Folded brim on hat - RS/WS designs
CathyWeeks,
I’m working on hat design with a folded brim. The brim itself has design elements on it (cables in this case). The last time I designed a hat like this, here’s how I approached it: I knitted the brim normally. Then I worked 2 purl rounds to form a fold/break, then I turned the hat brim inside out, …

Bohemia on worsted steel
SusanEC1960,
My friend is looking for this wool for a pattern she has, but it appears to be discontinued. Does anyone know if it’s DK, 4ply or whatever? I’d like to help her source a substitute Thanks

I made an undercover busy blanket for a person with dementia
/u/AlfwynBenedict,
.. My grandmother has dementia, but she doesn't really know it and doesn't want most of the specialized stuff or therapies. She is always cold though and her affliction made her hands a bit restless. So I made her 'just a small blanket', and 'I wanted to try different techniques'. So it has several di…

cast off round folds to outside
slowandsteady,
I’m doing my first pair of fingertip-less gloves. I’m using sport weight yarn and US #3 needles. I’ve made the fingers long enough to just reach the bottom of my fingernails. Now I notice that my “standard” cast off (k2, pass 1st stitch over 2nd, repeat around) is folding to the outside of the roun…

I've been knitting sleeves wrong
/u/yarn_bread,
Everytime I knitted sleeves, I lifted up my entire project so the twist from knitting in the round would unwind itself. It's manageable, bu when I work on the second sleeve, it gets a bit clumsy. Today I just realised I could just turn my needles clockwise to get the twist out. 🤡 Much more efficien…

This took me 12 hours…
/u/chiccrochet,
.. I’ve never knitted anything before as far as a whole project…. I’m making a sweater now in panels and just little bit took 12hrs 🥹🤦🏾‍♀️. It’s okay though bc it’s fun. Also, am I feeling cocky or does it look pretty good?

Totally tubular?
CathyWeeks,
Ok, I just learned how to do a tubular cast on, the version where you CO with a provisional/scrap yarn. I’m amazed and kind of in love with it - that CO has some mysterious magic to it. First off, I HATE casting on when the project requires a large number of CO stitches - being able to CO half that…

Modifying a crew neck that’s too high
sewin44,
Hello, I love the Felix cardigan and sweater pattern , but the one part I’m dissatisfied with is how high the front of the sweater sits in my neck. I like the construction, fit, and finished garment otherwise. Is there a tutorial somewhere specifically for using a staggered start method , or some o…
