Baby hat on circular knitting machine. New closing method for hats!

Buen día Alina,me encantó este tutorial,muy bien explicado,me gustó la terminación del gorrito.saludos cordiales de Córdoba, Juárez Celman.Espero aprender mucho más de tus proyectos 😘😍❤

[@Freya778]

The way you use the contrasting waste yarn in the beginning is the best I have seen so far!!! A lot of video's I have seen use a lot more of the waste yarn and even cut it later so it cannot be used again. You only use a little bit and the way you do it it can be used again. It is also much easier and faster to remove in your way. Your way is also different in that you use 2 threads in the beginning, the waste yarn and the regular yarn together. I greatly prefer your way.

[@AlinaHeraDesigns]

Thank you so much! I'm glad it helped you!

Thank you Alina. This was a clear and very helpful tutorial for a beginner. The finish was so professional. I look forward to any new instructions you will be posting soon. I am specially trying to incorporate texture patterns with variable stitches. This would create a new dimension to the knitting.

Thank you for this great video. This hat is so cute I wanted to make it too but unfortunately Michael's doesn't carry the striped one anymore. I also knitted a double layer hat with craftsmart yarn and had lots of problems with dropped and tucked stitches. I used the middle tension so today I'll try your method of leaving the yarn on the side instead of the yarn feeder. Thank you for this tip.

[@AlinaHeraDesigns]

Sometimes is hard to work with Craftsmart. When I knit with it, I knit slowly and with my left hand I push the loops down before they come to the knitting needle.

[@cookie761]

Thank you for your wonderful video! I normally skip videos that involve waste yarn because they're a waste of time, as far as I'm concerned, but this is an excellent use of one row of waste yarn.... By the way, I looked all over for a way to subscribe and there was no button to click, so I pressed the bell and I think I will get Notifications. But there was no subscribe place.

[@AlinaHeraDesigns]

Thank you so much! And with regards to the subscription button, if it's not there then that probably means that you are already subscribed so thank you :)

[@paulathomas9240]

[@AlinaHeraDesigns]

Thanks for watching!

[@vickih5298]

Thank you for all the great tips!! I have a question regarding your cast on if you don't mind. When you finished casting on it looked like you skipped the last needle. Why would we do that?

[@AlinaHeraDesigns]

When we cast on we start in front of the 1st needle and finish in back of the last needle; then we place it in the yarn feeder which make it in front of the 1st needle which is part of the next round. When I cast on with waste yarn, like in this situation (I have the main yarn + waste yarn just for the cast on so my loops can be more visible to be picked up), the yarn is in the back of the last needle. I don't bring the waste yarn it in front of the 1st needle because I don't knit with it @ 1:37. However, this make the last loop to be without waste yarn @ 7:10 . I hope that it makes sense.

[@irinatabune5173]

Thanks!

[@AlinaHeraDesigns]

Thank you so much!

[@amyhon2000]

I saw in another comment that you used the Sentro 40 needle machine. Can this hat be done on the 48 needle machine if you use less rows?

[@AlinaHeraDesigns]

Yes, you can make it with 48 needles, but use tight tension (closest to the machine)! For a newborn hat knit 60 rounds, for 6 Months knit 70 rounds. The hat will be a little wider than the one made with 40 needles.

[@vickievann3162]

Can you use a 22 needle or a 48 needle?

[@AlinaHeraDesigns]

Yes, you can use any machine, but the size of the hat will be different. With the 22 needles you have to make tubes and sew them together as in this video (for Newborn hat make just 3 tubes) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqq8pnR4qNV1Y7s

[@MariaRivera-wg8zg]

Great video. I just ordered my machine today. Why do you need to use waste yarn to cast on ?

[@AlinaHeraDesigns]

Glad to hear that! If you choose to finish the hat directly on the machine by picking up the loops from the first round with the loops from the last round (in this video you can see this method here 6:31) it's easier to see the loops if you cast on with waste yarn as well. I have another video (minute 30) where I show this method but without the waste yarn kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2K7gqajqrGshJY

Do you prefer the snap or elastic band for the Pompoms? Why?

Does it have to be a 40 needle machine? Can you use a 48? (For it to be baby sized)

[@AlinaHeraDesigns]

You can use a 48, but use tight tension (closest to the machine)! For a newborn hat knit 60 rounds (17 rounds for top + 43 for brim & liner if you make it with 2 colors), for 6 Months knit 70 rounds. The hat will be a little wider than the one made with 40 needles.

This has is 6 x 6 inches (15 cm) and was made with 40 needles knitting machine. You can see the measurements here15:48. However, depending on the yarn that you use and the tension, you may get different sizes. This hat should fit a newborn to 3, or even 6 months old (not every baby is the same :) ).
