Hi Marly ! Thanks, I just finished my first knit thanks to this tutorial !! It took me 2 months and a half (oh yeah, I started in August ;) and I un-knitted everything at least once during this process. I adapted it to the kind of wool I had, but I almost did everything the same. We got our first snow yesterday in Canada and I’m so happy I got this in time ! I didn’t knitted since I was 5 years old with my last grandma and my mom, and I feel so grateful that I get to feel closer to her, up there, and my mom, 6000km away in France, by knitting myself. Thank you for taking the time to do a super detailed video, I wouldn’t have pursued without it.
I love all your videos, I'm learning a lot with you. I love knitting is my life, I'm disable I have mobility issues and knitting keeps me relax and entertain, and I'm really enjoying what I like the most knitting, and you make easer for me. Thank you very much for all your teaching. MR
There's a video attached to the Yarnspirations pattern, but the instructor doesn't show how to do the seam. I wish I had seen this video the first two times I made a headband, but now I know it's here. Thanks Marly!! Also, I did a regular knit bind off for my first headband, but I found that edge to be much tighter than the long-tail cast on edge. Folks might wanna try a stretchy bind off so the tube will be stretchier!
You are amazing Marly! I am a beginner knitter and by far, your video was very to follow. Your explanation was great and you are very pleasant to watch and learn from. Can't wait to start making this headband!
Finished, the headband looks good, it fits, it is warm, I was a bit worried, because I used different wool and more stitches, your explanation about little details is so good, I'm from Holland, living in Swizerland, at the moment it freezes an couple of degrees, I'm happy.
I've knitted since childhood but always had my Mom there to get me out of a bind ("Don't split your yarn!"). She has passed and I now you are helping me get out of my comfort zone by trying new patterns and techniques. I am producing beanies and sweaters like crazy! Thank you for your excellent explanations and easy patterns.
Ooh, I love it, thank you. 🙏🌹❤️ It’s so pretty! 😍❤️😍 This design makes me think that since I can’t knit, I could possibly achieve this pattern design with a Möbius Scarf design, but just in a simple sc, with head measurements! Thank you so much, Dear Sweet, Wonderful & Beautiful Marly Bird!!! 😍❤️🙏😘🌹
This will be my first knitting project after crocheting for about 2 years. Somehow I ended up with 43 stitches in the 5th row.. Oopsies. This is a great project for learning!
Positively going to knit this headband, super easy and never knew how I would do the twist. My question is you talk of the length of the head band being 21 inches, but how broad would the band be in inches. Can you make it broader at the start, if so by how many stitches approx. Warm wishes and many thanks , Yvonne
Oh I understand! It’s just so unusual for you. Where were you filming during the 24 Days of Quickies? Was that just your temporary setup in the dining room?
Just wondering if this could be done in the round on circular needles. Bind off then you already have one end closed . Then twist and finish like you did
Thank you so much for this video! I was wondering, since you use 39 stitches, and you start with a knit for the first row (at 5:50), your last one will also be a knit because it's an uneven amount. So shouldn't you start with a purl then for the second row (at 11:40) in order to put purls on top of stitches? I don't recognize the purl/stitches properly yet so I have to rely on memory :D
I'm so confused because I did 39 stitches same as you and I started with knit and ended with knit so surely I start with purl on the next row but you did not? You started with knit both times?
It’s a seed stitch. You want to work the opposite stitch than what you see when the fabric is facing you. If you end with a knit, when you turn your work you will see a Purl so you will knit it. If I purled the Purl I would end up with stockinette stitch. Take a look at the written instructions too as that might help :)
I was asking my granma same question. It doesn't matter, only your preference on style. :3 But my granny taught me have feed yarn on left hand. I think it's better that way.
She was showing two different ways of knitting. Some people prefer the throwing (english) method and some the continental (yarn fed from the left). There are several more ways to knit, but these two are the most common ones.
Hi Marly, its nice to watch your video, i just came in and join as your new subscriber, if possible ,can you please make one tutorial how to make the chef hat, thanks
Marley, I have a question for you. I have been knitting for about three years. I have found that my fingers have become very dry and cracked. Have you ever heard of knitters complain of this and if so is there anything that you can recommend. Love this twisted headband. 😊 thank you
Yes, this does happen. I have found that using a lanolin based cream on my hands helps a LOT. I love this one: www.lilivestockco.com/shepherdess-body-butters/
Lovely, thank you Marly. Question: I’ve been knitting and crocheting for 50+ years and now I find that after an hour or two my left thumb pad - near my wrist - aches and starts to cramp badly. Do you have any suggestions for avoiding this?
Hi Kim I am not Marly 😏 but I get hand & wrist soreness too. I make a big point to sit comfortably and stretch my fingers hands & wrists! As well as focusing your eyes on something distant and hopping up enery now and then ( & or foot flexing and extending) we definitely have to take care of ourselves 😊🧶! Best wishes Luv yah 💕
Thanks for this video/tutorial Marley 😁 can any other type of yarn be used with pattern. I need to use my yarn stash I already have before I buy any more yarn😉🤗
How much yarn does it take for one headband? Is there much left of one ball when finished? Cant find the Bernat yarn in my country so looking for alternatives :)
Your video has amazing step-by-step directions, but I just cannot get knitting down! I'm a crochet veteran, and the "knit and pearl" stitches are quite confusing to me. Perhaps I should just stick with crochet!
Have you had a chance to check out the series i did here on TH-cam called BiCrafty Bootcamp: Knitting for Crocheters? I use crochet terms and relate crochet stitches to knitting to help you become a knitter and thus BiCrafty. You should check it out.
I love the way you show both ways to knit. Love this easy for beginners pattern.

I really like how you included the continental stitch at 7:37 because there are a lot of tutorials that don't explain other ways to do the stitches.
What a fantastic instructor you are after many tries at long tail casting you you are the one that showed me how. Thank you
@@brendacrisp3549 thank you

I wonder if you have an easy pattern for winter hats that is really plain. For some reason, my daughter wants one like that.
Marly, I just love your personality! Hugs!
Great headband as you say Super Cool!
Thanks Marly, your video came out just in time 😅 I just started this project and I needed to see how to finish it.
Thank you Marly...you make me think I can knit...LOL. Great easy quick pattern.
Thank you!! Great tutorial as always!!
Very excited about this! I’m learning knitting and already have that yarn (with no project in mind until now).
I love you Marly ❤️❤️
Lovley! Goin' to do this for my crafting class. Thank you!🥰
Thank you so much you are the best.❤️❤️❤️

❤❤❤🧶 must try this ASAP! 😍
Great video for beginners and above. Looking forward to trying out this yarn.
This will be my first knitting project after crocheting for about 2 years. Somehow I ended up with 43 stitches in the 5th row.. Oopsies. This is a great project for learning!
I’m glad you’re learning!
Excellent tutorial! TY!
Excellent
Thanks
Thank you
Will have to try this.
Beautiful!!!! 💜💜💜
Hi Marly, thank you for this tutorial. Do you have one for a completed turban with the twist in it?
Positively going to knit this headband, super easy and never knew how I would do the twist. My question is you talk of the length of the head band being 21 inches, but how broad would the band be in inches. Can you make it broader at the start, if so by how many stitches approx. Warm wishes and many thanks , Yvonne
You absolutely can. Size is completely customizable
can i make the width shorter, say 19 stitches, which in this case i wont have to fold it so the headband is just thin?
Great video. I’m just not used to see you on that plain background! 💕💕
It's the best I can do at this time. Hopefully I will get a chance to build another studio and have my background back.
Oh I understand! It’s just so unusual for you. Where were you filming during the 24 Days of Quickies? Was that just your temporary setup in the dining room?
Just wondering if this could be done in the round on circular needles. Bind off then you already have one end closed . Then twist and finish like you did
Can you use red heart yarn
100%
Thank you for including great suggestions. I can't wait to try this.
Thank you so much for this video! I was wondering, since you use 39 stitches, and you start with a knit for the first row (at 5:50), your last one will also be a knit because it's an uneven amount.

If I end with a knit, that makes it a purl on the other side. So when I turn my work, I will be looking at a purl so I want to knit it.
@@MarlyBird so in theory you always start with a knit in this case? That already explains a lot! Thank you
@@MarlyBird this told me so much I did not realize! Thank you for explaining that!
@@saarreynhout thank you for asking these questions…. I didn’t even know I had that question and seriously helped explain sooo much!
I'm so confused because I did 39 stitches same as you and I started with knit and ended with knit so surely I start with purl on the next row but you did not? You started with knit both times?

If I purled the Purl I would end up with stockinette stitch.
Take a look at the written instructions too as that might help :)
Can I just use chunky wool instead of the chenille,?
Thanks for a great video. :-)
Marly why do you switch the feed yarn from the right hand to the left? Is it at a specific spot? Thank you for your help. Great video!
I was asking my granma same question. It doesn't matter, only your preference on style. :3 But my granny taught me have feed yarn on left hand. I think it's better that way.

Hi Marly, its nice to watch your video, i just came in and join as your new subscriber, if possible ,can you please make one tutorial how to make the chef hat, thanks
i like very much . the best i ever seen
Hi Marly it looks really pretty, is there a crochet version?
Luv yah 💕
What do you mean about stich?
Where is the twisted knitted top over shoulder?
How can I put this on pause when your putting it together I need it a little slower thank you
Press on the 'settings' button on the bottom right of the video and put the speed at 0.25 ;)
Clicking on the center of the video will pause it at that point. Clicking again, will restart it.
Why the complicated casting on method please? My size UK 5mm needles (look huge) compared to yours! Giving it a try anyway! Thanks

I don't get the second part
Thanks for this video/tutorial Marley 😁 can any other type of yarn be used with pattern. I need to use my yarn stash I already have before I buy any more yarn😉🤗
you can use any yarn you want that is the same weight.
@@MarlyBird perfect 👍 and thank you again for your videos/tutorials 😁🤗
How much yarn does it take for one headband? Is there much left of one ball when finished? Cant find the Bernat yarn in my country so looking for alternatives :)
It didn't use too much. there was a LOT of the ball left over.
What pattern is your scarf?
