of this 7 rws knitted the oter way …thank you again
just wanted to say how much I appreciated this- making this hat for the second time, the first time I skipped this step and had the seam edge showing, which is fine but frustrating! not thinking of it like a gsr helps alot :)
I just got to the part where I have to knit the brim together I didn’t even read forward from that! Lol I’m glad I saw this video before I even start that
Thank you, wanting to knit this hat for my husband for a while and was not able to do it….. I have started and cast on the man size but will be way to big……just don’t know how many stitches to cast on … with DK yarn? 😊
I was just watching another knitting podcaster talk about how she was bested by how confusing the Oslo hat pattern is, so this video being in my subscription box like an hour after i watched that video is very amusing to me lol
Awesome! Yes… it is three layers… I knit one with a significantly shorter brim to only use one skein, but I felt like it lost the integrity of the pattern without the large brim
Thank you for this helpful tutorial! I am wanting to add a bit of fair isle color work above the brim but don't know how that will work after turning to knit on the wrong side. I am thinking about just doing the double sided brim and not bothering with folding it again which would cut out the need to turn to the wrong side. Any thoughts?
Hi, when you turned the hat and took the yarn to the back again, there is one stitch left at the end of the Row. Can you please help. Thank you very much and have a happy weekend best regards from Germany :)
This video is incredibly helpful. A question - can you explain a couple of things - do you knit the slipped stitch that is now the end of your wrong side row and when do you go back to the right side knitting? thank you
The slipped stitch creates a “double stitch”, it looks like two stitches combined, and you knit them together so you are not increasing in the number of stitches. In this pattern you do not go back to knitting on the other side! The “wrong side” then becomes the “right side” for the remainder of the pattern so you can fold the brim up
Hi again! My question re the German short row turns. A commenter asked if you picked up the 1st slipped stitch as a double. Since I'm not real familiar with German short rows, could you demonstrate how you did this in the round?
Thank you for this!!! I totally could not understand why we needed to turn 😅 I thought the double knitted fabric was the brim and it didn’t need to be folded over 😂 this was incredibly helpful ❤
I found your video at the best time! I've started an Oslo Hat, and so far it's going well. I knit my gauge and it was good, but who knows how gauge will work out. It'll be interesting for sure. This video is really helping a bunch! I have a rookie knit in the round question. I know stockinette fabric will just curl to it's heart content, so I'm having to get used to work curling up. Will this become less as the work progresses after doubling up after working the cast on edge and the working edge together? Will that additional weight help keep the curling down? Thanks!
Hi Reuben! So glad this was helpful! Yes, the stockinette will completely stop curling after you knit it together with the cast on edge! No need to worry about it after that point!
Once you complete the turn, the brim is turned “inside out” and the rest of the hat is continued to be worked on the right side! So the decreases are worked on the right side
Hi. When you turned your work and brought the yarn to the back, did you create a double stitch and then just knit those two together on the next round?
Thank you so much for this video!! I’m just about to cast on and this is so helpful. I’m doing the mohair edition but I have sensitive skin and I’m hoping to skip the mohair for the part of the brim that will directly touch my forehead. I’m having trouble conceptualizing which part of the pattern I should leave the mohair out. Any tips?? Thank you!!
Hi Sarah! The part that touches your head is actually the part right after where the beanie will fold. I would recommend leaving the mohair out when you knit the brim together with the cast on edge, and then for a couple inches past that, making sure to add the mohair back in before the body of the hat becomes visible above the folded brim. I hope that helps! ♥️
Thanks so much for posting this. Quick question. I am making the Oslo Hat for the second time. (The first time worked out great after watching your video). I was wondering why the section needs to be so big for the “purl side”. Every time I knit it, I second guess myself and wonder why the “WS” purling has to be 5” (size small). Any explanation why? Thanks again.
Hi Emma, I’m not sure I’m filling understanding your question, but when you start knitting, you’re knitting the brim that eventually gets folded and knit together with the cast on edge. Then you only continue to knit about 7 rows before you turn your work like shown in the video and then continue on.
Using a provisional cast on is easier than what the pattern shows. Just to be clear, the pattern isn’t actually a sewn cast on, she just picks up the cast on edge one stitch at a time which is a pain for most people.
I want to do some color work on what would be the brim of the hat, so should I do that in the beginning of the brim upside down? I’m struggling on figuring out what is actually the outside of the finished piece
So if I want to have 2 horizontal stripes of a different color showing when the brim is turned up, then I would start them a few rows after I start the hat?
No, you do not turn again! Once you 'turn" the first time, you basically turn the knitting you have already done inside out and continue knitting in stockinette. This allows the brim to be folded up and the edge where you joined the cast on to the brim to be on the inside of the folded up brim! I hope that makes sense!
Hi. I’m hoping you can help me. So I don’t fully understand where the cast on is. I would like to use scrap yarn to stretch the amount of my main color I have. With the Musselburgh I do this by knitting my full skein, and then using waste yarn for the rest knowing that end will be folded underneath/ on the inside of the hat. Where would this be on the Oslo hat? My pattern says to knit 7.75 inches for the brim… so would I use the waste yarn for the first half of that or the second half? If I want it to not show when wearing the hat?
Ok, I had to think about this really hard because it's confusing, but I believe that the first half of the brim that you cast on and knit is what ends up on the inside. Additionally, after you complete the brim, there are a couple inches that are covered by the brim when it is folded up, so that could also be spot you could use scrap yarn on. Let me know if that works or if I was wrong! :)
@@knitcalifornia okay that’s what I was thinking too! But it was sooo hard for me to visualize. Thank you! That’s a great idea to add scrap yarn after the brim as well. :)
This was helpful however this is meant to be constructive…less is more. Too much talking when we are just liking for the technique. The middle 2-3 minutes of this video was all that was needed. 👍🏻
This is so incredibly helpful! It's so hard to conceptualize this hat without seeing a visual. Thank you ❤
You're so welcome!
THANK YOU! I am currently knitting this hat and I was confused by the instruction to turn as it wasn't explained why. So weird, her knitting instructions are ususally very easy to understand. Now I get it and can knit further. Thanks!!
This was really helpful! I find the pattern a bit confusing so I appreciate this video a lot ❤
Thanks a lot! I was stuck at the turn, but after watching your video it finally makes sense 😊
Thank you so much for going through this hat. I don’t think I’d have managed without your helpful tutorial and explanation.

Thanks for this video. I had followed the instructions without any problems, but was second-guessing myself as to whether I was correct.
OMG this is so helpful!! I am a new knitter working on my first Oslo (I suspect my first of many) and this really helped to clarify things!!
Do you think you could make a video demonstrating how you made your double brim? Your seam is so precise, I would love to see your technique in joining your cast on edge to you live stitches.
I’ll add that to the list of potential tutorials!
Yes I would love to see this also.
Thank you so much❤ This will be my first time making the Oslo hat but I want to use softer yarn for the forehead. Now that i understand the construction better I know where to switch yarns ^^
Omg you saved me! I understood the turn, but I was going to continue to purl! IMAGINE!!! Thank you so much 😭
Omg so glad this was helpful!
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful as it wasn’t making sense to me. I can now proceed with confidence. Thanks again!
Thank you so much, just got to this part on my hat and as a new beginner wasn’t 100% sure I was reading the pattern correctly. ❤

Thank you, wanting to knit this hat for my husband for a while and was not able to do it….. I have started and cast on the man size but will be way to big……just don’t know how many stitches to cast on … with DK yarn? 😊

So helpful. Thank you, Leslie. Maria M.❤

Thank you so much!! I needed to see this.
And also would you mind sharing what yarn you used in your finished hat in this video?
The finished hat is made from Explorer Knits & Fibers Cashmere Fingering held double in the colorway Fiadh from her Ireland Collection.
My question is are the decreases done on the wrong side? After the second turn? Never thought this hat would be so confusing!
Once you complete the turn, the brim is turned “inside out” and the rest of the hat is continued to be worked on the right side! So the decreases are worked on the right side
Hi. When you turned your work and brought the yarn to the back, did you create a double stitch and then just knit those two together on the next round?
Yes! Exactly!
What yarn did you use and how many stitches did you cast on. The pattern say 112 but just watched another knitting showing how big hers turned out.
I typically use a superwash merino and I cast on the number of stitches in the pattern, if not more for an adult hat bc my gauge is very tight
Thank you so much for this video!! I’m just about to cast on and this is so helpful.

It would be the second half of the brim, upside down
@@knitcalifornia THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Bonjour s’est. Bête que quand vous avez fait la couture vous avait pas filmé car s’est pas évident pour les débutante 😂
THANK YOU!!!!
thank you!!!
So if I want to have 2 horizontal stripes of a different color showing when the brim is turned up, then I would start them a few rows after I start the hat?
No, I’m pretty sure you would want them closest to the last row of the brim, right before you join the last row to the cast on edge
Thank you!!!
what yarn did you use for the beige hat? it looks so warm and squishy ,thanks
I used Explorer Knits & Fibers Cashmere fingering yarn :)
Thank you
So once down with the “purls” you turn again? It didn’t say so I was confused
No, you do not turn again! Once you 'turn" the first time, you basically turn the knitting you have already done inside out and continue knitting in stockinette. This allows the brim to be folded up and the edge where you joined the cast on to the brim to be on the inside of the folded up brim! I hope that makes sense!

How would you do this magic loop method?
Move the loops around so that the 'turn' is not at the edge of the loop, and it should be the same process!
So. I followed this and the next rows there is a hole. So. What did I do wrong
Did you knit the double stitch as one stitch? That could be the issue. Though with the folded up brim, it may not be noticeable!
Turns out I’ve made the Oslo hat incorrectly twice 😮 I guess I’ll have to give it a go the correct way.
Oh no! I’m sure it still looks great!
Great explanation thanks. The pattern does not give clear instructions.
Glad it was helpful!
