How To Decrease A Ribbed Hat

[@sy2.083]

First of all this is very smart, and looks very neat but what if u have more than six rounds for your decrease and do u need to have plain rows in between in that case?

Never mind my question. I should have watched the entire video before asking. This was a HUGE help!! Thank you!!

Hi! Thank you for this video. Would this decreasing pattern work on straight needles?

[@handylittleme]

For ribbing yes, it should work,

@@handylittleme I am knitting a k2 p2 hat right now, and this video is extremely straightforward. Thank you again!

Hi, if u were making a 2 x 2 hat, how did u have 1 stitch left over? Xxx

Thanks

I’m confused about how you did the “other side.” I’m using circular needles with a stitch marker… I went all the way around doing k2 and p2t…. Now that I’m back at my stitch marker, what do I do now?

You do the next round. Starts at 4:22. The "other side" thing was because she's using the magic loop method, where you split the circle into two halves. The "other side" is the second half of the round.

Can I follow this decrease method with a single rib beanie?

[@handylittleme]

Hello, no that would be different because of the 1x1 ribbing.

I sometimes switch to a nine inch cir… I hate DPN’s…
