HOW TO KNIT ON CIRCULAR NEEDLES VIDEO

[@noviceknittingmom]

thank you for all your videos on youtube, I started watching them a month ago and now I am hooked on knitting. I recommend your videos to all my knitting friends!

[@MusicFreak6893]

i desperately needed this channel lol. i learned to knit when i was younger but i've never tried to make anything other than scarves and blankets till now and ur videos have been rly helpful! thanks so much!

[@PalaKalola]

I saw about four or five other videos on this technique and your video was the most articulately and clearly presented. Thank you!

[@burlesqueboy1940]

Thanks Judy, Knitting in the round has always had me stumped but you made that easy to understand and easily followable!

[@theapasithea3733]

Thank you so much! I have been all over youtube looking for this . All the other 'knitting in the round' videos talk more than they knit. You however, get straight to the point and have great video quality. Leaving me with more time to knit :) Knittingtipsbyjudy IS #1

[@sheiladozier5264]

Thank You Thank You. My brain went completely dead in trying to cast on stitches with the long tail method and then I found you. You've also taught me what to do with the tail on circular needles (include it in first 3 stitches of the 2nd round). You are silmply wonderful and you're in my favorites. I also have your email address right up on my board. You are truly a godsend. Thank You Miss Judy.

[@MamaPalma]

This was the best instructional video for circular knitting. Thank you.

[@LimeBugLove]

Cheers, Judy. All the videos I've seen showing you how to do this make it look harder than it is. Perfect for a novice like me. :)

[@purplemonsterr]

i hadn't knitted in a while and forgot how to knit in the round, and none of my books explained it well enough. thank you for making an easy to follow tutorial! my hat came out great! :)

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

I'm happy to hear that my video helped you and that your hat came out well. I hope you keep knitting more and havie fun doing it. Please like me on my facebook page.

[@vorpal22]

I'm a beginner who just struggled his way through two scarves and wants to try knitting a beanie / toque on circular needles, and I have to say that your videos have been invaluable to me. Thanks so much!

[@BeStrixed]

Judy, I FINALLY *got it*!!! Thank you so much :^) !! It took trial and error (like anything!) and just "doing it." Thanks for the video which is invaluable to "knit along." I sat here and knitted along with you and it's working, Ha! Now...how to bind off of this thing, lol. I'm off to hunt for a binding off. Thanks again so much for youir generosity and graciousness in helping. Cheers! ;^)

[@historianKelly]

Oh, ok, watching it a second time helped tremendously. I didn't understand what you were doing with the tail the first time, you're just ktog the tail and yarn 3 k instead of having to weave it in later. Smart! I also noticed, unlike some of the other tutorials (I watch yours 1st, then others to see if I missed something, then yours again because that's how I'm going to do my work), you didn't cast on so your needles were completely overcrowded. I just want to practice, not make anything yet. I've never used a stitch holder before, either, so this is new territory for me. Thanks for making it simpler!

[@MyassWins]

That looks SO much easier than what I saw in the past! It kept doing something where you pulled the yarn separate half way down, then start from the middle and I don't even know. I decided to shelf my circular needles because I found DPNs to be easier! Now I can pull the circular ones back down :>

[@OloveMeowiesCreations-63945]

You demonstrated how to join the stitches very clearly! Thank you soo much! So many videos and directions seem to assume the knitter knows certain aspects of techniques and leaves the learner in frustration and lost. You actually show and explain the steps clearly and I cannot thank you enough! I will definitely direct others to your page and yes I am subscribed. I also love that you knit Continental style. Smiles, Blessings and Joy! :D :D :D :D :D :D

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

Thank you for the lovely comment. And, thank you for directing others to my page. Have fun knitting.

[@Denyel007]

Very Nice Video! It was a little fast, but after watching it a few times and practicing and pausing when I needed to I was able to get the hang of it pretty easily! Thank You!

[@msgyspy]

I've been trying to figure this out for years (I'm an entirely self-taught knitter) and every time I watched someone's video or read a book it made no sense to me. Your video appears to have worked. I get it now. Thanks. BTW, I second the request for a dbl pointed needles video. You did so well explaining this, I'm sure you can clear up dbl pnt needles for me!

[@brandwatkins]

Your videos are the BEST. They are easy to follow and learn from :) Thanks!

[@Donnular]

I usually have to look around a lot for a clear video when I'm learning something new, but this one was very simple, so thanks for that!

[@lifewater1984]

Judy I love your videos you have helped me to learn to knit ...a dream I"ve had since I was little!! I always look for your videos when I have a question about knitting. Thanks so much again for all your help:-)

[@aerynsage]

Now it totally makes sense. I'm learning to knit (been crocheting since I was a little girl. Never really learned how except to cast on.) Made a knitted slipper but didn't seem to have come out right. I only have straight needles. I'm going to have to get circular ones. Thank you!

[@lauriewilkinson]

Judy, thank you so much ~ again, you are a life-saver. :) Your tips, videos, and instruction are invaluable! I find I go to them again, and again.

[@addievideo]

Great video, made my first attempt at knitting on a circular needle go without any mishaps!! Too bad I had issues when I switched to double ended needles! Your video was perfect - thanks for having it!

[@squishypumpkincat]

You make it look so easy! :p I am a beginner, and your demo has really helped. Thank you!

[@savannahsullivan2794]

Great tips! I went to the knitting store today to buy yarn and they recommended I find this video. Thanks.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

Thank you and thank them (the knitting store). Where was that? I hope you're having fun knitting. Please like me on my facebook page if you haven't already.

[@Oraicia]

Well....I can't wait to buy my first pair of circular needles now! I always thought it would be waaay harder than this. Thanks!

[@MiaCulpa]

Judy you are a goddess! Thank you so much for explaining things so completely and slowly! :D I'm a very new knitter and your videos are the BEST! I've learned so much from you. Your channel is my 'go to place' when I'm ready for a new trick. Again, thank you so very much! :D

[@BilliesCraftRoom]

Hi Judy Thanks so much for this video. I just bought a pattern to make gloves and it suggested using circular needles. I've never tried them before. Everyone says how hard circular needles are to use, thanks for a clear video that makes them seem less scary for a newbie. Best wishes Billie :)

[@Monklin]

Thank you very much for this video! I've been trying to learn how to circular knit, but the book that I borrowed from a friend was to complicated for me! This helped me a lot! :)

[@tashamia]

best circular knitting video i've seen. you make it look so easy :-)

[@littleduckiesocks]

Thank you so much! This made knitting on circular needles seem so easy! I am excited to go and make me a hat now. Thank you!

[@icucingme]

what a good tip on what to do with the tail, I have 2 books on circular knitting and not neither mentioned that! Thanks

[@wizuss8464]

@knittingtipsbyjudy Just started one, actually. I finally bought some circular needles a few days ago. It's a hat for my son. I started it on my bamboo needles and then transferred to the round and started knitting. By far the biggest bonus for me is the time-saver of not having to switch to purl - knitting is faster for me:)

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

Thanks for your kind words. Circular needles come in different lengths. I'd use a long needle....36 inches. You should be able to find it easily in a yarn store or on line. Good luck and happy knitting.

[@DulceN]

Thank you! I always used straight needles and needed to learn how to use the circular type to knit socks. It looks easy enough. :)

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

I hope you're enjoying knitting on a circular needle. Please subscribe to my youtube channel. Happy knitting!

[@FeloniousAngel]

Thank you! This is the best instructional video I've seen for this subject. Very clear :)

[@KasC31]

I've started with straight needles for making only scarf. Though I just tried to find a hat pattern for a friend and found another way of making it without the seam using this kind of needle. Despite all the explanation, I still had quite little idea about how this kind of thing works. Your video just makes it easier to start :D I'll keep up learning how to use this. Thanks a lot! X]

[@Tsatsayka]

Thanks so much for this video, now I can make the hat portion of the hat-scarf for my mother's Christmas gift :D I've only used my one pair of circular needles for flat knitting before, so I had no idea how to join the cast-on row!

[@hiddeninthesnowwe]

I bought myself these same needles yesterday and came home to realize it wasn't as intuitive as I'd thought, lol. Thank you so much for the help!

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

+Snowy Aftermath I hope you've gotten comfortable knitting on circulars. Please like me on my facebook page.

[@wizuss8464]

Thank you for helping me wrap my head around this technique. Today, hats, tomorrow, mittens!! :)

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

I would suggest using them as you would straight needles. Knit across and purl back for stockinette stitch. Knit every row for garter stitch. Or, use any stitch you want. You could make a blanket or something else large and it would work beautifully. Good luck and happy knitting.

[@clomojo87]

Thanks for the reassuring videos!! Just needed to check my circular needle logic was correct before I gave it a go! Thanks for the help!

[@colleenrose5355]

Thank you so much Judy, I've been searching for a video that would show me what to do with the string and how to hide it. I'm also looking for a video on how to do a rib stitch for the beginning of a hat.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@hikikimonkey so glad this video helped you. circular knitting is easier than it looks, once you get the hang of it.

[@frikinWashingMachine]

excellent video!!you explain very good and very quick JUST what we should do!!bravo!!!

[@Oraicia]

@knittingtipsbyjudy Yep! I started knitting a toque on my circular needles, as well as a pair of socks on the dpns I bought. I absolutely love them.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@Wizuss I totally agree about not having to switch to purl. Glad you're doing well with it. Thanks.

[@edelwinful]

I love knitting so you are my idol.Thank for all your videos

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@alisosia you can use straight needles, but the pattern will change as far as decreases, etc. also, you will have to sew a seam to join it.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

Glad I could help. How did the project work out?

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@Wizuss glad my video helped. have you finished any projects yet? please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@lyteyz glad the video worked for you. have fun knitting. please keep watching and look for me on facebook.

[@CrochetBallerina]

Thank you! so much. :) I tried it yesterday and i came out perfect. thx. :D never thought of that. lol

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@enoughtoknow thanks. glad you liked it.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@FullArius yes. When you knit in the round you just knit every row for stockinette stitch.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@nikkifrank1823 if you think it;s too bulky don't use the method of knitting both yarns for 3 stitches. Usually it looks fine,. Yes, when working with 3 colors you should carry the yarn up the inside. There are always exceptions to every rule. Happy knitting!

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

Great idea for a video. I'll try to do one soon. Meanwhile, just knit off as many stitches as you want, evenly, on each of 3 needles and proceed knitting in the round.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@icucingme glad you found that tip helpful. so much easier than having to weave it in at the end. please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@rodawgy hope you're on your way now and enjoying it. glad I was of help. please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.

[@lesleyrogerson3020]

Looks quite easy to follow will try this. Thankyou

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

glad I could be of help. congratulations on making your amazing scarf.

[@michellebolt4170]

thank you so much for making it easy to see how to do,, Now I can knit a snood for my daughter.

[@satusamaus]

I love your videos Judy!!!

[@kawaiiushii]

@knittingtipsbyjudy i did but the in thumb method i couldnt join (it was like as if im knitting with straight needles) but who knows maybe iv done it the wrong way by the way id like to thank you for always replying no matter how silly my questions are...some people dont reply to comments so...thank you very much ^^

[@arialthefont]

Thanks so much, You make it look easy, I can't wait to get to the store and get my needles :-)

[@endospore1]

That was extremely useful, I was wondering if you have a 80cm circular needle would that effect the circumference of the hat?

[@Paikeseratas]

This is a bit silly, but I always wondered what are knitting markers for!:))) Now I know:) Great video!

[@dancingbutterflies94]

Hi Judy! Thanks so much for all yor lovely videos! They are really great for a beginner like me! Just wanted to ask, so is the first stitch the one before or after the marker? I'm having a hard time following a pattern...

[@nina7447]

Great instructions. I'm new to knitting so what would be the best thing to knit with these type of knitting needles? Thank you

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

keep watching, keep knitting. practice makes perfect.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@PronagePow it's easier to use double pointed needles for small amounts of stitches. otherwise you would use the shortest circular and the magic loop method.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

I'm making some leg warmers too....video will be coming. I'm using circular needles, though you could use dp's if you don't have too many stitches.

[@ibebeddyjvb542]

VERY HELPFUL.... I was at a loss with no one to show me :D

[@alisosia]

@knittingtipsbyjudy - thank you u so much for replying and so quickly - the video was helpful as all your other videos - but my question was if it calls for circular needles ( as in the intructions in the previous message,) can I use streight needles ? Sorry to bother again

[@BluSarahNamaste]

Hi Judy. Thanks so much for uploading all your tips and demos! I am re-teaching myself after a long absence. Can I use a longer circular needle than the pattern suggested 16inch? Will it be more difficult, or simply not work at all? Thanks!

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@ninaroque92 yes, you would end up with a tube. you could stuff it or just leave it empty. have fun knitting.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@BrangerLove glad this helped you. happy holidays!

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

That's great to hear. Please keep watching for new videos and I'd appreciate it if you'd click on the ads. That really helps my standing at Utube. Thanks and happy knitting.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@pingo1387 it's much easier to knit round items in the round. otherwise you will have a seam and the decreases are harder to space. but, it can be done. don't be afraid of circulars though.

[@defaultish]

@knittingtipsbyjudy thanks i figured it out, and i just finished my first hat on a circular needle :)

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@vikkispets thanks for writing such a nice comment. glad the videos are helpful. please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@noviceknittingmom Thank you sooo much. I love getting comments like yours. Please keep watching,,,,so much to learn.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@munificentbolt so glad to hear the video helped you. please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@strawberryfields488 yes, you are knitting a spiral, going round and round, so it is always stockinette. please keep watching and learning. look for me on facebook too.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

thanks for your comment. Glad it helped.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@crochet65 glad the video helped you and hope you found knitting on a circular work out well. please keep watching and look for me on facebook.

[@Chaeley]

I'm going to be studying this video very closely for the next couple of days! XD Thank you so much -- your lessons have been invaluable to me. I couldn't have learned this (or stripes!) without you! Just a quick question -- how long would my circular needles have to be to make a 5x5 throw? I saw some needles at the store, but the line between them seemed to be rather short and the needles themselves quite short. Is that normal, or should I look for longer needles/cord between them?

[@chenille1010]

thank you...your videos are terrific

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

Use whatever you can find. If they are too long use the magic loop method of knitting in the round. You can see a quick demonstration on my fingerless mitts video. I used a needle that way too long for that. good luck

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@littleduckiesocks have you made your hat yet? circular needles aren't hard to work with are they? thanks for writing. glad you liked the video. please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.

[@CreativeAid]

Great video :) keep up the good work

[@glmalvar]

Hi Judy! i love your videos! I am teaching myself to knit so I can eventually create this wave blanket that is made with a 40" circular needle, size 9. I heard form another knitter that I can very well use a 32" circular needle, since she thinks a 40" will be too big. (ending size is 33" by 39") I also can't find larger sized circular needles at the store. The longest one is a 29". Will that be okay for this project? Thanks!

[@CatDezelski]

This was very helpful! thank you!

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

No, the casting on is basically the same. I do have a video on knitting on circular needles and one on knitting on DP needles so you can see the cast on as well as the joining.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@Aly1976 glad it helped you. please keep watching for new videos and look for me on facebook and twitter too. thanks.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@jesslynn1986 thanks for writing. always glad to know the videos are helpful. please keep watching for more. new one on this week and last. and, please look for me on facebook too.

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

@gypsyqueen64 I AGREE. I use my bamboo circular for almost everything. thanks for writing, please keep watching and look for me on facebook too.

[@kimberlilly1127]

I am new to knitting, and when I see these videos on "knitting in the round", can you tell me then, what would be the advantage of the "magic loop", say, when making leg warmers for an infant? As a newbie, it seems the magic loop is more complicated. Also, when using circular ndls. do your cast ons have to fill the length of the cable..can I use only 24 st.s on a 30" circ.ndl. and still knit in the round? thanks KT

[@EJonLam]

hey i was wondering whether castinf of in the round is different than on single point straight needles. if so how? and could you do video explaining this. thanks so much

[@123smaz]

hi, great videos. Im trying to make some leg warmers for my niece, she does ballet. Do you have any pattern? Do you think circular knitting is a good option? Thank you

[@knittingtipsbyjudy]

GLAD IT WORKED OUT. THANKS FOR WRITTNG
