how can i close those double stitches?! :O im a very very beginner knitter and i want to make a nose warmer cos my bf asked me for one, and i was thinking about this one, but i dont know much about it. any suggestions?
Great Instruction! Just wish it was clearer and that the camera kept your work focused in the center... Other then that I can say I like this better then the circular needle method . Tip... I noticed you shared that your stitches can look a bit out of sorts when having to frog your stitches back up from any errors... I find that using a crochet need helps to eliminate any stretching along with making your stitches look far more uniform. This method is certainly a keeper and again thanks!
would you be able to do cables while using this method? i don't own double pointed needles and i can't afford them, but i want to make seamless ipod cases (this is the perfect method!), but cabled. is it possible?
@KloCreations I've never tried using a cable with this method. I think it would be a lot harder. But double pointed needles are relatively the same price as regular needles.
I'm not sure how you would do a cable with this. I'm having a hard time picturing the best way to try.
@PleasantSeas thanks, i found some of my mums old circular needles and taught myself the magic loop method, so its good. I still need to try this though, it looks easier (just without the cables....) :P
@jjmarsee To make an open tube, you would have to separate the stitches on two needles, with equal stitches on the front and back needle. Then with a third needle you would slip the stitch from the front needle to the third one, and slip a stitch from the back needle onto the third needle, and continue till you have all the stitches on the third needle, alternating from the front and back needle. Then you would go to the start of the stitches and knit 1, put yarn in front slip 1....
@ashleymalone1 To keep it an open circle you would do the pattern (without knitting) and separate the stitches on two needles. Then bind/cast off as normal.
So glad I found this tutorial. Very well done. @PleasantSeas - don't give up. Come back and try this method. You'll get it if you keep trying. Thanks PleasantSeas.
@PleasantSeas - I still find it quite confusing. I tried this method a few times and just could not get the hang of it. I decided to keep using circular needles or double pointed needles. It's easier. DPNs can be cumbersome and slow, but at least I understand the method.
This is a really great video. Easy to follow and it explains everything I need to know. Thanks so much for it and I will certainly be using your videos next time I need something explained
Fab video - very easy to follow! I thought this would be a great way to do a little ipod cover but then messed up at the end since I didn't know how to bind off when I did the front to back bit!
@malcmc129 For binding off, you would take two empty double pointed needles and do the same technique as if you were knitting another round, but you wouldn't knit any stitches. Just transfer these stitches to the double pointed needles. So you would have like the purl stitches on one needle and the knit stitches on the other needle. Then you would take just one needle (where to yarn has come from) and you would bind off as normal. Then switch to the next needle and bind off normal too. :)
Does it matter whether you start with knitting or purling first despite the even/uneven amount of stitches on one row?
Like here you have 15 stitches, you start the first row with a knit and end it with a knit, when you do the second row, you slip the first stitch.
If I had 10 stitches, and start with knit on the first row, I'll end with the purl/slip. Do I continue with a knit on the first stitch of the second row or not? XD
This is so inspiring!!! I'm quite new to knitting and only have straight needles, I'm keen to make socks and was going to attempt to make them with this principle... do you think it will work? Still have to turn that heel though...
@smnplmr I bet this would work for a sock, just not all of it. If you started the sock from the ankle, do that part with double pointed needles, then you could switch and do it this method for the body of the sock. Then switch for the heel and head back to this for the toe, then split them up on double points for the closing of the toe. It might work. I've never tried it. Let me know how it turns out if you do try.
Your comment made me think of making a sock video. I'll make one of those soon.
I was thinking of starting from the toe as your technique here creates a nice seam-free one... then when the time to turn the heel comes just seperate and knit on straights, sew the seams together, maybe return to get to the ankle (I'm still trying to push my luck and do everything on 2 needles, I don't have dpns).
To test this and make a shapely toe, I experimented with increasing the stitches (k1f&b) with the above technique last night, and failed miserably!

Is there a video showing what she suggested at 6:48 ?
I want to make a rounded edge for a knitted hat, but I only have straight knitting needles.
The needles are long, so I think this may be possible.

I have found this pattern very useful, but could you explain how to make an open tube do you start with the k1psl1 pattern or something different?

@jjmarsee put yarn in back knit 1 and continue. I hope you can understand my explaining and it wasn't to jumbled. Glad this video could help.

@kaykaypeace1999 You would separate the stitches between the back and the front stitches and bind off normally.
PleasantSeas 1 year ago
How do you cast off/bind off once they are seperated at the end, so they dont come apart when you take it off the needles?

I don't really understand how to do this, seeing as I knit in the Eastern European method, not Continental or English style.
gypsyqueen64 1 year ago
@gypsyqueen64 Basically it's just knit 1, yarn in front, slip next stitch as purl, yarn in back, knit 1 and repeat.

@BakaNoshi On the second row, if you have a purl stitch you would slip it. If it was a knit stitch you would go ahead and knit it.
Hope I understood and helped. If not, let me know.
