Sure thing! It really is easier than I thought it would be and I like how it divides the pattern, especially when you get the colorwork part of the pattern.
When casting on, you mentioned the first cast with two loops was one stitch, but when you were dividing the stitches between the four needles, you said it was two. May I please get some clarification?
may be a dumb question, but can you knit these mittens using circular needles instead of the four needles? I've just started this as a new hobby so I don't know a single thing! XD
When adding the color on the cuff, do you hide it (like you did on the second video)? Or do you cut the yarn and add the next color? Just curious how to do the color change
Hello! When I try to knit selbu mittens with over 50 stitches in total, they turn out super wide, almost the width of a thigh. Even though I am using correct size needles and yarn. What do you think could be the problem and how can I fix it?
I only have four double pointed needles, so I’m adapting a little. I’m trying to mentally calculate where you would be at the beginning of the second round. Are you starting the second round with purls or knits? Ie should the second row be purling the first row’s knits or should the knit stitches all stack and the purl stitches all stack? (Or should I give up and buy a set of five needles? 😅)
The pattern is always kkpp no matter if they are on three or four needles. Because you're dividing 56 by three, you will have an uneven number on your needles, so it's more important to just keep track of the pattern. I do think you will want a five-needle set because the mitten will get wider and flatter. That might be a lot to distribute over three needles.
These mittens are beautiful. Thank you for the tutorial, as well as for inspiring me.
You are so welcome!
Happy I found your Utube channel. Look forward to watching your other videos.
Fantastic tutorial, thank you. I checked. The yarn you use is 3ply. Trying to find similar at a charity shop
I really appreciate this video as I work my way through learning to knit. Thanks so much!
Wow it's magnificent, I am going to try my best to do it
Thank you for all your work!! Where can i find the pattern that you are knitting?
Thank you for the visual. I didn’t know how to use 4 needles. 👍

How do you add the other colour?

I also want to know that 😢
Yes you would use the magic loop technique

16:00 uhmm your purling is very weird... 😮 have to watch it again.
As a crocheter for a decade casting on and the first row is very stressful for me 😭

The link to the book and page number is the description.
Need it slower on the casting, through ‘the loop’ part:( thank you!!!!!
Mittens?? In this heat?! I didn’t know that you lived on another planet 😂😂
Ha! Well, it takes several hours to make each mitten, so if people want to make several for gifts, it's a good time to get started.
@@missmustardseed Very good point… but in this heat! 😂
@@awatercolourist Oh, I know! It is pretty toasty outside here in PA today! 😅
