Circular Needles Knitting in 5 Easy Steps

🔴 SUBSCRIBE ON KZbin bit.ly/subscribe-SK
Knit in the Round on Circular Needles. Great for knitting hats! You can just keep knitting around and around and around rather than going back and forth like you’re used to doing with just your straight knitting needles. You can knit hats with just straight knitting needles, but to make them quickly, I prefer using circular needles!

[@shadowdusk2903]

Thank you so much for this. my blind grandmother just listened to this and although she is good at knitting she didn't understand how to knitt in the round. She now feels like she can try it again.

[@Thankful_.]

💚

[@trushapatel1578]

OMG I am so sorry about your grandmother being blind

[@RemarkableRobbi]

Your compassion for your grandmother is a wonderful blessing for all of us! I pray you are both well! Thank you for being her light 🤩🙏🏻❤️

[@cath1589]

Lovely to hear your grandmother doesn't let her blindness get in the way of her love for knitting. The tactile sense is very powerful, and I've seen experienced knitters continue knitting while looking up from their work. Your grandmother must be a very skilled and determined lady, good for her!

[@studioknit]

Wow, just reading this now. So happy and honored to help out your grandmother. 💖

[@lisecharlebois5375]

Great, easy tutorial that eliminates the mystery and intimidation of knitting with circular needles, especially for novices like me.

[@chloe1-2-3-4-5]

You're honestly amazing! I have watched what feels like a thousand videos on circular needles, but you explain it so well I only just wrapped my head around it!

[@kristynfedich8926]

Thank you for all these simple to follow tutorials! I have a 6 month old and am ready to get back into knitting (haven't done it since I was about 10!) so this will be so helpful as I start to try making her a hat!

[@studioknit]

Hi, +Kristyn Fedich - Really happy you found my channel and that I'm a part of helping you get back to knitting for your adorable baby!!!

[@dawnlafountain2768]

I LOVE your tutorial on knitting with circular needles! I have some, but have never used them - you make it look SO easy. Thank you and I look forward to more videos from you!

[@ImaneeStarz]

I’ve wanted to try using circular needles but I always felt it might be hard given my limited knitting skills. However, this video is motivating me try it. Awesome video!

[@jennyoreilley9936]

Great video for beginners on knitting in the round! One clarification though....this is not magic loop. Magic loop is a method for knitting small circumference objects (such as socks) in the round on long circulars.

[@mslaceyrose413]

This video was so timely for me. I use circular needles to knit flat all the time because I kept losing one of my straight needles in the middle of a project (I think the couch eats them, lol) I haven't gotten up the nerve to try knitting in the round with my circulars yet though. It seemed complicated and I wasn't sure what the dire warnings to "make sure you don't twist your stitches" meant. Now I do! The rest of your tips are helpful too. I hate having to weave in yarn tails at the end. Getting them out of the way from the start is a great idea! I think I see a completed hat project or two in my immediate future now! Thanks!!! :)

[@patricecooper8419]

Thank you for your presentation of circular needles! You always smile because you enjoy what you do, and that in turn makes me smile!

[@studioknit]

Awww.... you totally made my day! 💖

[@properdodgybird3611]

I've been knitting in the round for quite some time now but I've never seen how to tidy the tail yarn. How fantastic. Subscribed.

[@MLC48]

Really great instruction; I especially like how you hold the tail and the yarn together to anchor it and then to weave it into the work.

[@carolessary3970]

She's adorable ❣️ Love her happy personality and very understandable teaching👏🏻 Thank you 😊

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

LOVE YOUR CONTRIBUTION. To make my first row neater and WAY Faster, I beging with straight needles then transfer to circular needles of the same size.. It helps with my tension and I don't have to worry so much about twisting the first row. Probably most do not have this kind of knitting "dyslexia" but this method made me breeze through beginning a project, a bulk hat.

[@michellerichthammer]

This makes it look so easy! I’m starting to feel a little more confident going from straight needles to the magic loop.

[@gay_gandlaf]

I've been struggling to knit in the loop and your video helped me so much 😭

[@studioknit]

I'm so glad!

[@jenniferchristensen7060]

Your video makes knitting in the round look so easy! And thanks for the tip on knitting with both the tail and working yarn so you don't have to work in the ends.

[@mariacorona2991]

Can you knit a blanket with circular knitting needle?

[@VonCalski]

That was incredibly helpful! I’ve Ben trying to get my first few rows of casting on and knit 2 purl 2 in the round and this video clarified so much! Including how to secure the tail after joining. Cheers!

[@studioknit]

So happy to hear my video was so helpful to you. Happy knitting!

[@pattikubacki1818]

Great video. You took the fear out of knitting in the round for me. I appreciate it. Thank you.

[@arunamuralidharanharini9498]

Your guidance for beginners in circular needle is simple and easy to follow. Thank you very much.

[@kimmack9153]

Hello, I've been struggling with joining in the round for months until I finally came across your tutorial. Your technique made it so easy for me to catch on and I sincerely thank you.

[@studioknit]

+Kim Mack So wonderful!! Yay, you!! Happy to have helped!! 💞👏🏼

[@redroselong99]

Studio Knit thanks to your video I knit a basic hat in the round for the first time! I already enjoyed your patterns but I can’t thank you enough, currently working on the brain hat!🎉

[@studioknit]

Wonderful, congratulations!

[@teresaleo9554]

Thank you! I have been having problems getting the right stitch in the round. You just told me what I was doing wrong. THANK YOU!

[@tinytess9475]

thanks so much for sharing this video.. im more of a crocheter but have recently bought a pair of circular knitting needles to start a few projects. This was so simple and easy to understand. I've subscribed so I can keep coming back :) x

[@mysticgothmama6796]

Thank you! I'm trying to knit a blanket for my son (he picked the color) and this will be my first time using circular needles!

[@ShawnsterVideos]

[@brendajones8961]

Great beginner video. I'm trying to transition from straight needles to circular, so this was very helpful! Thank you.

[@LeslieT]

Wow you made this look so easy! And the extra little tips are appreciated! I was afraid of any pattern that called for a circular needle…. I’m going out today to get one and get started. ❤

[@studioknit]

Yay, hope it’s going well for you. 💖

[@abbyrivas9486]

I was really struggling with this and your video helped so much. Thank you!!

[@studioknit]

+Abby Rivas That's wonderful to hear!!! Thanks for letting me know and happy knitting to you!!

[@nayremanookian6816]

Great tutorial 👌 I was giving these knitting needle's and hand no idea how too use them (I'm a visual learner) This is awesome, thank you 👏

[@CassieDA17]

Great tip on knitting the tail into the hat! I love it. I have a hat on circular needles right now and my plastic part between is way too long. I'm going to try one with a shorter cord next time.

[@cheekycuteco]

So clear and easy to follow. You're a great teacher - thank you!

[@patriciafield9501]

Thank you your understandable instructions on knitting in the round.

[@studioknit]

Hi, +Patricia Field - You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@kaethesolomon4485]

How do I correct when using a cable needle that the blanket added up connected?

[@fancystampin]

I just love your excitement and energy!!!

[@studioknit]

Thanks so much!!! Really appreciate your encouragement!

[@katiefreebie]

just bought a circular needle kit and this is THE video i needed to begin!!! thank you thank you thank you!!!!! got my first round no problem!

[@studioknit]

Wonderful!

[@lindsayrogers694]

I’m new to knitting and your videos are really helpful!

[@TheWanderingWife]

I LOVE my circs! I use them almost exclusively, even when knitting flat pieces.

[@MontanaKat1912]

I remember my Mom taught me to knit basic and I've always seen my mom knitting as she would use her cicular needles and I've always wanted to learn the cicular needles and since she passed away last year and never gotten the chance to learn. I know she warned me it's hard to learn the cicular needles at first. This will help me for sure. Thank you! :)

[@studioknit]

Awww... Thanks for sharing, +Kathy Bruce --- your mom will be smiling upon you as you knit in the round with ease... It's so much fun!! Good luck!

[@soniczforever5470]
