Yes a number 8 is usually recommended for a medium weight yarn. However for mittens I like to go down a couple sizes so the result is a more dense fabric making for a warmer mitten. Hope that helps.

You are so welcome. Glad to hear it was helpful.

Thanks for subscribing. Always great to have another knitting friend 😊

I have a few videos on adult size beanie hats. See links below. Also this baby hat will also work nicely for a toddlers hat. Just cast on more stitches. Maybe 8-10 more and knit for a few more rounds before ending. A quick and easy knitted hat.

Yes. It is not you!! Hope you found some tips on different things to try.

Yes this may happen if you find that your purling is a looser tension than your knit. If you can tighten that up that will help. I made a baby hat in double knit and both sides were equal but my tension may be different than yours.

Yes. You would need to cast on more stitches. I would recommend starting with casting on 44 stitches and see how that fits around your wrist once you have several rounds completed. You would also want to increase the gusset size continuing to do increases every 3rd round until you have like 15 stitched between your markers. You may also need to knit more rounds for the hand,cuff, and thumb. Hope that helps. Thanks for reaching out.

@@jacqknits thanks a lot for answering ❤️🥰 I'll try it this evening.

You are so welcome! Yes so easy to size. I’ve made several as well. Enjoy!

I have wanted to do one for a while but haven’t had the time yet to find a good yarn and size combination. I still have on my list to do.

Your first couple rounds are also a big stretch around the needles. The stitches are far apart but once you get a couple rounds complete and have more volume it becomes easier to knit and the stitches fill in. Try a couple rounds even if the stitches seem far apart. If that doesn’t work you can always try using double pointed needles to knit in the round and switch to your circular needles after a couple rounds.

Great. Glad it was helpful!

Thank you. I hope you give it a try sometime. You can do it!!

You’re welcome 😊 Glad you enjoyed!

You can do it! A great way to knit in the round.

As your triangle shawl grows so does the number of stitches on your needles. You would need a long circular needle to accommodate so many stitches as straight needles would be too short.

Thanks

You're most welcome

Thanks!!!

For this stitch you need to cast on a multiple of 5 stitches plus 2. For my sample I did 32. I would first try 27 stitches and see how that feels. If that is still too large go to 22. Hope that helps.

@@jacqknitsthank you

You can certainly knit these with flat needles. Just cast on stitches, knit the k1, P1 sequence for each row for as long as needed and cast off. Then just take your sides and seam together from the bottom up. Then to close the top take your yarn from the seaming of the sides and weave back and forth through the cast off edge and pull to cinch up the top and secure the end. Hope that helps.

@@jacqknits thank you so very much

Please do! So easy.

Yes. That’s exactly what it will do. You’ll start to see it take shape several rows into your chevron pattern.

I am in fact working on some samples doing a two color fisherman’s rib knitted flat but I haven’t yet figured out a good selvage edge for this. So stay tuned. Hopefully I can figure out a process that will work well and can produce a video on it.

You’re welcome 😊

I do the long tail cast on but I never start with a slip knot. I don’t like to have that knot at the start. My first loop over with the yarn counts as my first cast on stitch.

The amount of the cast on stitches will determine how wide your mittens are. If you want shorter mittens knit for fewer rows. Thanks for reaching out.

Sounds like you got it right. Just remember that on the selvedge you are knitting the knit stitches but the purl stitches you are slipping purlwise with the yarn in front. You are not actually purling those stitches in those first three stitches and last three stitches of each row, Hope that makes sense. Best of luck with this, sounds you are off to a great start and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

@@jacqknits Thank you. So far so good!

I’m not sure I really timed myself. But I think for me it takes about 2 to 3 hours or so to knit one mitten. For a beginner maybe an hour or so more? Not really sure.

Thanks. Give it a try!!

Yes. Just on your set up round knit 2 with color A and then knit 2 with color B. On the ribbing rounds and all subsequent rounds knit 2 with color A with both yarns in back. Then bring color B to the front and purl 2 and then repeat. That should look really nice.

@@jacqknits thank you! Your video was really helpful!

Glad it was helpful! Hope you give it a try again soon!!

You are very welcome. Glad this one hit the mark for you.

Yes if you have a gap in the first row where you cast on at the end you can take your tail from the cast on and stitch to close that up.

@@jacqknits thank you!

@@jacqknits also I love how you hold your needles doing this. It looks so much faster than what I do but can’t seem to mimic it.

I have a video going live in the future that shows exactly how I hold my needles. It is continental knitting. I think generally it is a faster way to knit once you get the hang of it.

You can certainly use straight needles. They would just have to be long enough to hold all your stitches.

@@jacqknits Thank you so much!! What size needles would you recommend?

I think I say in the video but for that super bulky weight yarn I would do a size US size 13.

You are so kind! Thank you!

Good luck. I'm sure it will be great!

Thank you! Cheers!

Hmmm, that is a good question and I have not tried that. It would take some time to determine with a sample swatch. However, my initial thought is that you may want to follow the technique for basic double knitting with stockinette on both sides and then just alternate which color yarn you are knitting for each stitch front and back. It may be a bit tedious way to knit, but it may be do-able. As I said I have not tried it myself, but I would be interested to know if you gave it a try.

Thank you. I do not have a pattern for that but it would be an interesting item to create. I’ll have to put it on my list. Thanks for the suggestion.

Glad it was helpful! Best of luck on your sweater. I’m sure it will turn out beautiful!!

Thanks for the visit

Wonderful! It is so much fun to do.

You may find helpful a previous video of mine that gives further instructions on the fisherman’s rib stitch if in fact that is what you are trying to do. I actually explain both the fisherman’s rib and brioche rib which is the same stitch but just done two different ways. That video can be found here Fisherman's Rib Stitch vs. Brioche Rib Stitch. What's the difference, how are they alike. ruclips.net/video/9if6pN2WZfs/видео.html

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you

❤️❤️

Yes 4mm UK.

Oh so glad this was of help to you. Thanks for sharing.

I love the fisherman's rib!!

Oh lovely!! Welcome to knitting! I'm a knitter at heart, but also am adding some crochet videos to my channel as I love doing both!!
