I hope you are enjoying your hat now that it's winter. I'm worker on my third nalbinding hat for my daughter after making one for myself and one for my wife. I've been starting them at the bottom and working my way to the top. For my wife and daughter, I just measured their heads at the start and hoped it came out OK. My wife's ended up a little tight but it's loosening as she wears it. I like your idea of decreasing a row at the crease. Too late for my current project, but I think I'll try that on the next one. My first two hats used the Oslo stitch, but this time I'm keeping two stitches on my thumb instead of one and the hat has a more pronounced pattern and is thicker and will likely be warmer. Thanks again!
I adore yarn crafts. I look forward to completing a hat for a friend of mine including a note with abit of the history behind this craft. ♡ Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge.
That's really cool. The last hat I made required many fittings. I'm glad you find the same. Great tips though and I will be looking for some chunkier yarn. I found alpaca yarn was very easy to work with
I just had a thought that you could change your gauge by using something like a pencil instead of your thumb and maybe this is eventually how knitting evolved.
I might do. I know some people want to learn stitches I haven't covered, like the Mammen stitch. I'm also considering mitten and sock tutorials, but I would need to get better at them first. Is there anything specific you would like a tutorial about?
I saw a video of a fellow at a RenFair kind of gathering and he had what he called "Viking socks" but they looked like slippers to me. :) They were done with Nalebinding as well.
@@HrafnNordhri They probably were socks, but just thick (because of the yarn) and with low shin parts (because those are hard to get to fit). Making closely fit things with nalbinding is hard.
Hello! Thank you very much for your videos. I ve been stuck for a while because I couldn t find rescources understandable to me.I would like to know how we decrease. Do we just do one stitch out of two, for example? Thank you again!
Hello! To decrease the stitch number you use an extra braid loop in your stitch. So instead of using one braid loop from the previous row, you go through two braid loops from the pervious row to make one stitch. I included this in my original Oslo stitch tutorial video.

I don't have a tutorial on making socks, but I found the #nalbindingsockstitchalong that @karin_byom did on histogram (part 1: instagram.com/p/BsfYiWsHXUR/?igshid=1r5fg77uemit5) very useful, and I have been using that to make socks myself. If you are wondering how to finish an item in nalbinding, like this hat, you tighten the last few loops and fasten the thread in the binding. Since nalbinding can't be unravelled, it will just stay like that. If you mean another ending, I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean, and I need more explanation to give a satisfying answer.
I used about 100 grams for this hat (100g = 102m). The amount of yarn you use very much depends on the stitch you are using. If you are using a compact stitch, you will use more yarn. The Oslo stitch is one of the least compact ones. I would expect to use about the same amount of yarn if I had knitted or crocheted this hat using the same yarn.
I didn't. If I did, it wouldn't fit anymore, as it would shrink in the process (I had to look up the word, as I only know it as felting or toving (the Norwegian word)). If you make the hat a little large, you could full it, but it might turn out pretty stiff. I would consider using a slightly thinner yarn if you were going to full it.
Hello! I am currently making a shawl thing that is like a cowl, just with a split down the middle. The instructions I'm using said to start with a line that would be at the neck and go back and forth, increasing every 10-12 stitches. I'm finding that to be too seldom, but it depends on your yarn. I would increase evenly, though, but how often again depends on your yarn and the stitch you're using. Since I assume the cowl has no opening at the front, just go round and round increasing evenly. I'm just guessing, but I hope this helps! I'm just going to have to make a triangle for the front to get mine to close, so good luck! Keep in mind this is advice from a relative beginner, I have never made a cowl.
Keep in mind that you can *_kind of_* follow a crochet pattern stitch number wise. What I mean by that is take a plain stitch crochet pattern that gives you how many stitches you're supposed to have after each row, or at least an ending row, plus a measurement. For example: the finished hat circumference works out to 80 stitches and measures 22 inches. (These are just made up figures as an example!) So you do 80 of your chosen stitch and then measure it. If it measures to 22 inches then you're golden! If not figure out how many more, or less!, you need to get to the measurement. There's your percentage of what you need to either increase or decrease!

So glad you made part 2!!! Love your videos ma'am

Maybe! There are also many patterns and stitches that call for tightening the thread around the needle in nalbinding.
Good Job! cute hat and it looks great😊👍
Great videos. Thank you.
Thank you for these tutorials. Will you be making more?

About how many meters or grams did your hat take? Does nalbinding take more yarn than crochet or knitting? Thanks!
