How to Knit - Magic Loop Method
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- Hello, my lovelies! I am back and it's time to learn to knit in the round! Ever wondered how to knit mittens and socks and sweaters and hats in the round?
There are various methods, and this one is my personal favorite. The Magic Loop Method.
You'll need:
1 long circular needle (about 32"-40")
The Needles I Use - amzn.to/2pc5M4N
Yarn
I am using a skein of my Pearlescent Worsted weight yarn in colorway Laguna: www.expressionfiberarts.com/ca...
It's soft and shimmering and a mix of superwash merino wool and silk. It's hand-dyed by our lovely team of dyers and this yarn base really takes the dye so well. It just radiates!

You are so low-key funny and silly, and I love that in a brand owner. You seem so fun to hang out with. Do you ever go to yarn circles or anything? I bet they'd think you're an absolute delight. Thanks for all these great videos. I learned to knit from you. 3-4 beanies, 3 socks, and half a sweater later, and I'm still going. Your sweater pattern/instructions kit is amazing, and I'm so proud of myself for finally doing it!
That's awesome. I'm so glad our tutorials are such a help! 🥰
Your videos got me knitting after 45 years if crocheting! Yahoo! You are also the sweetest lady! Thanks!
That is amazing! Happy knitting! ❤️
Thank you very much, Chandi. I had actually given up on learning the magic loop method after watching many videos. But then I came across your explanation and understood it immediately. You are a great teacher. Thank you Thank you.
Wonderful! I'm so happy our tutorial helped you understand the magic loop method. 💕
I'm 62 and just now beginning knitting. Your magic loop technique has me fascinated! Great video .. Love you already!

Great video! Even if I managed to get past my confusion, my two cats would never leave me alone with those loops bouncing around 😹😹

I watched about 6 videos on how to do the Magic Loop and almost gave up! Until I looked yours up and ....Voila! I finally get it because of your wonderful teaching! Thank you!
I can't believe i got it from only watching once 😄 that shows how excellent you are explaining the method 👌 thank you so much , you are a star! 🤗♥️
You and this video are lovely! The visuals, the colors, the sound, your hands....beautiful and helpful, thank you so much....
Thanks, Susan!
My number ONE desire for videos is yarn dyeing, pretty please! Your methods are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen, so I would love some tips and techniques. I'd also like to see more spinning. That's something I'm interested in, and it's super relaxing, even to watch!
Cool! We hope to do that soon! ❤️
The best magic loop tutorial I have found. Thank you so much! I am going to try and finish this hat now :D
Yay!
This is the easiest magic loop video I've seen. I appreciate the multiple viewpoints, and now I think I'm ready to try this again! Thank you!
Alright! Have fun!
Thank you for this, Chandi! I finally learned the magic loop method from this video. You're a wonderful teacher.
Yay!
so glad you're back have missed your videos
Hi Chandi, I would LOVE a series of knitting and crochet lessons covering all the basic stitches so I can use your channel as a reference guide. I REALLY love the way you teach, and your colours are inspirational. It's the channel I go to to get a boost in my day!
Hey Chandi!!
I am glad to see you are well!! I would love to see more videos on yarn spinning and dyeing! I recently got my own spinning wheel, so I am a newbie! :D and I love see how others have been spinning and what tips and tricks they know :D
thank you for the videos!!
You're AMAZING. I've needed to learn this for some time now; your tutorial has helped SO MUCH. Thank you endlessly! ♡♡♡
You are AMAZING!! ❤️❤️
ExpressionFiberArts Awwwwww! ❤❤❤❤❤
Yay! Welcome back Lady. Please do bring on the videos. You taught me how to knit and now I'm addicted to all things yarn. Would like to see a sweater Tutorial from you guys. PS you look amazing.
She has one now and comes with access to the private video series on each step, and a pattern that has a huge size range!
Hello, love your yarn colours they are beautiful. Crochet is my preferred choice, learning to knit. Thank you!
Belated thank-you for this video! It is as you said; it took a few tries before I figured it out (hampered, in part, because I hold the yarn in my right hand), but this is amazing! Thank you for such a clear demonstration of how to do this!
Glad it helped!
How to knit socks please... love your energy!
Your yarn is beautiful and so are you! I love your creativity and courage to share your talent. I would love to watch you create your yarn and how you dye yarn. My husband says is have several hobbies since I started knitting. The 2nd major hobby is yarn collection, I told him I was told I needed more fiber, yarn is fiber! Thank you again for your videos
Thank you so much for the kind words. I would love to do some more behind the scenes videos. We definitely need to plan those. If you want to see a little bit of the process of dyeing, we have a video for you, if you haven't seen it yet: ruclips.net/video/eT0Krb-6vgA/видео.html ❤️❤️
This helped me SOOO much!!! At first, when I saw magic loop, I was freaked out, and now, I can do Magic Loop without stressing! Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Raglan sleeve sweaters please, I’m following your tutorial on continental knitting as I was taught the English method and just taught myself how to crochet 2 years ago, I love your tutorials you make everything so clear and easy to understand thank you, Carol from Scotland 🏴 xx
You're welcome! I'm glad you're finding our videos helpful!
This was so helpful, thank you so much for this tutorial! I would love to see a tutorial for knitting socks.
Nice! A ton of people are suggestion that type of project, so I hope to do it!
Great knitting technuique thank you for showing us! Just have to to get myself some circular needles now! Woo!
Perfect! 😘🧶
Thank you, Chandi for this great knitting tutorial!!
You are welcome!
Finally get it. I needed someone to start from square one and explain each step which you have done. Thanks! Hate working with DPNs and am already loving this. We will see how I do fair isle style now as this will be a first using this method. ;)
So glad the video helped! 😍
Yay! You're back. 😊. Accessories videos - gloves would be great. Have an awesome day.
I would love to see some dying videos - or an ebook about dying yarn for beginners. Maybe a starter kit on your website with some dye and bare yarn? I'd also love to dye with natural ingredients like coffee and beetroot. Love you!!!!! Heh - I'm waiting for your yarn to arrive at the moment!

Thanks for the new video! Still trying to learn knitting as I'm a crocheter :)
Any new crochet technique videos are always good. Also yarn dyeing ! I'd love to do that at some point but too nervous.
Very helpful, Chandi. Thank you!
I love your tutorials. Your knitting for beginners is how I taught myself to knit. Thank you for making it easy to understand & for your detailed video tutorials.
I'm currently looking for videos on a simple knitted dog coat/sweater (in the round like this video if possible). I'm needing multiple sizes from a small chihuahua puppy size all the way up to Great Dane size.
I would also like to see a knitted version of a simple Santa hat & full sized knitted Christmas stocking videos.
I'm also looking for crochet or knitted things that men would like. I made a tie for my son in law, but other than hats, that's about all I have found so far.
Thank you for asking for suggestions. I'm looking forward to future videos.
Really love your tutorials thanks so much
I have watched 3 videos to learn how to knit 🧶 the magic loop... they were all going to fast and my brain couldn’t get it. That is until I came upon your video!!! 🥳🥳🥳 thank you...I am soooo excited to start and finish a hat project with the new method!! 🎉🥳
Perfect! Happy creating! ❤️
Omg i didn't know you still made videos!!! i love them!
Omg!! I have had so much trouble with this method. Thank you so much! I am now making your baby mittens pattern.
Glad it was helpful! 💕
Yay! I love that you're back! would love to see baby booties or (even though it's almost spring) christmas stockings!
Yes, excellent suggestion!
I will watch this like 20 times, maybe then I get it
I know others have already asked but I'm going to throw my vote in too. socks please!!!! :)
I bought so much of your sock yarn because I'm dying to make socks - mine keep disappearing from dogs, cats, and dryer goblins - but I'm clueless where to even start. please please please do socks!
Ive been looking for sock tutorials as well. Was just wondering if you ever found a sock tutorial and could pass it along? TIA!
Easy fast unique hats for gifting with chunky yarn. So happy to see you again and loved this video!!! Your a great teacher thank you for teaching us this method! Also if you can review crochet and knitting needles so many out there. Wishing you a happy knitting day!
Awesome! Thanks for the suggestions! Happy Knitting! ❤️
I Love your attitude...makes it fun to learn
Thank you!
Your couch is divine!
Thanks, Jaime!
Great and clear instructions, thank you! 😊
You are so welcome!
Wow...this is sooo cool!!
Thank you!! 😊
Love your yarn
I love your videos! Thank you so much
Thank you!
Another great tutorial. Thank you Chandi! I am a new knitter and have watched all your instructional videos....sometimes over and over, but I'm getting it! I now have the knitting bug and am eager to try this loop method. If you need ideas for future videos, I'm interested in learning what to do when your piece is finished - blocking. Such as ... what needs to be blocked, what doesn't, are there different methods, etc.
Thanks for the suggestion. I do have a video on how to block your finished projects if you want to check it out!
Thanks - this was really helpful, clear, slow enough, repetitive enough - and I'm not quite there yet so I'm going to practice now!
I'm so glad it was helpful for you!
I would like to see a video series of start to finish, spinning, to dyeing, to using it in a actual crochet project.
HI Chandi, I would love to see some knit or crocheted tops, lightweight sweaters, or dresses. Thank you and it's good to see you back!
Thanks for the suggestion!
I have only been working with circular needles for years but not having to work in the round, I am new to this technique, thanks.
I hope it works out well for you! ❤️
Thank you! Well done as always.
Thank you! 💕
Thank you so much for this!! Absolute lifesaver!!!!!
Glad it helped!
yay, so glad to see you doing videos again this video really helps. can you do a video on how to knit baby hats :)
Thank you, really good podcast.
Once you said you were doing new Crochet and knitting patterns, I totally got it. I knit and crochet as well and it can take Forever! I'm glad you're back. Can you upload a video where you knit, or crochet hobo gloves with flaps? The casting on couch did one in a Christmas pudding pattern, but I knitted it and it still came out with some holes/gaps. Like, no dropped stitches, it would just be a finished row, but then it would have a gap in it.
First of all thank u very much for a wonderful method to explain and I love your videos cause it's help me a lot and finally u look like Kelly Ripa very much ; I'm from Egypt by the way
Thanks you for the tutorial to be a creative kniter like you I appreciate the skills you teach us
My pleasure 💕
hey! I just wanted to say that your channel is awesome and it's what got me knitting! it would be really awesome if you could do a video on substitutes for cable needles and how to knit with them. Thank you!
I would love to see mittens!! Thanks so much for your great vids!
Thanks for the suggestion Carrie! I appreciate it! 😍
I love your videos 😊
Good morning, I enjoy all Ur videos, like the way you explain everything. I would love to see you do more shawls or cowls. 🤗🤗
Thanks for the suggestion! ❤️
This is brilliant. I hate hate hate working on DPs and this will solve that problem.
😊
I would love a “day in the life” type of video where we can see how your yarn comes to life start to finish.
I keep meaning to do more of that type of video. We definitely need to plan on it!
HI so glad your back, you make learning not so boring. I'm wondering if you could make a video on how to knit a sleeveless tank top like they use to wear in da 70's? lol I want to make one for my grand daughters and have not been able to know how many to cast on.. please help..
OMG, I love your tutorial and your energy. I'm looking forward to your other videos. TFS. Will you do a video on weaving on cricket loom.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed this, and thanks for the suggestion.
Socks using magic loop would be a very helpful tutorial ☺☺
Thank you! So much easier than double pointed needles !
I think so! You are welcome!
Still a great video. Thank you. I can now start knitting the Gofiedio pattern.
Wonderful! I'm glad you found it helpful!
Nice video, thank you for sharing.
Ooh! I wanna see you color some yarn! That would be really cool.
We plan on doing that! Yay!
I would like to see a video on how to color coordinate yarn. I love how you can bring three colors together and they look beautiful. I don't know how to do that. I would love to learn how. You put the most beautiful colors together and they turn out just absolutely amazing. I'm going to knit up the beautiful Harmony pattern that you just released. However, the colors that you chose were just mind-boggling for me. I would have never thought to coordinate those three colors together. Thank you! And, BTW, you do have the most luscious Yarns available. The pearlescent 50/50 silk and Moreno wool is so soft and buttery...just like you said. I have completed my Guage swatch. Just waiting on my other yarn order to arrive. I plan on knitting up the Novella Shawl pattern. After that it's the Harmony shrug!
Thanks, Kathy! I love your suggestion! We are thinking of ideas to make that video come to life! ❤️😍❤️😍
@@ExpressionFiberArts yeahhhhhhhhhh! ! ALSO, here's an idea, maybe beside each of your beautiful Yarns you could color coordinate to others. For instance, say I like the midnight purple. Maybe somewhere on the bottom you can have a coordinating colors that would go great with this color. Just a suggestion.
Is it ok to wash yarn, like in the washing machine or hand wash once the item is already made
Nice to see new videos from you again! I was missing your educational and lively how-to's. As far as future videos; how about some behind the scenes stuff.... maybe a look at your production area(s) where you die all that lovely yarn. Maybe a look at some of the people who help you with your business. You mentioned your husband, is he the photographer/camera guy / web design? Do you shoot the videos in a studio or is that your home? How do you come up with the color combos you do?
You read my mind. I am hoping to do some more of those types of videos in the future!
Hi !! Can you make a video about knitting socks or crochet socks many blessings
Thanks for the video
Yarn dyeing would be interesting 😊
How about how to make socks using the magic loop method? Or, how to knit two socks at a time! Would love to learn!!! I already know how to make socks using double pointed needles and love it!
Great idea! Thanks! 💙
I've been knitting for decades and have started to be a bit more adventurous with what I make and keep seeing 'magic loop' on patterns and wondered what on earth it is! And although your demonstration is clear enough , it all just looks waaaaay too complicated and long for me, so I guess I'll just stick to circular needles or DPN's, or whatever it's meant to be replacing!! But thank you anyway!
No worries! Thanks for checking out the video. :)
I'd love to see baby items! Crochet or knit would be so awesome! ❤
I just started learning how to knit. I have been crocheting for most of my life. Your videos are very easy to understand and has gotten started. Though I do suggest, please don't take offense, to make a video using the knit stitch to make a wash cloth or something. Same with the purl stitch. This way we can have a finish product to see where our mistakes are and what we need to work on. I have only tried the knit stitch so far and I keep taking it apart and then doing it again just to practice. Though now that I have practiced it a little I would like to make something small to see where my project needs work. I find in some places it can be loose and in others it is too tight. However, I find if I hold my thread with my left hand that it stays consistent. I would like to learn how to hold the thread with my right hand for when I start to work with two colors at a time and I don't end up with some loose and some tight. Otherwise I absolutely love your videos they have been very helpful. Now that I am disabled this gives me something to do with my time since I can't move around a lot.
That is a wonderful suggestion! I really like your idea and I am going to work on doing just that! ❤️
Hi! I am a knitter and enjoy knitting. You are my go to channel for knitting. I am thinking about knitting socks for the first time. I already know how to use the magic loop method(after watching this video) and would like to learn how to knit with double Pointed needles. I would also like a pattern for socks. I hope you are able to accomplish these videos.
We have a free sock pattern available for you at expressionfiberarts.com
Beautifull yarn, did you spin it yourself? I like video' s about spinning.
Oooooo also, a sock tutorial???? 🎉❤
We're working on that! 💕
I LOVE the fact that you don't have to purl with this. It's one shot. I purled. it looked ridiculous. I'm still practicing. YES it's madness but I know eventually it'll work...in time
Yes! 😍
I love your tutorial you make it look so easy! I think I’m able to do it now I understand your way looks so much easier! Thank you thank you
Yes! 😍
@@ExpressionFiberArts I agree I watched five and hers was the one I finally got it no problem next time coming straight here bc was on fear free sock for beginner saws not so straight forward more confused and which and what needle she made it easy
Would you be able to do a couple videos demoing a few different stitches? Like the moss knit, or any others that are common in patterns.
You explain so nice
Thank you! ❤️
Hello Chandi,
Thank you So Much for teaching me this method! I have recently moved to Canada. BRRR!!! My puppy dog needs me to knit her a fuzzy warm sweater. Would you Pleeze show me how? Lots of love and appreciation.
boop-boop. ;)
Socks! Socks! Please, socks! I have no idea where or how to start!
I'd love to follow a tutorial of yours on fingerless mittens :)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your lessons on knitting sweetie!! I never learned and am really working on it and am following all of your techniques because you make it look so easy. !!! Thank you SOOOOO much!! 😘🥰🤗👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼#YARNMakesMeHappy #GPWarrior💚🥄🧶
