This is the last part in a 3 part series on knitting in the round at small diameters: this one focuses on knitting in the round with one long circular needle - commonly called the magic loop technique. Other videos show knitting with double pointed needles and 2 circulars. Check out all our free online tutorials at Stitchdiva.com
Hi! I like this video. I'm a new knitter and was afraid of trying this technique, but thanks to you I see is much easier than dpn's. I have problems with my hands and trying to learn with dpn's was a disaster. Now I'm going to try with the magic loop. Again, thank you very very much,for you effort and for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks! I think it was from setting them down and not knowing where I was before!

I enjoyed the video and it "may" have cleared the confusion up for me. I just wish I could find a video of making a hat using magic loop that actually gets down to the nitty gritty of my problem, doing the decrease rounds near the top of the brim. It is driving me nuts thinking I can't do it because I can't find someone doing it in a video. I have learned to knit on my own and Youtube is the only way I can learn from a "knitter"

First, this was really helpful for me. Second, "a tunnel for your kid to crawl through."
That made my day.

That's a very clear demo (though a wool colour that contrasted with the background colour would have been even better). I'm not sure that magic loop will be for me, but at least I know how it works now.

@00Tuesday I had similar experiences with the dbn. I can DO this with the magic loop. THANKS

OMG, I have been struggling with dpns for weeks now, getting more and more frustrated at them. Crocheting and knitting have always been soothing for me, but when I found a very small pattern (where you cast on only five stitches), I HAD to work it. And until I found this video, I was pulling my hair out. Thank you for letting us know about this method!!!

can you do a video of knitting 2 things like socks or something using the magic loop or 2 circular needles? that would help me out a lot.
