Modified Magic Loop

This is just what I was looking for! I hate dpns and really wanted to figure out how to knit a hat without having to invest a small fortune in needles. Thanks so much for sharing :)

Since I've never done this before, I don't understand what you did here. Some explanation and commentary would have been helpful.

Are you using the real "Magic Loop" or regular circ'? How would this work for socks, and what length needle would be best?

This is what I did for my first hat! I started on size 10, 20" circs and switched to 16" and then when it got REALLY small I did just what you are doing. I do know how to do the regular magic loop, but this seemed much easier. It worked out fine. May I never touch a set of DPNs ever heh.

I do it this way, too! Before I knew the "real" magic loop method, I thought that's what people meant. :)

I knit just like you! What do you do when you get to the end of the round??
I still have yet to conquer Magic loop.
thank you,
