Switch from Knitting on Circular Needles to Double Point Needles (DPNs) in the Round - Hat Decreases

In this knitting lesson, I'll show you how to move a hat top from circular needles to Double Point Needles (DPNs). In this example, I have been knitting a hat from the bottom up on circular needles that are roughly the same size as the project. The decreases at the top, however, eventually make the circular needles too long to work with. To finish the decreases and close the hat top, I will switch from knitting on the circular needle to working with double point needles (DPNs). This allows me to continue decreasing.

Do you have to turn your work inside out before transferring to the DPNs?

[@Purlsandpixels]

Thank you for your question. Sorry I didn't see it right away. You do not have to turn your work inside out to switch. Just keep knitting in the same way as you have been, except knit with the DPN and not the corded needle until the corded needle comes free. Hope that helps!
