KNITTING 101: k2tog using DPN (double pointed needles)

KNITTING 101: Wet blocking & squeezing water out of wool It's rare that I "wet block" my beanies because I like how they look fresh off the needles, however with lace, it's helpful to block to open up the holes in the lace to see the pattern more. To wet block, I fill a tub full of lukewarm water and add a squeeze of wool wash. I gently submerge my knitwear into the water and press. Once fully ...

KNITTING 101: Pinning wet knits to blocking mats Be strategic with your pinning! I like to "over pin" with combs to ensure I have stretched my design exactly how I want it with no sagging or bunching. As mentioned in the previous blocking video, it's rare that I wet block my beanies, but lace is a special circumstance. I like to pin to shape...I don't stretch my brim, but I open up the lace by ...

KNITTING 101: Weaving in a tail into the brim Feed your tail through a large eye/tapestry needle. Simply weave your tail up a few stitches and down one or two in order to secure it. I tie a little knot (this is my preference). Snip the remaining tail and voila!

KNITTING 101: k3, k2tog

KNITTING 101: pfb Purl front & back (increase by 1 with a purl stitch)

KNITTING 101: kbl, p or the "twisted rib" brim A twisted rib brim makes for a tidier brim than a traditional k1, p1. Both are fantastic for elasticity on beanie brims, but my preference is the twisted rib. Simply knit through the back loop (kbl) for one stitch, then bring your yarn forward and purl a stitch. Repeat this around to the beginning of the round (BOR). Ensure you have an even number ...

KNITTING 101: Placing a stitch marker at beginning of round (BOR) Once you've joined your work to begin knitting in the round, add a stitch marker to denote the beginning of the round (BOR). You're ready to go. Once you reach the stitch marker, simply slip it from the left needle over to the right needle.

KNITTING 101: Joining yarn to work in the round using 16" circular needles There are various ways to join, but my favorite is to join by casting on ONE extra stitch than the pattern calls for. Lay your stitches out flat to ensure they're all facing downward. Then with your right needle, slip the last stitch on the left needle to the right needle. With your left needle, slip the second stitch on...

KNITTING 101: Learn how to measure the approximate length of your tail when doing the long tail cast on method and how to tie a simple slip knot to begin casting on. Here's how: 1. Wrap the yarn around the needle 10 times, then take that length and multiply it to reach your desired length. In other words...if you have to cast on 50 stitches, take the length you've just wrapped (10x) and measure...

KNITTING 101: Learn the long tail cast on. This method is one of the most standard types of "casing on" or "getting yarn on your needles to begin knitting. It acts as a base for stitches to build upon. There are MANY ways to cast on, but this is a great beginner cast on. Keep practicing...it's strange at first but you'll get the hang of it! Each loop on the needle counts as ONE stitch, includin...
