I just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful demonstration on how to do the long tail cast on. I've been doing the long tail cast on, but another way that takes longer, is not professional looking. and also I get so much variation in the widths between each stitch and the heights of the stitches. The way you taught how to do it ....... I FINALLY GOT IT after years of trying!!! ( I put it on a lower playback speed but can finally cast on the right way!) This made my day! I'll refer back to your video from now on. I also loved the tutorial on how to work with the double point needles. I did have two questions though. When you cast on the first stitch, does it matter if you pull the yarn through from the tail side or the working yarn side? Also, when working on joining in the round, when using medium weight yarn, many sites state to add one stitch extra to prevent a long section in between the first 2 stitches. Do you also recommend that? Thank you so much. I'm so glad I found your you tube video. Your soothing voice made it very relaxing to watch and learn. Thank you again !!!

Excellent! Thank you!

❤very easy and beautiful ❤

Thank you so much! I've knitted a lot of scarves and baby blankets, but never a hat. Your directions were perfect and I can't wait to make more!

Thank you so much for this!

Does it matter how many stitches you have to follow this pattern. I have 108. How many stitches should I put a marker on

Go back to part 1

Great video series! Thank you for sharing

Thank you so much! This cleared up all my confusion about finishing a hat I’m making

I always end up with an unsightly vertical crack that opens and bends to the right when I k2tog. How can I get rid of it?

Can I use this decrease on a rib stitch hat

These are excellent videos. Thank you very much.

What are the makers for? Not to have to count?

Thank you, this was a excellent series and my hat turned out perfectly!💕💃🏻

I like the words it's not an exact science. While you split the atom here..xx I must use stitch markers.

Thank you so much for this video! 😄

Thank you. This was so helpful.

Enjoyed knitting with you🧶

I have a hat pattern for a baby hat that I want to make bigger. So, more stitches. What is the rule of thumb on how to decrease, for different number of stitches .

thank you. the video is very clear and helpful esp the tip with the place markers.

Thank you! I think I finally understand it now. Love the mountain and the mouse : )

The camera is a little too high. I missed a little.

Could you do a video on The Ribbing part of the hat?

Awesome Video! You made transitioning to the double point needle, so easy! Thank you!

Your videos are so helpful, thank you!

Your video is so helpful, thank you! It was particularly helpful learning how to transition to double point needles. Not so intimidating as I first thought. 😄

Very helpful- thank you!

Unfortunately, the camera or the hands are not properly positioned as hands and needles are blurry; and the knitter has not noticed when the project is no longer visible as they have gone out of camera range.

Would love to see the whole making the flower. It was out of frame , had a little problem making the binding over.

Do you really have to switch to dpn because I don’t have any. Is there a way to keep it on the circular needle?

your instructions are very good but you need to have your camera positioned to show everything you are instructing. You keep going off camera at the top i.e., when hiding your tails; as you were trying to instruct how to knit a flower. Otherwise I give you a 5.......

Great video! you are an excellent teacher

Thank you!

Can I do the whole thing in dpns? A set of circulars are a little pricey for me right now and buying one specifically for hats doesn’t make sense for me cuz I have to end with dpns anyway Any suggestions?

Thank you so much for making this so easy for someone who has trouble following directions! If this works, it will be my first attempt and success with the DPN!!!

What a darling little hat. Love the flowers on it too.

Can't it be finished in the round

Easy to follow. Thank you!

opps i have 90 stitches..

does it matter how many stitches you have on your needles? i have 80 on my needles

Thanks. Could you go to a smaller circular needle, like a 9 or 12 inch?

Very nice instructions and you have a very nice voice, clear directions, just one thing--the camera needs to be aimed more at the action of your fingers, you are often doing things off of the screen.

Thank you so much for taking the mystery out of switchboard Nguyen to DPN's... I think a lot of fairly new knitters are afraid of DPN's...

This is incredible, I actually learned how to use DPNs from your video! I've been intimidated by them up until now. Thanks for posting!

What kind of camera are you using? Your tips are great, but I'm a little seasick from the rocking motion...

2/12/17 video isn't loading for me ... hmmmm

How do you know when to start decreasing? Is there a rule of thumb?

Hello, can you please tell me what brand needles you're using in this video and how you like them? Thanks.

Had no idea making flowers could be so simple! This will be a perfect addition to the hat I'm making for my mother for Christmas

Very helpful, thanks for posting!
