Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. I've tried to begin this hat at least three times and ripped it out each time. I think trying magic loop (I'm not a magic loop knitter, but I can) was just too much new stuff for me. I watched your videos and did the pinhole cast on using dpns - 3 of them to hold sts as you suggested, and it WORKED!! I've not increased and moved to a 16 inch circular. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I will knit more of these beautiful hats!

I'm with you, I can knit magic loop, but I much prefer dpns, too, because they just feel better and give better results, because they divide the sections perfectly for all of the increase rows without the need for markers, and my tension is so much easier to control. Magic loop just feels much too fiddly, in comparison.

I made a mini musselburgh for my last granddaughter for the hospital using 2 20 gram minis it was the hit of the hospital 😁 just finished another for her brother due in 6 weeks

Thats wonderful. Im curious how many stitches you have at most in order to fit a baby

@catherinesnider5144 8 ай бұрын

@@susanrodway6203 hi I used a size 2 needle magic loop to start used baby size in pattern with 8 stitches per inch so I ended up with 24 in each section after increases done I was able to go to a US size 2 12 inch needle and whip it out fairly quickly. I weighed the yarn before starting and what it was right after my increases so I’d know when to decrease on the 2nd 20 gram mini.

Thank you for all the work you did figuring out the stitch counts and making the charts. I'm now on my third Musselburgh. This one is helix stripes. I have trouble keeping track of whether I'm on an increase round or not, so I just do spiral increases (4 every round) and decreases, and I find the charts invaluable. It still amazes me that something that looks like a big floppy tube gets transformed into a perfectly proportioned hat!

Thanks so much for making this video. It’s really helpful as I could not understand what was meant by skimming the stitches inside. Very clear now, and hopefully the rest of my Musselburgh hats will have neater ends. Great pattern!

I’m on my fifth Musselburgh hat. I’ve knit two for myself. One each for my partner and son and this 5th one is for my grandson. Love the pattern and will be knitting more in the future. Thank you for your pattern and helpful tutorials.

I've made 10 and, after seeing this episode, I am ready to cast on another with a skein of Murky Depths yarn I got on a recent trip. It's such a great hat. Thanks, Ysolda!

Thank you for this simply flexible and great pattern! It's my favorite on-the-go pattern and such a great one for gifts. I'm only on my 3rd one but know there will be future Mbs. I appreciate the version 3 with the description and measurements in order to be creative and make use of stash yarns. 😊

I've knit one fingering weight Musselburgh and have two more waiting in my queue for Christmas gifts one in fingering and one in worsted. The worsted one I fear will be too warm for NY City but that's what my son chose. Thank you for such a fun pattern!

I knitted a solid + striped half version and because I did not want a folded brim, I opted for one knit row where the transition is before continuing to knit the other half. It folded nicely and stayed put.

Thank you for the boot in the pants, I didn't finish the last one, I was ok in the end with the cast on and the crown increases but the issue I had was the crown just kept going out more and more and never dropped down, almost like a round table cloth. You have inspired me to do another one and keep at it. I have some self striping sock yarn that I can use. I love a challenge and I would call this a challenge. Thank you again, take care and Happy Designing.

You do have to eventually stop the increases. According to your guage and the pattern...

@ysoldateague 8 ай бұрын

It will eventually turn into a tube if you trust the numbers in the pattern and keep knitting. It takes a few inches past the last increase round before it’s really hat shaped and not a circle though

Hi, Ysolda. I'm knitting my first Musselburgh. I see why people have fallen in love with the pattern, and I really appreciate your tutorials on getting started and finishing the hat. It took me a number of tries to get the disappearing loop cast-on down, and the tutorial was a lifesaver. Random question: The blue sweater you're wearing in this tutorial is gorgeous. Could you share the pattern, yarn and color? (I did check your Ravelry pages but didn't find it.) I realize that with 16,000-plus followers, you likely don't have time for questions like this, but, either way, many thanks!

Would you consider adding some type of ponytail hole for those with long hair? I always have trouble figuring out what to do with my hair while wearing hats like these - sticking it all inside the hat makes for a giant head :), but hair out and by the neck really gets in the way.

@carolmelancon 5 ай бұрын

I'm thinking you could leave the cast-on ring open on each end. If that wasn't a large enough opening for the ponytail of the intended recipient, you could start with more stitches in the cast-on, then jump ahead to the part of the pattern that matches the stitch count you decided to start with. Just be sure to jot a note on the pattern to remind you to prepare to end with the same stitch count at the end.

@carolmelancon 5 ай бұрын

I can't comment on the origin of Musselburgh, but having traveled to Edinburgh, I heard the city pronounced "eh' din bruh" by the inhabitants. The ending is closer to a shortened "borough" of say Queensborough, than the "burg" of Pittsburgh.

@robyartist1 Ай бұрын

I purchased the pattern. New to ravelry & downloading things. On the custumization page there are two blue boxes on the bottom. Are they to download when clicked on them? Nothing happens when I do. Also, I don't know how to get it into the library in ralvery. It's as if I didn't purchase it.
