Thank you so much for this tutorial. Want to make one of these hats. Scared to try beforehand. This will make such a difference. Will be getting to pattern now. Have a great holiday. ❤
I was confused with the placing of the markers. I kept coming up with only two lanes and not 4 so I will try this method and I hope it works 😅. Thank you
I’ve been knitting for nearly 50 years and never liked the cast on end of the musselburgh! So I start at the point after the increases, using a cord to hold them. Then after doing the rest of the hat, I come back to the beginning and start decreasing. I just think it looks prettier when both ends are decreased.
I also don’t like that criss cross pattern so I just start off with a magic circle and 8 stitches then I place markers between the stitches and increase at each marker on every other round. That gives me a lovely rounded top with an 8 segment swirly pattern.
@catofthecastle1681. I’ve wondered if this is possible but wouldn’t you need to cast on so many stitches to begin ? Does this create a line around the hat where these cast on stitches are? Grateful for any tips 🙏
So sorry you couldn't see it well. I think I will redo it with a more suitable color. I am going to post the same video continental style in the next couple of days and will use a lighter yarn and a closer view. Thanks for your feedback and support. It is definitely a learning curve! Best wishes
Yes, it is. My grandmother taught it to me when I was 5 years old and she lived in a small town in Northern England near Liverpool. It seems other viewers from that area know of this cast on too. Possibly it originated there. Best wishes!
After 3 days and countless hours you have gotten me started! Thank you so much!!!
You are most welcome! Best wishes ❤️
It's a wonderful pattern
Knit a few times
Thanks for your tips
It really is a great pattern. I hope my nephew enjoys it as much as I do.

Wow this was helpful. ❤
I'm so glad this was helpful! Happy knitting!
Omg that is the cast on I learned 45 years ago
I won't say how long ago I learned but it was my first cast -on type and I've used it for almost everything ever since. Always seems to work well.

You are most welcome. 🥰
Thank you for your very clear tutorial. I will definitely use your method when I begin my Musselburgh 😁🧶
You are most welcome. I am so glad that it will be helpful with your next project. Happy knitting!
A very clear tutorial, thank you! I have the pattern and need to get going.
Thank you for watching and your feedback 😊

Sounds lovely!
Thank you!
You're so welcome. Glad it was helpful
Such a pity you used dark yarn I found it difficult to see - but thank you for all the hard work

I cast on in a simikar fashion but I only loop round my thumb once why do you dobut several times
I had to just cast on a couple of stitches to visualize it again. lol. I loop around once but the yarn crosses at the front. I hope that makes sense.
@@mywonderfulknittinglifeOK it looks like you wrap twice but whatever it works and mine works for me
@@gillianrolland4305 Glad you have a cast on that works for you. Enjoy your project!
Thats just a version of the long tail cast on.

This is great to leave for posterity. Your hands look like they hurt.
Thanks! I have terrible allergies and I unfortunately touched something that did not agree with me. They look better today though.
I think it would be easier to follow if a lighter colored yarn were used. It´s not easy to see the stitches when the yarn is dark.
Thank you for your feedback. I will keep this in mind for the next one. Best wishes.
