  • In this tutorial, I will show you how to knit a headband with a twist in English rib. It's a beautiful and warm accessory, that will keep your ears warm. It's also a fast and easy project to knit. This headband is knit back and forth, I knit in the Continental style, but you can easily knit in the English style - the pattern stays the same.
    Written tutorial with pictures can be found in my blog here:
    bit.ly/32AF5bQ
    *************************************************************
    Contents:
    00:27 - Cast on
    02:14 - Row 1 (foundation row)
    04:11 - Row 2
    05:34 - Bind off
    07:38 - The twist
    *******************************************************************************************
    MATERIALS:
    Yarn - light worsted yarn. I chose Lima by Drops (1.8 oz = approx 109 yards (50 g = approx 100 m). I've used less, than 1 skein.
    You can find it here: amzn.to/2My6JAR
    Needles - 3.5mm (US4/UK9). I used 40cm (16″) circular needles.
    You can find them here: bit.ly/2MBC3ih
    Scissors - I just love the peacock scissors (small, sharp, cute and have a comfortable grip)
    You can find them here: amzn.to/2J9GoHj
    Tapestry needle
    *******************************************************************************************
    SIZE:
    Adult fit, head circumference: 56-58cm (22"-22.5"). If you want to change the width - cast on more/fewer stitches, but a total stitch count must be a multiple of 3.

      Oh, thank you so much, you're so sweet!
      Well, dislikes are quite normal - everyone has their own expectations from a video, and if they are not met, the person doesn't like it.

    This pattern was hard for me to do as a beginner so if there are any beginners out there wanting to achieve a similar pattern do the following:
    cast on 30 stitches
    P2, K1, P2, K1, P2, K1...
    then pearl the pearls and knit the knits.
    You'll get almost the identical pattern but its just easier to handle when you are just starting. Happy knitting!

      That's true, the English rib is puffy and pretty, but it can be confusing for a beginner. The traditional 1x1 rib is a nice alternative for a beginner.

    I’ve made 5 of these and they turned out great! I much prefer it to be 20” long, so it feels better on my head. Also when binding off, I started by k2tog then purled the next stitch, etc., then I knit the last 2 stitches together. It made the bind off a bit thicker so it didn’t have a hole at the corners. Thank you SO much! It’s soft, flexible, warm and also makes a great neck warmer when you pull it down. I also made a few stitches on each side of the twist after seaming to keep it staying flat so it doesn’t get accidentally put on with the seam on top

    • @mirellamoments9455
      @mirellamoments9455  4 роки тому +1

      @@TJazzie26 This is Continental knitting - I hold the yarn in my left hand and "pick" it with the right needle. If you knit in the English style, this can look confusing.
      Basically, you just repeat 2 things - you make a yarn over and you knit 2 stitches together.
      Hope this helps!

    @AB-lg1co 4 роки тому +4

    Thanks a lot for the guidance! I used a different pattern for my headband, but then I stitched two ends in a twist as you are showing. 😊 I think 30 stitches make the headband too wide, around 20-25 should be enough.

    • @mirellamoments9455
      @mirellamoments9455  4 роки тому

      You're welcome! :) Sure, the number of stitches can be customized - it really depends on how wide you want the headband to be and your knitting tension (and the chosen yarn, of course - wool, for example, often expands after the project is washed the first time).

    Hi! This is wonderful, it really gave back my enthusiasm as it is rather easy and the result is stunning. Your video is perfect for beginners like me. However, I accidentally dropped a stitch and I could not figure out how to fix it...I had to start it again from the beginning. 😔 Do you have any video, or can you maybe link one on how to fix this exact pattern you use and have the needle correctly back in the row? I only found videos about correction with the English style knitting of this pattern. Is the fix the same with your knitting way of the pattern as well? Thanks a lot in advance. ☺️

      Hi there! Oh, yes, picking up a dropped stitch in the English rib is a pain... I think the English style fix, would work, but here is a video, that shows the Continental fix:

      I hope this helps!

      Add a lifeline every couple inches of your knitting. You do that by threading scrap yarn into a tapestry needle and tracing through the row of loops on your needle. That way, if you see a mistake, you can remove a few rows and no worries about dropped stitches.
