I love these more technical "how to make knitting work for you" type videos. It really takes my knitting, and my overall understanding, to the next level! Thanks for updating the thumbnail color too!! Hope you are staying warm this Thanksgiving.
Roxanne, this technique Tuesday is a real jewel. Thanks so much for doing all the math for us, I will have fun knitting traveling twisted stitches hat from now on.
I didn't mention this in the video, but for my traveling twisted sts hat, I used ktbl and k2togtbl for the crown of the pink hat, since the rest of the knits in the hat were ktbl.
I love every video you put out. Why do I feel more confident and powerful in making knitty decisions after watching you? Because you rock!!! 👏👏👏 thanks so much! Saving this one!
I cant believe how much I learn from your channel. I never had confidence in counting rows. You are so clear. Thank you. Also your video on UA-cam has me watching ads for at least 30 secs. Hopefully a small way to pay you back.
Thank you soo much! I was looking for an easy method to finish off the toque I am knitting. I am an absolute beginner and understood it well. Your explanation was very clear and concise.
Thank you for taking the mystery out of hat crowns. I never understood how to improvise a crown on a hat before. This gives me the freedom to make up my own hats. I’ll be interested in your other types of hat crowns as well.
I just completed a hat using 2 circs and this crown. It turned out great! I knitted a 2x2 ribbing all the way to the crown with a folded brim. Thanks so much!
Very helpful, thank you! Looking forward to the rest of this series. I often have trouble getting hats to fit the way I like - I don't like slouchy hats - and I think this simple method would work for me. Looking forward to trying it soon.
I've made lots of hats, but I still found this refresher video very helpful. I look forward to the rest of the videos in this series! Thank you so much.
This is perfect for recreating a hat my grandma made me years ago that got eaten by moths... she did not remember anymore which pattern she used, if any, so I have set myself the challenge of doing it myself and writing it up...
Happy Thanksgiving! A third option for the stitch pattern you have chosen would be to elongate or shorten it in the middle of every repeat to fit the row count. Ahhh, the marvels of knitting.
Hello there, you have been very busy and I'm pleased that you have shown me your recipe for these. My Brother lives in Central Otago and they have some pretty epic frosts and snowfalls. He works on a Cherry Orchard and goes through lots of hats which his elder sister, me, knits. This looks to be an interesting way to work these. Happy Thanksgiving, Safe travel and take care.
This is perfectly timed for me! I have almost finished a scarf I've done in openwork diamond pattern. I wanted to do a hat to match with 2" in rib 6" in diamonds but didn't know how to dec the top...but thanks to you I now know! Thanks ever so much for your wonderfully informative videos.
Thank you so much for your videos. I’m always learning. Usually I am running two weeks behind in watching, and I just watched the video from two weeks ago where you asked for suggestions on future videos. I am completing an intarsia sweater for my great grandson called the Digger. My outcome is okay, but I know I can do better. I was talking to some fellow knitters and a few of us had some same questions concerning intarsia. This sweater is a good example. So I thought I would throw this out and see if you would consider talking about this topic. Thanks again for all of your Tips and Techniques.
Very interesting (and helpful) video. I had to laugh at myself while watching this video - I was obviously paying more attention to what you were saying than to my knitting, as I suddenly found myself doing a k2tog halfway up the sole of my sock!!
Thank you Roxanne! This was very helpful. Almost everyone in my family has a really big head so I’m constantly modifying hat patterns. Can’t wait to try this technique and looking forward to the next video!!
Amazing! I love these series. I'm learning so much. I also have a request when you have time. I've noticed there are very few videos on how to knitchener stitch in color patterns. Maybe it would be a good subject to dive into. I think once you understand how to kitchener st two pieces of fabric together it may be easy enogu, but you explain things so well...For instance: I'm knitting a toddler sweather but I didn't like the middle parte once blocked. So I cut it off instead of ripping the whole thing out. Now I'm reknitting the fair isle portion and I then will sew the pieces together. Lesson learned: blocking is not magic.
Thank you, Roxanne! This is very helpful and clearly illustrated. One question: when you have few stitches left after all the decreases, do you have to switch to double-pointed needles?
Hi Roxanne thank you for your easy to follow instructions for everything that you do. I have a question: would you be willing to do a video showing some of the books on you shelf about knitting. Other designers do it but they usually are 'plugging' a new book thats just out. I know that you would not do that. I have tried reading the spines of your books, but cant really see them. I'm keen to know which ones you have found useful and even though you may not be able to get them new, thats ok.
I did a series of Casual Friday segments showing the books in my library a number of years ago. I believe it was in the fall of season 2. So if you look at the videos starting around episode 40 or 42 of Season 2, you'll find a segment every week for about 6 or 7 weeks. The library has grown since then, but it'll give you a taste.
Excellent video. This is SO perfect for the upcoming long holiday weekend with some time for playing with yarn and knitting! I will share the same sentiment that others have already expressed, thanks for giving us the power! Really looking forward to this series. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Roxanne.
Very helpful. Question : if I am knitting very large to felt the hat after, can I still use this patter of decreases. My pattern using a bulky wool calls for multiple plain rounds between decreases.
Your hat may have a longer, more fitted method of shaping the crown, which will remain smooth when felted. This method is quite gathered, and may not be a great option for felting. Only way to know for sure would be to try it and see what happens.
Question, when working with bulky or super bulky yarns, are there better suited cast ons, how best to manage the yarn, I the process of just knitting, wrapping the needle, seem to add twist that is more noticeable. I like the look of a chunky knit, and its quick, especially for gifts. But instead of easier, it seem yarn management is more challenging. Am i nuts? Too picky? There must be some secret tip or technique.
Have question: stitching a basic rib hat stitching .you knit stitch threw the back so when a start crown should I continue to do or just knit threw front. ❤
@@yvonnevigil7489 I usually start my hats with traveling loop, and then switch to magic loop once the crown decreases make the hat too small for traveling loop. Here's a video on traveling loop ua-cam.com/video/SHHSZQYuy9Q/v-deo.html and here is one on magic loop ua-cam.com/video/6gtIaM6H7H4/v-deo.html.
Would please help me how can I decrease when the hat has pattern such as those what you demonstrated I can’t decrease every 10 stitches or knit 2 and so on Please help me Thanks so much for your useful explanation which makes it easy and interesting Best regards Fatima
Regardless of the stitch pattern you are using, once it's time to start the crown, you stop working the stitch pattern you have been using, and instead work the instructions exactly as I explained, using only knits and k2togs.
I don't know if I've ever seen a more clear, direct video on knitting instruction. Thank you!
I love this series. I have the power!

You have perfect timing. I am working on two hats with modifications. Thank you this informative video.
Thank for sharing. I am new to knitting and I am always glad to learn new things.

Great video tutorial, Roxanne. Thanks so much.
As you were talking about adapting the stitch pattern, I flashed to written music with repeats and codas.
Perfect timing for a hat to match my daughter’s winter coat! Thank you!
Nice hat patterns!
Thanks Roxanne!❤
Saving this for when I can focus. I know this is info I need. 🧶💕🧶

My thought, too!

I have three videos relating to intarsia that you can find in my Color Work playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PL1AZxTfSCe2ciu_XbYOVClammwvqVzIiy.html
As always very helpful. Thanks.
thank you! this explanation of principles is so clear, a real wonderful engineering :)
Very interesting (and helpful) video. I had to laugh at myself while watching this video - I was obviously paying more attention to what you were saying than to my knitting, as I suddenly found myself doing a k2tog halfway up the sole of my sock!!
A video on how to do this for cables would be greatly appreciated!!

I stitch my Knit sts threw the back
If you knit through the back leg for the main part of the hat body, then continue that in the crown.
@RoxanneRichardson thank you do you have a video on knitting a hat doing magic loop method?

Rox please post a k2og double yoSL1kw how to do it and what is he purpose of double yo? Thanks
It looks like you may have mistyped the instruction. Without seeing what the instruction actually is, there's no way to answer your question.
Great video thank you 😊
Thanks.
