How to block an acrylic top down cardigan.

wombat1,
How do I block an acrylic top down baby cardigan, please and is this worth doing? I couldn’t find anything helpful online. I’ve only ever blocked bottom up woollen jumper pieces before seaming. Thank you

ISO a similar pattern

osunurse91,
Does anyone have a recommendation for a similar pattern to the Mini Moshi Rainbow hat? I understand that it is discontinued and no longer available. I would like something similar with raised pattern for the color change. I am not skilled enough to create my own pattern. I have this yarn and strugg…

not using the recommended yarn

Gracealexa,
First time posting here so I hope I’m doing it right. I had a question for the experienced knitters out there! How does one go about figuring out how much yarn is necessary when using a weight other than what was suggested in the pattern? I have been successful in making a gauge swatch and adjustin…

A Little Rhyme

doonya,
I learned to mend when I was a young girl, by the same grandmother who taught me to knit. Much to my surprise, it turns out that I’m pretty good at mending things, no matter what the fabric. And somewhere along the line I made up a little rhyme. “Any stitch once pulled too tight Will never again la…

Hoodie

/u/Hairy_Log5550,
.. Just finished this today and is currently blocking! Pattern is the Cable Crush Hoodie by Knitatude and the yarn is Corrie Worsted by LaBien Aimee in The Shire and Carmel. I know once it's dry, imma live in this cozy hoodie.

New project idiocy

/u/SonandAIR,
Does anyone else get so excited when starting a new project that you find yourself confidently (and incorrectly) steaming ahead with a new project, only to realise 10 rows in that you need to frog? I very much know how to raglan increase (for example ) but every single time when the "oooh, new yarn…

Advent newbie

Riveryb,
I’m an advent newbie. I got a 25 day, 20g mini skein advent and I’m looking for a good project to knit with it. I want to knit a shawl or wrap, nothing with charts or a lot of lace/cables. I want the colours to shine. Thanks

My Hitofude

/u/x24601x,
.. I started this Hitofude somewhere around 6 years ago not long after I learned how to knit. It was a bit overwhelming then and went into my closet about a third of a way thru the arms. I finally worked up the courage and restarted it in October. I’m somewhat amazed that I finished it in a little ove…

Je n'arrive pas à corriger mon erreur

Alexkieffer,
Bonsoir, Avant de poser ma question sur le forum de Ravelry, j’ai tenté de me renseigner en regardant moult et moult vidéo sur YouTube. Je n’ai pas trouvé de solution “rapide” pour éviter de tout défaire pour corriger mon erreur. Je m’explique, je suis en train de tricoter le pull “Rose moon” de ch…

What does this mean? Why are there no numbers?

/u/Applebottomgenes75,
.. What does it mean when there are no numbers in the circled brackets? I'm knitting the sixth size, and on just this part there are no numbers. In the rest of the pattern, there are numbers in the square brackets.

Need help with Hirari Sweater pattern

thisClaireLou,
I am very confused about a section of the Hirari Pullover . On Page 2 it starts instructions for the Shoulder Shaping. Is this separate from the Right Shoulder instructions on Page 3? When it says to BO2 at the beginning of next 2 rows 12 times - does this mean I bind off for 2 rows and the knit in…

MrsFTT,
Please help!! Does anyone have any leftover yarn Balance Alpaca in color Turquoise Blue? I am 2/3 of the way through my project and I will not have enough to complete it. Unfortunately I ordered this yarn over a year ago and the manufacturer does not have any more in stock, nor do they plan on maki…

So stoked with how these mittens came out!

/u/indybug,
.. I made the design, though I blatantly plagiarized the Chewie face from the “Knitting the Galaxy” sock pattern. I own the book, but I don’t like making socks, and I didn’t want the great little Chewbacca face to go to waste, so I thought I’d use it here.I had a lot of fun coming up with the pattern …

Confused by pattern instructions-beginner

MomBres,
I’m knitting a hat with the Parkside hat pattern. I’m starting the crown. The crown shaping creates a 5 point star. The instructions state: Next rnd - Dec rnd: Work 5 sets in rib part, CCD, work 4 sts in rib part; rep from to end of row. This instruction I understand. It’s the next row that confuse…
