You have cast one stitch on to needle #1. 5. Bring needle #2 over the yarn tail on your thumb, around and under the yarn and back up, making a loop around needle #2. Pull the loop snug around the needle. You have cast one stitch on to needle #2. There are now two stitches on needle #2 Ñ the stitch you just cast on plus the anchor loop. The top yarn strand always wraps around needle #1 (the bottom needle), and the bottom yarn strand always wraps around needle #2 (the top needle). 6. 7. 8. In this picture, a total of 20 stitches, or 10 stitches on each needle, have been cast on. Turn back to the right side to begin knitting. 9. Knit the row of stitches from needle #1. You will see a row of stitches appear between the two needles. 10. Be careful! You have completed one round and are back where you started. Note: Do the stitches between the needles appear too loose or "sloppy?" There are two rows of stitches between the needles now. Round 3: K all stitches on both needles (no decreases).

How to knit with two circulars How to knit small circumferences with two circulars You don't need double-pointed needles to knit small circumferences like sleeves, gloves, socks, and the top of hats. Instead you can use two circulars, which cuts the number of joins down to only two. A few people have claimed credit for this neat trick; I think it's one of those things that occured to multiple people about the same time. I learned how to do it by reading a magazine article written by Joyce Williams (Summer 2000, Knitter's magazine). Select your needles You can use two circulars of any length; 16" through 29" seem to work the best. I prefer to use two needles with different cable lengths so I can always tell at a glance which needle I'm holding. If your two circulars are identical in brand and length (which makes them impossible to tell apart) you can place a marker after a few stitches have been worked on the first needle so you know the circular with the marker is needle #1. Casting on How it works That's it!

Baby E - the noro entrelac scarf Ingredients- 3 skeins Noro Silk Garden (colourway 211 if you wanna be just like me). I used up just shy of three balls. I worked out I could cut out the boring grey bits of the end of the third ball and still have a long enough scarf. Dimensions/ Specifications5 inches/ 13cm wide; 66 inches/ 166 cm long(X) = 5. TemplateI have chosen to write this pattern out with some flexibility, because when learning new techniques (like entrelac) I have difficulty separating what parts/ numbers of stitches are specific to the pattern, and what parts belong to the actual stitch pattern/ technique. What remains constant is that this is three blocks wide. Because of all that totally complex maths, you might like to copy this into Word and replace all the (X)es with the number you actually intend to use. Set Up TrianglesCast on 3 x (X) stitches. P2, turn.K2, turn.P3, turn.K3, turn.Continue until you P (X). Ignore what you've already made (a little funny curled up triangle) and repeat again: Continue!

Les steeks ou comment couper dans son tricot | Du Tissu, de la Laine et du Thé. Je vais profiter du pull Norwegian pour reparler du tricot en circulaire et des steeks, puisque l’on me pose encore de temps en temps quelquees questions à ce sujet. Ce pull se tricote donc en rond, sans ouverture jusqu’aux épaules, ni pour les manches, ni pour l’ouverture au niveau du devant. Rien du tout. Un tube de bas en haut. Pourquoi? En tricotant en rond: On ne fait plus que des rangs endroits, et tricoter toujours à l’endroit c’est plus rapide et le tricot est plus régulier, On ne suit plus le diagramme que dans un sens, de droite à gauche, ce qui est plus simple, Et pour finir il n’y a pas de couture.Ce qui pour ceux qui détestent les coutures est appréciable. Et c’est la méthode traditionnelle du tricot norvégien. Le devant du pull se tricote dans le sens des flêches vertes, il faut donc arrêter les mailles centrales au niveau de la ligne mauve horizontale. J’ai donc mis les mailles centrales en attente sur une aiguille auxilliaire. Ces mailles s’appellent les steeks.

The Thumb Trick: Sometimes called an afterthought thumb, I first read about it in Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitter's Almanac. I really like this method because it's seamless; sometimes when patterns have you place stitches on a holder and then cast on the top stitches you can get an odd seam right in the crease where your thumb meets the hand, and that can be uncomfortable. The only trouble that some people may have with this method is that you cannot immediately try on your mitten in progress, as you can with mittens where the stitches are put on holders. The trick: Knit to where you want to place the thumb hole, and take a length of contrasting yarn, and knit the thumbhole stitches with it instead of your working yarn: (see the working yarn, still on the right-hand side of the work?) Then, slip all these stitches back onto your left hand needle purl wise: And knit across them, with your working yarn: Here are the held stitches after a few rows have been worked: (Fetching uses a ribbed pattern. Ta da!

Maybe on my next pair of socks I'll give that a try. I only do the 1 or 2 circs method. Should work fine I'd say. by douglasgrendahl Dec 21

I have done it and it's not hard to master, although I have to read the directions again each time I use it. I usually do socks 2 at a time and there are instructions for that on the Internet too. I don't know if I've save that link in Pearltrees. by stacyw Dec 20
