lol I think the secret is in the tension, but as you can see from the pink ball, I haven't figured it out myself yet 😅

Hi! Good question! 😊 Let me explain how I got 90 stitches: You start by casting on 84 stitches and knitting in the round for a while. When you switch to knitting flat, there’s a setup row where you first decrease 3 stitches (down to 81). Then, you increase 9 stitches by doing a "kfb" (knit front and back) after every 7 stitches (k7, kfb). That brings you to a total of 90 stitches. Hope this helps!

@counting_rows Thank you, do you have any advice for how to fix it?

Hi! Here’s how I would adjust the stitch count: I’d skip the decreases in the setup row. It would look like this: Setup row: 2 edge stitches, k34, place marker, k15, place marker, k34, 2 edge stitches Then, in the next decrease row, I’d remove just one stitch: Decrease row: 2 edge stitches, k34, place marker, k13, k2tog, place marker, k34, 2 edge stitches This should help you get to the correct stitch count. I hope this works for you! 😊

😊 thank you

Thank you! I’m so glad the tutorial was helpful and that your first knitting project turned out so nicely. Wishing you lots of fun with future projects! 😊

Thank you, I’m glad the tutorial was helpful. ❤ If you’d like a regular fit, you could try skipping the increases, but to avoid too much trial and error, it might be easier to find a pattern specifically designed for a standard fit. I hope that helps!

Hi, I'm not sure I fully understand your question. Before you start the decrease rounds you should have 90 stitches on your needles for the stitch count to work out correctly. If your stitch count is slightly off, let me know how many stitches you have. I've already helped someone with a similar problem in the comments, so that might be useful for you. There isn't a specific pattern, but I've posted a summary on my Ko-fi blog that might help as well. ko-fi.com/post/Loose-Fit-Balaclava--Oversize-Hood-Beginner-Frie-G2G0169MP9

@ Hi beautiful, thank u so much for putting in the effort to reply! 🌷 I have 72 stitches on my needles..

Hi, thank you for the update! 🌷 Based on your stitch count, I think the issue might have happened during the set-up row, right after the ribbing. This row should increase the stitch count from 84 to 90 stitches. If decreases were accidentally made instead of the kfb (knit front and back) increases, that could explain the missing stitches. Could you double-check this part to see if the increases were done correctly? If not, you might need to go back and rework this row to ensure the correct stitch count before continuing. Alternatively, since you end with 74 stitches anyway, you can continue without the decreases until you reach a total length of 45 cm (measured from the cast-on) and then move on to the Kitchener stitch part (at 14:03). But bear in mind, this will make the hood less oversize. It might be a good idea to try it on and decide how you want to proceed based on the fit. Let me know if you need more guidance - happy to help! 😊

@ Hi love thank you so much for your guidance. I decided to be more “messy” about it and figure it out as I go and it still turned out fabulous! Thank you once again keep up with your amazing work 🪷💗

I’m so happy to hear it turned out fabulous! 😊 Sometimes the best results come from just going with the flow and figuring things out along the way. tbh, I was a bit afraid I might have discouraged you with my answer, but I’m glad you found your own way!

Thanks for your comment 🧡 The gauge shows how many stitches and rows fit into a 10 x 10 cm square in stockinette stitch (usually). To check, knit a small swatch and measure 10 x 10 cm. Count how many stitches go across and how many rows go up. If you have more stitches, try bigger needles. If you have fewer, go smaller. This helps your project turn out the right size. (It doesn’t have to match the numbers exactly, but try to get as close as possible.) If you’re not sure how to make a swatch, search “gauge swatch” on RUclips - there are lots of helpful videos to guide you. Let me know if you have more questions 😊

The bag measures 38 x 42 cm (about 15 x 16.5 inches), with each square approximately 12.5 x 12.5 cm (5 x 5 inches). Feel free to ask if you'd like more details! 😊

Yes, I usually use the yarn right away. However, I also re-wind used yarn to keep things organized and make storing leftovers a little less messy.

I totally get that! Sometimes it takes seeing things from different perspectives before it clicks. I'm really glad I could help! 😊

I could, but winding it first just feels smoother to work with.

@ thank you for the reply I am new to crocheting so I did not know

😅

That ‘how do I do this again?’ moment is so real! 😂 Glad I’m not the only one!

Hi Emily! Not a pain at all-happy to help 😊. The yarns I used are Hobbii Tweed Delight in Ivory Neon (02), Drops Melody in Mustard (18), Off White (1), and Light Blue (21), and Gründl Shetland in Rose Melange (1), Creme Melange (4), Light Green (2), and Jeans Melange (3)

Thank you so much, that’s very helpful and kind of you to share those details 😊. Emily

Hi! Stockinette stitch means you knit all stitches on the right side (the front of your work) and purl all stitches on the wrong side (the back of your work). For 5 rows in stockinette, you alternate between knitting a row and purling a row. In this case you start with a purl row. Don’t forget to work the 2 edge stitches. Let me know if that clears it up! 😊

@counting_rowsTy so much! i finished it and it's my first knitting work. What a perfect pattern

Have you tried blocking? Wet or steam blocking can help relax the fibers and reduce curling 😊. Be careful with steam on acrylic to avoid melting! If that doesn’t work, I’m sorry I don’t have another solution 😔

@counting_rows thank you! Your pastel colors are so gorgeous 🥰

I'm glad you like it 😊

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm happy to hear your project turned out great. Wishing you lots of fun with your future knitting! 😊

Thank you for your feedback! In the video, I use a swatch to explain the pattern so you can create your own version of the scarf. It’s meant to be a guide rather than a step-by-step tutorial for the scarf shown in the thumbnail. I hope the video still gives you the information you need to make something beautiful! 😊

Thanks a lot! 😊 Hope it turns out great - it’s such a sweet idea for a gift! 🎁

Thank you for replying I am a beginner to knitting I really appreciate your help x

Thanks for your comment! I don’t have a separate pattern for this, but I’ve explained how I made it in the video description. Since the description can be hard to find in Shorts, I’ve shared the details in a pinned comment here. I hope this helps! ✨

Yay! 😊 So happy to hear that! I hope it keeps you warm and cozy all winter long ⛄ Enjoy!

Thank you! 😊 I used a 4mm (G) crochet hook for this project

Having one stitch less is no big problem at all! I would double-check the row count just to be sure, but if it’s still off, here’s what I would do: I’d simply skip one decrease. For the setup row, it would look like this: 2 edge stitches, k 34, place marker, ssk, k 15 (instead of k 14, k2tog), place marker, k 34, 2 edge stitches. This way, you’ll have the correct number of stitches moving forward. Let me know if you have any other questions! 😊

@ great thanks so much!

Glad it was helpful! 😊

😊

That’s right! You repeat *k7, kfb* 9 times, and then knit the last 8 stitches (k8)

Thanks so much for your comment! 😊 I used 3 balls of DROPS Nepal and 1 ball of Diablo by Hobbii for this project. Let me know if you need any more details! 🧶

A cushion cover sounds like a great idea! I think this pattern is perfect for home decor 😊 What colors are you thinking of? 😄

Yay! Thank you! ☺️

I’m sure you can do it! 😊 I tried my best to make everything as clear as possible. 😅 If you have any questions, feel free to reach out - I’m happy to help. Enjoy giving it a try!
