How to Knit: Knitting flat with circular needles

[@Juliezemla]

The ONE video I have been looking for, for an hour! THANK YOU!

[@MollyChristmas]

Thank you SO MUCH! I'm a beginner on circular needles and I was totally lost! Now I think I'm ready to go!

[@itssamiyoutube]

Make sure u don't knit I the round if you making a blanket as if you connet both ul end up with a hat.

[@ruthleggatt7989]

Thanks for such a simple no nonsense video…I now understand how to knit flat on circular needles!

[@sharonwebb945]

THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH! Now I know where I went wrong. I didn’t switch the needles to the left so I was knitting circular instead of flat and ended up having to pull it all undone as I couldn’t un-knit 184 stitches for multiple rows! I’ve learned something by my mistake so thank you for this simple yet super helpful demonstration!

[@bloodiedporcelain6320]

I appreciate how concise your instructions are. Ive been using circular needles exclusively since i started knitting because ive found that straight needles are uncomfortable for my.small hands. I feel like i habe better control over circulars because the needles themselves are smaller. I kept being told i was "doing it wrong" even though every project has turned out fine. Its nice to have a video i can just show people when they try to see you cant knit flat with circulars.

[@sallydickson6193]

Thank-you for posting this, it's been most helpful today as I am working on a jacket that calls for circular needles when knitting the front edges and the neck with over 205 stitches and I gave never done it before - yikes!! But you have helped enormously, so thanks xx

[@lintrans2]

I'm so glad you said, "this is a bit confusing...." !! I have ripped out 1-2 inches of 158 stitches 3 times! Now I know what I did wrong! Thank you so much for your video.

[@xxbabydollxx84]

Thank you, using these for the first time and was a bit confused by them, this is just the info I needed!

[@pammyers1982]

Thank you so much. I put down a project I started 3-4 years ago and forgot how to start again. It was the first time I’d ever used circular needles. It has a repeating section of 8 rows. So glad I stopped on the eighth row before I put it down. Thank you again! 🙂💜💜

[@midlightfair6495]

This is the best tutorial about knitting flat in circular needles! Thanks!

[@carefreedelight2355]

Thanks a million for such a clear tutorial. So kind.

[@anncrosby2094]

Thank you so much been looking for how to do exactly this for hours! Received a scarf knitting kit in mail with these circular needles but have never used them before…feel confident to get it started now thank you! Regards from Ann in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

[@patriciaallen519]

Thank you for this easily explained and demonstrated video. My search has ended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@joanneb4960]

Thank you! This is just what I needed to know.

[@beingnormal1899]

This is amazing thank you! I can’t hold ordinary knitting needles as they hurt my hands so this is the best!

[@sueridge6921]

An easy clear English instruction Thank you😊

[@cherylhennessy9897]

Great video! You've explained this very well. I want to make a blanket but am scared of using circular needles. After watching your video I feel confident that I can do it 😊

[@eilenkatarinalunde2969]

Amazing. Fantastically explained. Thank you so much!

[@liamfan]

Thank you! I’m currently knitting a sweater and it’s way too heavy. This is a HUGE help!

[@itssamiyoutube]

Thanks for this I'm already on circular needles my projet as gone big now making q shawl or blanket I'm only using garter stiches for now as I'm a left hander this video as helped me.

[@KissynnU]

Thank you. I am a new knitter and this was very helpful. :)

[@angieweisswange5873]

Excellent video! Thank you! Especially like the clean look. No fussy nail polish, watches, jewellery etc to distract. Really excellent!

[@FoD1975]

Thank you so much! It’s going to sound really daft to you, probably, but I thought you had to use a straight needle to knit the stitches held on the circular needle, and I was getting into a terrible muddle! 😂 Thanks again x

[@ariannarichardson7713]

Same

[@itssamiyoutube]

Done 4hrs knitting with circluar needles making a blanket I'm a self taught learner and use knitting needles but these are definitely miles better.

[@margaretdorsett6522]

Thank you so much clear and concise. Brilliant .

[@lindamanas6735]

Very clear. Excellent

[@idkwhattomakemyusername7904]

Do I have to worry about right side wrong side things when I do this?

[@juliaparsons556]

Amazing thanks for explaining-I never understood about the circular thing before now

[@maryprowse-flynn7149]

Thank you, thank you ! Perfect explanation!!

[@G_H_0_S_T_G_1_R_L]

Amazing tutorial thank you

[@karengervais6473]

I’m a tucker on straight needles, tucking right needle under my armpit, finding handling circular needles hard to grip with my hands

[@paigevizard732]

Does anyone know if it will still be a flat stitch if the width of what you want to knit (scarf) is longer than the length of the circular needles?

[@doggybarkcc8875]

Can one work flat double knitting on a circular needle ?

[@Bindersandcash19]

many thanks for your video, this is how l normally would knit using straight needles but am confused as have seen people cast on theh right hand needle then turn the needles and hold the wool in the left hand which l cannot do. l want to make a baby blanket using circular needles but don't want my work to join . can you please help. thanks x

[@anhourwithnature7134]

OMG same here I need to knit a baby blanket too

[@cyohe8643]

Thank you!

[@carolfernandez9727]

I'm not familiar with your type of cast on and can't seems to cast on to keep the yarn on the left needle with the tail and working yarn staying together.to start. You cast on so quickly i this video. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help.

You can slow down the speed of the video by pressing on the 3 dots at the top right of the screen & choosing playback speed.

[@heatherbarford1814]

I wanted to know hjow to solve the problem of plain and purl knitting on circular needles this appears to be fast and easy with the plain side but almost impossible to move the stitches along the purl side without straining thumb and fingers and becoming very fustrated at the slowness and difficulty.

[@3Dhyana]

Is the garter stitch the same as straight needles? TY

[@aloneandannoyed]

...is it weird that i do the hand switching with regular needles?

[@chocoboasylum]

It's so simple but I really needed to look up a video to remind me that I can put the empty needle in the other hand at the end of the row 😂

[@lissad4645]

Working on my first project on circular needles (my 3rd project ever). When I switch from knit to purl they stitches are somehow coming out the same. What on earth am I doing wrong? 🤣 Help!

[@anukapoor5369]

Thanks mam iam from india i have no idea how to use round needle easily

[@tianagadsden4843]

More project videos😊! October is almost here. Holiday projects, accessories, etc.

[@pinkishhaven5158]

How do I keep the knots to not tighten? I was trying hard not to pull too much but by my second stitch the needle couldn't fit through 😭

[@woolandthegang]

Hey there, it's all a case of not pulling too tightly on your yarn. Try to knit a little looser. It'll get easier with time and practice 😀

Why you made it fast motion 😢 I can’t follow up

[@heleneschenbacher8512]

Finally someone who shows HOW to knit flat using circular needles. In other videos, the instructor just talks and talks. BTW that is the UGLIEST color I have ever seen! Looks like something left behind in baby diapers--a mustard yellow with green accents!

[@wachamcaulit]

Helen Eschenbacher lol a complement and a critique in one

[@angieweisswange5873]

Known as 'shaki'... Shit and khaki. I love the fancier bronzed olive sounding name!

[@KM-hw1rt]

Wow. What are you so mad about? Who cares if you think it’s ugly?

[@hyrule2008]

Sooo i suppose a beginner, like me, ought to be able to see each movement even though you sped up the movements that are most critical... there is NO WAY i can glow this video at all unless i slow down the video to 25% or i have to pause and unpause every single frame

[@hyrule2008]

*slow NOT glow...

[@cyohe8643]

You can slow down the video by pressing the three dots on the top right of your screen & choosing playback speed.

[@mkelly4617]

That's fine if your left handed

[@TangibleTania]

I just realized that with your cast on you do not have to estimate a long tail cast on. O H M Y G O O D N E S S !

[@awer1014]

SO FAR IT LOOKS EASY FROM THE START... I BET I WILL BE HARD...

[@jenniferking1385]

Can't even tell how you're casting and moving to fast and not instructing how you are moving one side to the other not helpful

[@woolandthegang]

We have a separate tutorial specifically for casting on using this method which is the cable cast on technique. This video is just to demonstrate how to work flat with circular needles, we also have a separate tutorial for garter stitch 💖

[@alyannamuniz5696]

How do you cast on?????? No one will tell how your supposed to cast on, what is the point of making a video if you aren’t going to explain how to do it??

[@autumnfox8181]

DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO CAST ON WHEN USING CIRCULAR NEEDLES FOR THE FIRST TIME AND YOU IMMEDIATELY FREAKIN FAST FORWARD YOUR VIDEO SO YOU CANT EVEN SEE HOW TO DO IT? GTFOH.

[@miaoumotherfrukers1332]

You don’t have to be so rude, just find another video that will explain it.

[@Blahblahblahblahhhhh]

you should probably use straight needles, circular needles are a more advanced technique. Start with the basics then come back to this...learn to walk before you run

[@jnelsin4677]

@@Blahblahblahblahhhhh I’ve always found circular easier personally

[@amyhopkins524]

Or just make the playback slower in settings so you can watch it slowly.

[@heatherbarford1814]

Why dont you cast on with ordinary needles then transfer them over this seems to work. I wonder whether a lot has to do with the type of material needles are made from plastic is more flexible but breaks. Steel is quite hard to use I haven't tried bamboo yet has anyone else found it more flexible. My grandmother had old fashioned circular needles that looked like stainless steel and the stitches went onto a multi-wire the same thickness she knitted very successfully with these for 20 years then with all the flexing the wires started to break where they were welded onto the stainless steel points for a while she kept removing a wire thread at a time and that area got thinner and thinner then she decide her best bet was to go out and buy another pair. I actually inherited them lent them to someone who never returned them.

[@TammyLewis-i2h]

Your going way to fast. I’m trying to learn how to cast stitches on but speeding the video up how can someone see how to do the stitch properly?? Smh! Not helpful AT ALL!!

[@Tinalixv3]

I did not understand this and this was not helpful in anyway

[@christinewebster4639]

omg you are going too fast
