I wish I'd watched this about 6 weeks ago. The technique for picking up floats is fantastic. I've just finished a Fair Isle cardigan and all the other videos and instructions just seem to say lay the yarn to be caught in across the other yarn before making the stitch which is impossible to do without letting go of the left hand yarn and leads to the two yarns being twisted. I'm now on to a Nordic style jumper and this technique makes it so much easier. Thank you.

[@KnitWithHannah]

Glad it helped! There are so many variations, I'll bet some knitters may have found this video more confusing! 😂 Happy knitting 🧶

[@ritajordan2374]

I enjoy watching your tutorials. You are so informative and slow so I can learn. I’m a beginner knitter and I can follow your lead. Keep the tutorials coming . 🦋

[@KnitWithHannah]

You are so welcome! so glad you found this helpful. Happy knitting! 🧶

[@christinehuxley420]

Thank you for this very helpful and encouraging video. I am trying Fair Isle for the first time! I am taking it very slowly and chose a simple seeding pattern so I don’t have to worry about following a chart too much as you recommend. I'm really getting into the swing of it now!

[@KnitWithHannah]

That’s great, congrats on your first fair isle successes. Happy knitting 🧶

[@Karlarocks051]

Thank you for this! First time knitting Fair Isle, it’s good fun!

[@espererai1]

You are right sounds complicated but once I got the hang of it (took many rewatches and knitting attempts) I mastered this very useful skill of catching the float as I Fair Isle Knit. 😊 This is my first attempt at it and I used only this video to learn. The second technique of catching the float worked best for my knitting style. I look forward to seeing what your other videos can teach me. I am finally working on this Fair Isle Knitting pattern that I've had for 8 years and spent $100 on high quality Nordic wool. Blessings ♥️

That's fabulous news! Happy knitting 🧶

I’m going to conquer this, Hannah! I made the other baby hats, but this one eluded me twice. Lol. Since doing the cowl knit along, I’m to do this! Thank you for your clear and concise videos.

[@KnitWithHannah]

oh, yes! and the baby hat knit-along videos inside the Academy are still available for you to view as you joined in the summer. Happy knitting 🧶

[@margaretmartin6620]

Wow! This is by far the best way to handle floats. Thank you, Hannah! I have just recently found your channel and it has made my life so much easier and pleasant!😀❤

Oh my God Hanna, It’s like competing with a spider! 😵‍💫

[@KnitWithHannah]

No competition here, Raquel - it felt impossible to me when I started knitting with 2 colours. If it's something you'd like to start, , it's same as everything else; one stitch at a time. Happy knitting 🧶

[@raquelt1235]

@@KnitWithHannah Thanks for the encouragement! As a lefty, I learned to crochet from my right-handed mom. I know I will conquer this! 🤨

[@barbararosselot2025]

That’s hilarious! Yes! I agree. Lol!😂

[@lornanormand6963]

i can't even see if there is a purl float catch here. Can you please give the time in the video if it is in there. thanks

[@KnitWithHannah]

I’m not sure, it’s a while since I filmed this. It will likely be in the second half if it’s there. We did it in the knit-along during the summer if you’d like to see it in finer detail: academy.knitwithhannah.co.uk/sg-baby-hats-trio Happy knitting 🧶

[@sandraobrien8705]

Thank you very helpful. My balls always get entangled when I try this. I'll try using the first method.

[@KnitWithHannah]

So glad this has been helpful! Happy knitting 🧶

[@margaretmartin6620]

Just to clarify, the second method was the one I was using and found it annoying. Your first method is brilliant.

Glad it helped! Happy knitting 🧶

Any tips for people with arthritis who still want to carry on sitting but don't have very supple fingers

[@KnitWithHannah]

As someone who's struggled with knitting in the las few months, I will be returning to larger needles and yarn, so they're easier to handle. In the past I've also dabble with a bit of weaving when knitting hasn't been possible, it's still letting me play with yarn, but uses different finger movements.

[@Denis1983]

Good video.

Glad you enjoyed it Happy knitting! 🧶
