You can so teach an old dog new tricks. I've been knitting for (oh my god!) 36 years and I've never seen this method of casting on. It's genius and could have helped me on many past projects. The whole tutorial was so good. Thank you for sharing this :)
For those you want to learn knitting, here is one of the best places to be. Now for you... You are so sweet, you are telling things in a so peaceful and relaxing way that you are spreading the confidence. You are one of the reasons that made me start knitting again.
I'm sitting here knitting the gap tastic cowl and started watching this video, and pretty soon I was like in a trance. haha. Watching a knitting video while knitting... It's like an endless loop.
Sooo nice to find someone knitting with english style. Every video out there is continental style and I'm tired of "transforming" the instructions to the way I actualy use. Keep doing videos, please!
Since finding your video tutorials in early 2013 I have been wanting to say a big "thank you" to you for taking the time to share your gifts for teaching, video making and knitting with those of us who learn best by watching. If you were here with me I'm sure I would hug you. Before I found you I had tried to learn to knit on numerous occasions throughout my life. I would tell people that it was a goal in my life to learn to knit. I read library books, bought different types of books, studied each book, drew diagrams, made notes and asked people to show me but every time I became incredibly frustrated and gave up for a while. I felt bad about myself because I knew others could do it. I started to think there was something wrong with me. But luckily, your lovely manner, clean technique and detailed thoroughness came across so well to me. None of the other RUclips videos that I have watched (and believe me I've watched a ton) helped me learn to knit. But I am thrilled to say, that thanks to you, those days are gone - I am a knitter! I am so proud of the numerous projects I have completed with your assistance. I've even knitted things upon request because people love my work so much. So again, thank you for restoring confidence in myself. Oh...and please keep making more knitting videos. The only patterns I want to do are those where I can work with you. You Rock!
This is the sweetest comment I've ever received. You have no idea how much I needed to hear this today. Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me this. I really REALLY appreciate it!
I would just like to say that I have found numerous patterns on Ravelry that I'm either incapable of doing or am too scared to try, but then I've come to your channel and your walk throughs make them seem SO much easier. And then I came to THIS tutorial, and I am soooo excited because I've been wanting to do these exact mittens but didn't know how! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the vid! Ignore the harsh comments, you don't deserve them. I just stared knitting about 3 weeks ago and this is the first project I have done (besides square dishcloths). Watching your video was a huge help. Again, Thanks!
Hi my name is daisi and im 11 and already learning how to knit.My madrina bought me yarn yesterday and i thought about knitting fingerless gloves for the winter and i just wanted to say that ur video is helping me knit fingerless gloves so much thanxs for this video ;)
Omg! That was one of the first patterns I put in my Ravelry queue... Yarn and needle in hand, I looked up a provisional cast on video here on RUclips and said FORGET IT... I'm so glad you made this. You explain it so much easier. Alright, I am going to try this!!! And thank you.... Love all your videos!
Wow!! what a cute and easy mitt. I have been looking for a basic easy mitt. This is the first one I 've seen top down. I LOVE IT. Sat down tonight and finished the first one..I am so excited because something finally came out right without fighting it. I love the way you talk in the video because it sounds just like me when I'm knitting (ask hubby) thanks a bunch!!
You have the most soothing voice ever. I never get pissed off at my knitting because of your calm tone. Thanks for being awesome and sharing your talent with all of us :)
I've tried to learn to knit so many times! its very difficult! I more so understand crocheting, but this was absolutely wonderful! thank you for starting from the very beginning so that I can follow all the way through! please continue to do all your Patterns this way! extra appreciate the hard work your putting into all these videos!
I totally agree with Sarah! A lot of tutorials are either too fast or even too slow, for me anyway. But yours is just the right pace....AND you actually hold the needles and yarn the same way I do! :) lol I tried to learn where the yarn is in the left hand but it's awkward for some reason. Anyway, I agree....keep doing all of your tutorials like this one!
I JUST attempted to make these camp out mitts..I wish I would have seen this tutorial earlier..it was incredibly frustrating trying to figure out. I totally appreciate you making this video! YOU ROCK!!!
This pattern is so cool and actually pretty easy to knit if you follow the pattern from ravelry. On my first try, I followed this video and got confused so many times as it doesn't follow the written pattern. I was pausing and rewinding and listening to the video while looking at the written pattern and it is definitely not the same. On my second try, I just followed the written pattern and finished in no time. However, the video is really helpful to learn the provisional cast on and three needle bind off so thank you for that! :)
Thank you for the info. The designer must have updated the pattern because I went exactly by the pattern when I made this. How confusing would that be if I just went rogue but then told you to follow along with the pattern? 🥴
I am pleased to have found your channel and thank you so much. It is a joy to know that I will be able to work on this pattern. I have been looking for fingerless mits pattern and found this on raverly and learned you had made a you tube video. I was a crocheter first and recently within the past 6 months has learned to knit, I use the continental style because its easier for me to understand since I was primarily a crocheter. I am going to venture onto this pattern now. Thank you very much.
Hi ! just found this wonderful pattern, and video thank you sooooo much ! i do not like the DPN either.. but i do not like the magic loop so much either.. so i bought 9" needles.. they are awesome ! and they do not stretch the stitches.. they are the perfect size, i also used smaller needles as i am making these for my grand daughter.. once again.. thank you soooo much for helping soooo many people out and giving them the enjoyment of knitting
Can someone explain what happened at 10:40? She CO the additional sts and began knitting across the first half then came back the CO sts were moved to a different position? Did she unknit that first side and CO in a different way? Sorry but I'm trying to alter this for a left handed person that change really confused me.
Wow. You are absolutely wonderful. I learned how to cast on, and knit. I never learned how to bind off or read a pattern, and FINALLY someone has shown me how and I actually got it. Definitely subscribing, you're awesome! :)
I'm quite proud of myself. I managed to modify the pattern so that I could knit the whole thing on my size 10 circular needle, using a size 8 straight needle to bind the provisional cast on.
I love your videos so much! You are such a great help!!! I found this beautiful drop stitch cowl, and I am having a hard time getting my dropped stitches to look like hers! Do you think you could post a video making it?!
Very easy to follow. Thanks for going slow with the provisional cast-on. Can you tell me the manufacturer of the yarn that is pictured on the main screen? I love the different colors/striping. It looks like a Noro yarn, but I'm not certain. Thanks.
Hello, thank you so much for this tutorial. I am trying to knit this mitten but I really don't understand what you did in 10:45, because you had the blue needles (everything fine for me until then) and suddenly had again blue and yellow and the labour is in other position, please could you clarify this step. Thanks!!!
Hey, for some reason the video is not working! ughhh so I might have to wait till tomorrow to answer you back. Are you following along with the written pattern? Maybe that'll answer your question??
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I love Ravelry. I'm on the site just about every day downloading patterns and looking for patterns to use for my yarn stash. I think I'm going to pick up some Noro Kureyon for this pattern it's too pretty and perfect.
New knitter here! 1 month knitting to be exact so this might me a silly questions but is it necessary to do the provisional cast on with these fingerless gloves or was it just to show us how to do it? If so when would you need to actually do it?
I am confused on the first round on the circular needles. The pattern calls for casting on nine before knitting the round. You knit half the round then added the 9 stitches, then moved them. This is where I get very confused on when to add the stitches and if those are the first part of the round or the ending part?
Thanks so much for this video, this will be my first actual pattern besides doing a scarf so yay! Wondering if you could clarify what you mean at the 10:50 mark when you said you moved the add'l 9 nine stitches to the other side? I want to make sure I'm doing it right. I'll be doing magic loop as well :) Thanks again!
Great tutorial! I can not wait to finish. I am having a difficult time with tension between the cord and the needle, can't seem to find a happy medium. Tips?
Hi again, when you pull out the scrap yarn from the provisional cast on, I'm assuming you cut it off, because I don't see it later on. What do you do with the end or nub or working yarn that it was tied to? Does it need to be slipknotted somehow so that the stitches don't unravel?
If you just are using DPN needles can you just start like that do you have a video that way. How many do I cast on each needle. Sorry for all the questions I am new to knitting I have made infinity scarves but I really want to make finless gloves and I have been chicken to start because there's so many patterns and videos I don't know which one is best for me. Thanks for your help in advance.
Hi Christine, I'm at the end of round one, where you said to transfer the cast on stitches back to the left side. Unfortunately, in the process, three of my stitches have somehow tightened themselves to the point where they can't fit back on the needle. Do you know what I did wrong? Also, the 29 stitches that we pick up-- is there any specification for how many we'd pick up if we made it slightly larger? Say, 12 stitches per row? Thanks, Mia
I love your videos!! Can you please tell me where I can find the one about knitting nj the round? You refer to it in this video, and I have checked your blog, ravelery page, and FB and cannot find it. Also, I love that your polish always matches your projects!!
couple of questions... Is the provisional cast on necessary? Also, how many stitches are you casting on, are you using straight needles or circular needles? I'm a little confused. I would love to make this.
provisional is necessary. I'm using straight needles for the mint part(first part) and then I switch to circular needles. if you follow along with me with the written pattern, it will tell you how much to cast on. sorry it's been a long time since I made this so I don't know it on the top of my head.
instead of the provisional cast on? I would do the provisional cast on. If you don't have a random piece of yarn, I would cut a strand of yarn from your 1 ball.
You don't say what size needle you are using and yarn also how many do you cast on? Is there an actually pattern for this glove I could find somewhere. Thanks
Of course there is always a written pattern for the videos I make, and I put all the information you need in the description bar under the video. Just click on show more.
Ok i will look at it again thanks for the help. I really like the gloves I hope I can make them. I am so tired of all the different patterns with DPN needles I like knitting in the round. I just gotta learn this magic loop technique
***** You're welcome (: Do you ever knit things for other people, for money? I had a very basic knit winter hat that I lost years ago, and I've never been able to find another one like it. It was dark olive green, real wool yarn, and 100% stockinette stitch (so the brim naturally curled up some). I loved that hat and ever since I lost it, I've been stuck wearing machine-knitted acrylic yarn hats from the local store which I don't like at all.
i love this pattern and somehow the first one came out ok considering some of the holes in instruction. What size needles/supplies are you using. How many stitches did you cast on. what happens between rows 6 - 9. do i decrease as before or just knit in the round until row 9?
Hey there I just picked up knitting when I found you're awesome video's, thanks for the very helpful step by step tutorials!!! I just have a question about these Fingerless mitts. So I finished knitting the rounds, but I'm left with 23 stitches total and I should have 30 right? With the magic loop I did each round the same to each side. Should I only have done one round per side?
Hello iknit Me hui from indonesia Am wanna ask becoz am little confuse How does u make the CO9 in the other side? U don't tell it in this video Ano matter how many time i flip or test it I can't make the CO9 in other side.. Please help.. Thanks
So.... I have some questions..... 1. Will it be fine if I use circular needle that are slightly shorter (I also hate dpns) 2. Do I have to pick up 29 stitches from the same side?
Thank you so much for your tutorials, you are a wonderful teacher! I'm making these for my 6 yr old daughter and feel like 54 rows for the cuff (the 1st part that goes around the fingers) might be too loose, if I do 48 rows will the rest of the pattern work out? Thanks! I would never have attempted this pattern without your very clear instruction:)
Love your videos! Unfortunately I'm stuck at 8.5mins. The blue needle sorta comes out of nowhere...am I only putting half of the 29 sts on one needle and then the other half on another needle? I tried looking at the pattern but it is for dpns and doesn't really clarify.
Hey again, Also, I noticed you changed colors at round 9, or before that. Is there any chance you could show us how you did that? Also, did you use a stitch marker during this process with the circular needles? Thanks
Mia Shoquist go to this video at 3:38 and it shows you how to change colors 😊 ruclips.net/video/IACWSLmzlJ8/видео.html No I didn't use a stitch marker, but you totally can if you want to
Hi again. I'm a little confused about how to change colors. The video with the candy corn bag that you sent me doesn't seem to be quite the same thing. What do I do once I cut the loop? What am I tying the new color into? D:
Hey Christine, Thanks so much for your helpful videos. I have a question: When you picked up the stitches, why did you pick up 29? I understand you wanted to split the stitches in half on two needles, but in your magic loop video, you pushed all the stitches onto one stick, and then split them after. Am I missing something here, or is that what I should do? Best, Mia
Hi there, I've been working this pattern and am stuck. Can you help me? I just finished the 3-needle bind off. The next step is to pick up 29 stitches. The pattern says to use dpns, which is what I bought. The first 10 minutes of the video shows the pattern being knit using dpns. But when you pick up 29 stitches, you are using circular needles. I tried to pick up 29 stitches using my dpns, but I can't get them all to fit on the needle without risking warping or tearing everything I've knit. Can you show how to pick up the 29 stitches using dpns, please? Thanks!
Hello! You can't put them all on the 1 DPN. I would put them on 3 or 4 DPNs. Then you use your "free" DPN(that doesn't have any stitches on it) for your right needle and then you knit! I hope that helps 😊
+iKNITS Thanks for your reply! I also sent an email via your website, which you can please disregard now. I think I understand your answer. I will play around with it. Question: Does it matter if I pick up and knit one stitch at a time, or should I pick up 29 stitches for and then knit them? Thanks again!
+Dabird I got it I was like, oh same person! Ha! It would probably be easier for you to just pick them all up and then knit them but either way will work just fine 😊
HELP! Okay, I have made these BUT it seems to me like this is a pattern for a left or a right hand. How do you flip the pattern to make the area where the decreases after the thumb hole are either both on the top or both on the bottom of a pair of gloves? I really hope that makes sense to someone :).
When you do the s2kp (slip two together, knit one, pass two slipped stitches over), in the video, you didn't pass over (except in round 9), so it looks like you actually did a knit 2 together. According to the pattern, you are reducing each round (round 3, 5, 7, and 9) by two, but if you did a proper s2kp and k2tog, you would reduce each line by 3. Could you please clarify?
The only time you're supposed to do s2kp is on round 9, and you only do it once. I show you how to do that correctly in the video. The other rows are only k2tog. k2tog decreases 1 stitch. s2kp decreases 2 stitches. So round 8 you had 32 sts. and at the end of round 9, you will only have 30 sts. You do not do k2tog in round 9. Does that help?
Hi! Thank u SO much for this tutorial, it was really helpful! :) But in round 5 you say that i'm supposed to knit "the same" in round 7 and 8? Do I knit 3 or 5? :)
I don't understand the thumb part you didn't finish knitting in the round and I don't understand what you meant by transferring them to the other needle
I thought I showed you how to do that...but you just cut the color yarn you were using, enough where you can weave the ends later...then put your right needle through your next stitch as if you're about to knit, get your new yarn, and make a U around your right needle, then knit!
You can so teach an old dog new tricks. I've been knitting for (oh my god!) 36 years and I've never seen this method of casting on. It's genius and could have helped me on many past projects. The whole tutorial was so good. Thank you for sharing this :)

Have you ever knit a sweater?? That would be a great project for the winter! I would love to see that tutorial

The sound of tight stitches is the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard for me.
I'd crocheted one before but I definitely want to try this one too, I'd go find a set of double pointed and circular needles first
Can someone explain what happened at 10:40? She CO the additional sts and began knitting across the first half then came back the CO sts were moved to a different position? Did she unknit that first side and CO in a different way? Sorry but I'm trying to alter this for a left handed person that change really confused me.

Hey, for some reason the video is not working! ughhh so I might have to wait till tomorrow to answer you back. Are you following along with the written pattern? Maybe that'll answer your question??
can you use the simple cast on method?
Of course you can, I can’t see the reason to try to learn the provisional, when the English one is just as good, as well as being quicker.
The stitches look really tight!
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I love Ravelry. I'm on the site just about every day downloading patterns and looking for patterns to use for my yarn stash. I think I'm going to pick up some Noro Kureyon for this pattern it's too pretty and perfect.
New knitter here! 1 month knitting to be exact so this might me a silly questions but is it necessary to do the provisional cast on with these fingerless gloves or was it just to show us how to do it? If so when would you need to actually do it?
I will try this cast on method. Nail polish color matches your yarn! 😆
What is the purpose of this provisional cast on for? I’ve never seen this done for mittens. Pretty cool!
HI. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Is there a link for the written pattern?
anna michele you're welcome! Yes of course, there's a link to the written pattern in the description bar underneath the video.
I do not see the link. Are you able to attach it to a reply?
Just found it! It was a drop down box. Thanks again.
I've never seen anyone cast on like that before
Me too
Buuut there are different styles to cast on
I am confused on the first round on the circular needles. The pattern calls for casting on nine before knitting the round. You knit half the round then added the 9 stitches, then moved them. This is where I get very confused on when to add the stitches and if those are the first part of the round or the ending part?
It's because I'm doing the magic loop method. So it really doesn't matter it will be the same since you're knitting in the round.
Thanks so much for this video, this will be my first actual pattern besides doing a scarf so yay! Wondering if you could clarify what you mean at the 10:50 mark when you said you moved the add'l 9 nine stitches to the other side? I want to make sure I'm doing it right. I'll be doing magic loop as well :) Thanks again!
Great tutorial! I can not wait to finish. I am having a difficult time with tension between the cord and the needle, can't seem to find a happy medium. Tips?
Do you have to use the provisional cast-on method or can another method be substituted? Sorry, I'm a serious beginner.
Hi again, when you pull out the scrap yarn from the provisional cast on, I'm assuming you cut it off, because I don't see it later on. What do you do with the end or nub or working yarn that it was tied to? Does it need to be slipknotted somehow so that the stitches don't unravel?

You need to do the cast on like this so you have those live stitches to knit them later. Just give it a shot, you can do it! :)
Thanks i will try and let u know how I do.
okay good luck!
Also..... 10:51 how did you move those 9 stitches??
(Bet my kidneys she won’t respond)
I don’t sub to any channels that don’t reply back to their comments!
Can you pick up stitches on the thumb to increase the length of the thumb?
Chlexie L. Definitely can!
Hi Christine,
I'm at the end of round one, where you said to transfer the cast on stitches back to the left side. Unfortunately, in the process, three of my stitches have somehow tightened themselves to the point where they can't fit back on the needle. Do you know what I did wrong? Also, the 29 stitches that we pick up-- is there any specification for how many we'd pick up if we made it slightly larger? Say, 12 stitches per row?

What the difference between ssk and k2tog? it seems like their both doing the same thing
I love your videos!! Can you please tell me where I can find the one about knitting nj the round? You refer to it in this video, and I have checked your blog, ravelery page, and FB and cannot find it. Also, I love that your polish always matches your projects!!
Do you still do the same decrease with the thumb for both gloves? Or do you do it different depending on whether it's right or left?
couple of questions... Is the provisional cast on necessary? Also, how many stitches are you casting on, are you using straight needles or circular needles? I'm a little confused. I would love to make this.
provisional is necessary. I'm using straight needles for the mint part(first part) and then I switch to circular needles. if you follow along with me with the written pattern, it will tell you how much to cast on. sorry it's been a long time since I made this so I don't know it on the top of my head.
Thank you very much. I can't wait to make this.
I am going to make every project you have you are fabulous.
can you also use the long tail cast on because I just have one yarn ball
instead of the provisional cast on? I would do the provisional cast on. If you don't have a random piece of yarn, I would cut a strand of yarn from your 1 ball.
can you do this with normal knitting needles and use a yarn needle or do you have to have the circular needles?
You can do it with either circular or DPNs
okay thanks!
just found you. love this. you make it look sooo easy. thank you thank you.
You don't say what size needle you are using and yarn also how many do you cast on? Is there an actually pattern for this glove I could find somewhere. Thanks
Of course there is always a written pattern for the videos I make, and I put all the information you need in the description bar under the video. Just click on show more.
Ok i will look at it again thanks for the help. I really like the gloves I hope I can make them. I am so tired of all the different patterns with DPN needles I like knitting in the round. I just gotta learn this magic loop technique
Your hands and nails are awesome.
You just made my day! Thank you!!!

You're welcome (: Do you ever knit things for other people, for money? I had a very basic knit winter hat that I lost years ago, and I've never been able to find another one like it. It was dark olive green, real wool yarn, and 100% stockinette stitch (so the brim naturally curled up some). I loved that hat and ever since I lost it, I've been stuck wearing machine-knitted acrylic yarn hats from the local store which I don't like at all.
i love this pattern and somehow the first one came out ok considering some of the holes in instruction. What size needles/supplies are you using. How many stitches did you cast on. what happens between rows 6 - 9. do i decrease as before or just knit in the round until row 9?
kimberly sturgis hey Kimberly I just followed the written pattern. Are you doing that? It should answer all your questions
dholak
Hey there I just picked up knitting when I found you're awesome video's, thanks for the very helpful step by step tutorials!!!
I just have a question about these Fingerless mitts. So I finished knitting the rounds, but I'm left with 23 stitches total and I should have 30 right?
With the magic loop I did each round the same to each side. Should I only have done one round per side?
where did you find that Noro Kureyon yarn color on Ravelry? I can find other yarn colors but can't find that rainbow color of yarn.
If you click on the pattern, then go to yarn ideas, it should be the first one that pops up.
Hello iknit
Me hui from indonesia
Am wanna ask becoz am little confuse
How does u make the CO9 in the other side?
U don't tell it in this video
Ano matter how many time i flip or test it
I can't make the CO9 in other side..
Please help..
Thanks
You just have to watch her carefully you make a circle with your thumb and first finger and wrap it around the needle (:
What size of needles are you using? I so want to make this but I am a beginner at knitting.
I'm pretty sure it was Size US 7. Make sure you download the written pattern that gives you all that information :) then you can't go wrong :)
So.... I have some questions.....
1. Will it be fine if I use circular needle that are slightly shorter (I also hate dpns)
2. Do I have to pick up 29 stitches from the same side?
Can you do the lined knitted cc hat please, you did a beautiful job on on one of them but I like the others too , cc hats
6:35 found it hilarious how you said "like you're knitting". I get what you meant but I just couldn't stop laughing xD
Thank you so much for your tutorials, you are a wonderful teacher! I'm making these for my 6 yr old daughter and feel like 54 rows for the cuff (the 1st part that goes around the fingers) might be too loose, if I do 48 rows will the rest of the pattern work out? Thanks! I would never have attempted this pattern without your very clear instruction:)
Thank you so much! I think that could work out! Let me know how it goes :)
Hey I was thinking of also knitting this for a child. Was wondering if ur modification worked for the child u knitted for 😊
The modifications worked great, they fit my 7yr old. This is a great pattern and tutorial!
Thank you 😎😀
About 36 stitches is fine for a 6 year old, using the same thickness yarn as in the video, but it depends what thickness of yarn you use.
Do you have a pattern for these gloves? 🧤
What a wonderful video! You'd make a great teacher!
Thank you! So sweet, just made my day :)
Thanks for the video, its really useful. Just one question... what length circular needles are you using?
Love your videos! Unfortunately I'm stuck at 8.5mins. The blue needle sorta comes out of nowhere...am I only putting half of the 29 sts on one needle and then the other half on another needle? I tried looking at the pattern but it is for dpns and doesn't really clarify.
Thank you! Yes you're correct. But if you're wanting to change the color, this is where you do it.
Got it! finished mitten num. 1 and it looks awwwwsome ! ;)
yay!!!
When you say to knit for 9.5" does that mean from the strt of the floes or from the top of the thumb hole?
From the top. :)
Question if I did 70 sts for the beginning knit stitch part is it still 29 stitches I pick up???
is there a way to do this without round needles?????
Hey again,
Also, I noticed you changed colors at round 9, or before that. Is there any chance you could show us how you did that? Also, did you use a stitch marker during this process with the circular needles? Thanks
Mia Shoquist go to this video at 3:38 and it shows you how to change colors 😊 ruclips.net/video/IACWSLmzlJ8/видео.html
No I didn't use a stitch marker, but you totally can if you want to
Thanks so much! Thanks for putting up with all my questions, haha. You're a fabulous teacher and you're so sweet too! :)
Hi again. I'm a little confused about how to change colors. The video with the candy corn bag that you sent me doesn't seem to be quite the same thing. What do I do once I cut the loop? What am I tying the new color into? D:
Hey Christine,
Thanks so much for your helpful videos. I have a question: When you picked up the stitches, why did you pick up 29? I understand you wanted to split the stitches in half on two needles, but in your magic loop video, you pushed all the stitches onto one stick, and then split them after. Am I missing something here, or is that what I should do?
Best,
Mia
Mia Shoquist hey so I just followed the written pattern, that's why I picked up 29.
@@iKNITS but in the written pattern she picks up 31...
Hello
Am stuck here
How do you move the cast on 9 to the back?
No matter how many time i tried
I cant seem to move it..
Please hurry replay..
Thank
You knit half and then move them over (: it should work put if you do it that way!
Im trying to learn to knit and your videos are exactly what i was looking for. Thank you.
Awesome mitts, thanks so much! I was wondering how long the cord is on your circular needles?
You're welcome! ooo I don't remember what size they were. Maybe 29"?
Hi there, I've been working this pattern and am stuck. Can you help me? I just finished the 3-needle bind off. The next step is to pick up 29 stitches. The pattern says to use dpns, which is what I bought. The first 10 minutes of the video shows the pattern being knit using dpns. But when you pick up 29 stitches, you are using circular needles. I tried to pick up 29 stitches using my dpns, but I can't get them all to fit on the needle without risking warping or tearing everything I've knit. Can you show how to pick up the 29 stitches using dpns, please? Thanks!
Hello! You can't put them all on the 1 DPN. I would put them on 3 or 4 DPNs. Then you use your "free" DPN(that doesn't have any stitches on it) for your right needle and then you knit! I hope that helps 😊
+iKNITS Thanks for your reply! I also sent an email via your website, which you can please disregard now.
I think I understand your answer. I will play around with it. Question: Does it matter if I pick up and knit one stitch at a time, or should I pick up 29 stitches for and then knit them?
Thanks again!
+Dabird I got it I was like, oh same person! Ha! It would probably be easier for you to just pick them all up and then knit them but either way will work just fine 😊
+iKNITS Ok, thanks. I will try it out. I may have more questions.... :-)
I may have missed it but what kind of yarn were you using? Also what size needles?
I think it's red heart, and I used the size needles the pattern recommends, it has it on the written pattern
What is wrong with a normal cast on, I really can’t understand why everything is now provisional?
HELP! Okay, I have made these BUT it seems to me like this is a pattern for a left or a right hand. How do you flip the pattern to make the area where the decreases after the thumb hole are either both on the top or both on the bottom of a pair of gloves? I really hope that makes sense to someone :).
Hey! It's the exact same! So that's easy!
cool pattern ill have to try making these.
Do I have to use the circular needles? Can I just use double pointed?
Yes you can use just DPNs
How would you knit the mitts for the right hand? Thanks:)'
Hey! It's the same thing, you just flip it around and wear it 😊
thanks!!
Is there a way to do this without the magic loop method? It's very confusing for me sorry
Yes! You can use DPNs(double pointed needles)
What color yarn did you use for the gloves in the click bait
Great video, so easy to follow. I can't believe I did it!!
Can you put the size of the needles??
i don't know what just happened, but that mitten looks awesome
i make these with nice rib on cuff and top w 2 long needles this was bit confusing
how many casting things did you do or need to do?
How many stitches did I cast on? Make sure you follow along with the written pattern. It'll make your life SO much easier!
okay?
I would really love to crotchet these gloves can u help me
When you do the s2kp (slip two together, knit one, pass two slipped stitches over), in the video, you didn't pass over (except in round 9), so it looks like you actually did a knit 2 together. According to the pattern, you are reducing each round (round 3, 5, 7, and 9) by two, but if you did a proper s2kp and k2tog, you would reduce each line by 3. Could you please clarify?
The only time you're supposed to do s2kp is on round 9, and you only do it once. I show you how to do that correctly in the video. The other rows are only k2tog. k2tog decreases 1 stitch. s2kp decreases 2 stitches. So round 8 you had 32 sts. and at the end of round 9, you will only have 30 sts. You do not do k2tog in round 9. Does that help?
***** Thanks! That does clarify it for me. I think I got confused with the ssk (slip, slip, knit together throught the back loop) stich.
HELP! I'm so confused on how to pick up and knit the 29 stitches without circular needles! Any advice?
Lilly Gallinoto you can try DPNs (double pointed needles)
help! whenever I try the 2nd step, the number of loops on my needle kept increasing can anyone help me find what wrong?
Hi! Thank u SO much for this tutorial, it was really helpful! :) But in round 5 you say that i'm supposed to knit "the same" in round 7 and 8? Do I knit 3 or 5? :)
hi ! can you telle me what wool you use ?
I wish i understood knitting better. How did u change your yarn? Its all to confusing to me.
I don't understand the thumb part you didn't finish knitting in the round and I don't understand what you meant by transferring them to the other needle
If I want to do another color, I mean 2 colors when you said:" cut this yarn if you want..." how can I do that?
I thought I showed you how to do that...but you just cut the color yarn you were using, enough where you can weave the ends later...then put your right needle through your next stitch as if you're about to knit, get your new yarn, and make a U around your right needle, then knit!
I don't know T.T just cut that yarn? and do like you did?
how can i hold the yarn ?
can you show me more detail? i need to do it fast :D
thank you and sorry for bothering you
go to this video and start at 24:00
Can you do a normal binding off at 6:27
How did you change color
