Question: I've never used double-pointed needles before. How do I get started working on them?

  • I am way too clumsy with DPNs, is there any other method that can be used to finish the top of the hat?

  • You could use the magic loop method (one circular needle with a long length cord) or a couple circular needles to get down to your required number of stitches...

    Good Luck & Happy Knitting!

  • The marker should be slipped to the right needle every time you pass it, and will carry up the project. It indicates the beginning of the round so that the number of rounds will come out evenly........

  • After you have placed the marker on the first round, how do you get it off when project is finished, such as a Beanie.

  • Thanks for the demo - I am off to try knitting in the round...your sound isn't good though.

  • This video is now bananas

  • Thank you so much for this video! I watch nine others before this with no luck and this one finally showed me what I was doing wrong!

  • thank you, seeing from vantage point of the knitter is what my brain needed. Mittens, socks, baby leggings the possibilities are endless!!

  • Slow it down you go way too fast when you do the cast on :(

  • best video!!!! i\and i've watched PLLLLLLLLENNNNNNNTY. thanks

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH! The fact you used big needles really helped, I watched so many videos with small needles and it looked like they were doing something complicated, when in fact it's not really much different than using circulars! Thanks again!

  • CANNOT HEAR your sound....unless I turn up FULL volume, then still not good sound. Thanks for the demo.
