It never occurred to me that how wide the cast-on stitches are when spread out, is how wide the finished product is gonna be! I knew that it would "puff out" in width and get wider than the original cast-on as I knitted, but I never knew you could see HOW much it was gonna expand by just spreading the cast-on stitches! Neat! :)
I thought I’d watched all of your videos but obviously I missed this one! This is, as usual, just brilliant! This will be helpful in SO MANY scenarios. As always, thank you for sharing your extensive knitting experience and knowledge ❤❤
Thank you so much. I’m trying to make a blanket and using different size yarn than is called for in the pattern. This was just what I needed - clear and to the point.
Hi Jules. Because the cord of a circular needle is usually thinner than the needle itself, the stitches will stretch more on the cord than they do on the needle. Happy knitting :-)
HOW WOULD I ACHIEVE THIS PATTERN ON A CIRCULAR LIKE FOR THE CUFF OF A SOCK? IKNOW THE K1 WOULD BE THE SAME BUT WOULD I ALTERNATE WITH P2 K1? SORRY for the caps, I am not good a mechanical visioning stuff. I love love your channel and have a separate file on my computer for all your offerings.
Oh, Barbara, it is so sweet of you to dedicate a folder on your computer to my tutorials. Thank you! As to the stitch pattern, if you want to work it in the round, work [knit 2, purl 1] in one round and then [knit 1, purl 2] in the next round. Here's a tutorial that explains how to convert stitch patterns from working flat to working in the round - www.10rowsaday.com/convert-stitch-patterns Happy knitting :-)
Hi Nasima. It depends on the thickness of yarn and the size of the needles. Make a swatch, block it and count the number of stitches in 10cm / 4". Use this number to calculate how many stitches to cast on for the circumference of the child's head minus 5-10% of negative ease if you want to have a snug fit. Good luck :-)
It depends on the yarn and needles you use. You can either use the trick described in this tutorial, or you can go a more conventional way - make a swatch, count the number of stitches in 1 inch and multiply it by 9. Good luck :-)
It works for any project, but keep in mind that it is just a quick estimate. If you are about to start a close fitting project, it is better to calculate the number of stitches based on the gauge you get in a test swatch. Good luck :-)
Please take care of these horrible posts, I so enjoy your tutorials but can not tolerate these smutty posts. They can be deleted and reported. I am reporting them. They ruin my experience on your channel.❤️
Thank you so much for caring, Thea :-) Whenever I see those comments with links to inappropriate sites, I delete and report them right away. Sometimes those guys are faster than me. Thank you once again for your help.

This is very helpful Maryna! Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
I love your tutorial, simple and to the point. Thank you.
Very useful and straight to the point. Thank you
Tks Maryna, but can you tell me if that stretching works the same for circular needle- like if stretch sts across cord to measure?
Hi Jules. Because the cord of a circular needle is usually thinner than the needle itself, the stitches will stretch more on the cord than they do on the needle. Happy knitting :-)
Explanation very clear thank you

Wonderful great tip
Hi there, would you please let me know how many stitches do I need to make a hat for 6 years old. That would be great help 👍🏼. Thanks

I got a question how many stitches for first row for a square 9 x 7 pattern ?
It depends on the yarn and needles you use. You can either use the trick described in this tutorial, or you can go a more conventional way - make a swatch, count the number of stitches in 1 inch and multiply it by 9. Good luck :-)
@@10rowsaday I use cotton yarn and 10 inch needle some times 8 I just need to know how many first stitches to cast on I am a beginner
thank you❤ will this work for top down cardigan yoke?
