- Learning to knit in the round is essential in order to knit hats, beanies and socks. I'll be covering all the basics of knitting in the round on double pointed needles (sorry, all you circular-needle knitters out there). You'll need a set of double pointed needles which usually come in a set of at least five.
This video goes over casting on and knitting in the round. Stay tuned for tutorials on how to cast off, increase, decrease, etc.

I'm a 14 year old male hopping by and finally I saw a guy doing this. I knitted today at my school and my teacher really harasses me for knitting. I proved he was wrong
Psshh, your teacher's a dumb one if he picks on you for knitting. Never stop knitting! :)
Omg me to!

I recently started knitting again. Now when I visit my Grandparents, I help my Grandpa split wood, and help maintiance his engines, and knitt and sew with my Grandma. My Grandfather actually said that it's a nice skill to aquire, and also mentioned how soldiers in the British army used to all know how to knitt. Don't worry what others think. Just do what makes you happy (aslong as it doesn't hurt anyone). If your Teacher is a history Teacher, remind him that Knitting was invented by men, and was a popular activity for them for awhile.
love your videos so great
I love you Ryan. You taught me to knit! And now you just taught me to knit in the round. It's magical! Thank you so much for all these videos. You're teaching me a lot. I appreciate you. You're one of the funnest parts of my day.
You know, your videos are so incredibly helpful. Actually, I credit you for teaching me. I had started knitting a week before I found you, and I was always frustrated. Thank you for taking the time to explain things at a learning pace and for making such wonderful videos. Keep doing what you’re doing because you’re amazing. Thank you, again.
for some reason your videos are more helpful than any other i’ve seen
At first I tried with the hobby lobby videos but they didn't help. He is so much better at explaining things and he has a nice voice ❤️
I am just getting started knitting on DPNs, and your video was really helpful. It is very clear, your pace is nice and slow, as well as your calm way of explaining things. Big thank you. I feel ready to start.
Awesome video! I am so glad you showed an example of a twisted needle so I can see what it looks like and how to correct the mistake. Can't wait to practice working in the round!
I need more RJ Knits videos. Everyone else’s videos are a convoluted exercise in confusion. I got asked if I knit continental and I honestly don’t know. I knit RJ method.
Now, if I can figure out how to make socks, I’ll be golden. I’ve been a crocheter for quite awhile and knitting seemed more complicated than necessary.
Please keep making videos
Ryan I love all your videos! You taught me how to knit and I'm not that bad because of you. Your videos are easy to understand which is why i always look to you when i want to learn something new.
Hi Ryan! You taught me how to knit! Wow I never thought I could do it. Now onto this round thing! Looks scary but I can do anything with Ryan's help...my new bestie xoxoxo
Best teacher ever! Not sure if I'll ever get to this point but you make it less intimidating. Thank you!
excellent, nice pace and clear pictures. much the best instructional for knitting in the round that I've found! thankyou
I am twelve and I really like knitting and this guy has helped me ever since I started knitting at 11 years old and he is a great teacher my siblings are all older than me and think I’m an old lady and it’s a funny joke.
HI RYAN!! I'm binging on your videos because you're the best teacher!
Omg! I cant believe you're demonstrating using metal needles...I'm stuck on wooden because I always lose my stitches off metal needles. Well done video!
I actually like wooden needles so much more than metal ones... to each their own i guess haha
Thank you! This doesn’t seem so scary anymore. I always thought this must be the most complicated, advanced knitting, but it doesn’t seem so bad!
I'm learning this and it always helps ❤ thank you for those detailed videos ☺️☺️❤❤
You are the best teacher all other videos seem so complicated thankyou so much
I like how you're holding all your needles..less one...in one hand...Great job!!!
You're a project saver. This is the best explanation I've seen.
Thank you for that tip on how to close the corners! I’m ready to try knitting on Dp needles again!
Thank you for this video. I'm still trying to get the hang of casting-on, straight needs, DPN, circular needs. It's seriously got me chase my tail. After watching this one, I need to watch more of RJ's videos.
Holy smokes I’M DOING IT! Thanks!!!!
Thank you RJ Knits. You are the best. London. xx
Thank you!!! The thing that was holding me back from knitting in the round was loose corners..thank you for solving that problem..subbed :)
We’re my quarantining squad at?
Thanks so much for the advice about tightening up the beginning of the round!! I’ve been searching everywhere!! You’re the best!!
You got 121K subscribers because today I subscribe you with my family and friends' devices.
Thank you! I'm new to knitting and found this so very helpful!!
Tricia, the important thing is tension. You don't want to have ladders between needles, always pull the yarn taught when knitting the first stitch. Its also better to do a knitted cast on or a long tail cast on when working in the round. It will help keep the stitches on the needle. Also be sure not to twist your knitting whilst joining.
Cool demO! I'll have to try it! Thank you!
OK. I didn't know that you use a new needle to knit the next section when knitting in the round. I guess I thought you had to use the needle next to the section. I'm not sure how or why it all works, but that was a big thing to learn. I bought some dpns so now I can try it. Thanks for being so clear.
Your videos make so much sense! Thank you!
Good Tutorial Ryan! Thank you! I want to learn the Cable
Thank you ❤
that was useful very particularly !
Me remembering I need double pointed needles
Me going to buy them
Me buying a package with four instead of five
Try knitting they said. It’s easy and relaxing they said. It’s just two needles they said. 🤣
but couldnt you do this with the rounded needles?
I have one question when you do ribbing rows with purl stitches how many rows would I need to do?
I don't have that much needle so can I use a pair
❤
I only use 4 needles when knitting in a round... thoughts?
Here's a video for you! th-cam.com/video/s0LkNM2ojZA/w-d-xo.html
Or this th-cam.com/video/s0LkNM2ojZA/w-d-xo.html
I love u and how u teach. yr awesome. ❤️❤️
Wait so the beginning needs to be divided equally among all needles?? Plz help
So If you want something bigger, you add more needles?
Thanks a lot! You are great!
I really want to make a sweater dress.. but not sure how.. can you do a tutorial on one? Or something similar to it? I just need the basic idea of how big itll be
I just started my first DPN project as a beg knitter at a knitting group. Without realizing it I knitted one needle and instead of adding in the newly empty 4th needle I knitted without it. A woman fixed it somehow. Went home. And did it again. I think I have my knitting now on 2 needles instead of 3 and am totally lost. This apparently common mistake is not addressed anywhere on the web!
Hi Giesela! This is pretty common. I should do a quick-hit video about this! Your knitting is not ruined, don't worry! If I'm understanding your problem correctly, you should be able to take a new needle and use that to start knitting the stitches that are probably all stuffed onto one of your other needles.
Now, to spread your knitting back out onto 3 needles (or more, if you want), stop knitting with that new needle when you're about halfway through the stitches on the other needle (in your left hand). Set aside the new needle, then bring in another new needle to knit off the remaining stitches.
Hopefully that is somewhat helpful! I'm awful at giving knitting tips via TH-cam comment. ;)
RJ Knits
I so appreciate a real reply! unfortunately i'm not following:( The woman at knitting circle just sort of looped them off the one needle back onto the third needle somehow? I say "looped" I don't know what she was doing but it sort of looked like she was putting one stitch over the other....maybe dropping a stitch to go back to the way it was?
Wondered why the knitting needle kit came with multiples of each #.. My knitting needles are pairs connected (circular needles?) because that's what was suggested for knitting socks and hats. Does this replace using the 5 needles as your video demonstrates? Again, great video. Watching them is calming for something that is intimidating! :)
Im pretty sure it does :)
Can you use circular needles for this
How would I rid myself of the corner holes when I'm knitting in a pattern, such as ribbing?
For example, if I were knitting a 2x2 rib... should I just knit (or purl) the first two stitches, depending on where I am in the round when I reach a "new" needle?
You would need to have a 4 stitxh multiple
hello when it comes to the next needle are you suppose to keep it tight or are you to leave it a little lose
I would have to use different coloured needles to know where I was
I am 27 yo male and have a hard time getting the grip of dpn knitting. sounds easy to do, but is it?
That's so helpful and you're an amazing teacher, thank you so much! I was wondering, are needles sized 5-6 a good match for socks?
Can you use circular knitting needles to knit socks?
there are methods (magic loop I think), but it´s better to use multiple needles i think
How do I add another color yarn?
Does the size of hat youre making change the amount of needles you are using?
how do you decrease and increase? how do i change to dpn from a magic circle needles?
Hi I'm trying, the key word here, to knit a pair of socks. It's a 75% wool yarn so it's a thick super fine but still super fine (1). I'm having a terrible time getting my first row to come out looking good. My loops are coming off my left needle way too big and leaves a horrible looking what will be the top of my sock. I am using a K2, P2 ribbing for the cuff and on my purls the loops are coming off pretty big as well and looks sloppy. Any tips to help with this? I have trouble with anything (4) weights or under doing this. Thanks a lot for any advice you can offer.
Jordan Bajcar I've discovered that for me the sloppiness of the cast on row was due to the cast on method I was using. Long tail cast on is more stretchy and elastic and flexes. Not sloppy looking. Just my experience is all. Good luck.
¿Qué número de aguja está usando en el video?
thank you
I use 3 to 4 DPNs at the same time. Any thoughts about this one?
Did he knit his shirt
how would i bind off dpn when im done with ny project?
This looks so hard
That is a very lazy cast on method. Don't you find it messy and loose? I'm not saying to the overly complex 1 by 1 knitting method but the long tail is very easy and secure. Also, you should consider circular needles and magic loop for round knitting. They're far more practical. DPNs are just old school and knitters like to be traditional but they're pointless (ironically).
After watching many other cast on videos leaving me frustrated. RJ's videos are to the point without being too simple or too complex. Other videos over-explain what is actually an easy cast-on technique. He's probably using these needles for 'in the round knitting' to show the more traditional or hardest way to knit in the round. I also have circular needles but am glad to have seen how to use the straight needles.Traditional methods give a great foundation. :)
@@lilayu40 If it works for you, that's all that matters. I find the long tail cast on to be the best combination of easy and tight. To each their own.
