Improved Magic Loop Technique

[@RubyCrockettsolitude]

Such a relief to have a sincere, practical tutorial without distractions in the background.

[@kikizag]

This is the MOST PERFECT TUTORIAL about magic loop. Love this and now I know how to knit my sleeves without that awful and annoying gap.😅 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for you Mr. Frank.

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

You are so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful.

[@ambreeniramahmad8315]

Now I know it's called "Travelling Magic Loop".A great technique taught, very clearly.

[@ksymenabasinska5679]

Thank you very much for explaining this improved knitting technique so meticulously for us! :) Your skillful teaching makes the problems we are facing easier to understand, which is a hallmark of a great teacher.

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

You are so welcome! You are so kind to say that.

[@caronfrench4683]

Brilliant! As a beginner to the magic loop you will never know how much I appreciate this technique, thank you!

[@kathspedding593]

I don't usually leave comments but was so pleased to have come across this video. The method is so easy but so effective. Thank you.

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

You're very welcome!

[@frodegjerlow]

this is a fantastic video. So good that you're going through the different beginner's strategies, so people don't make the same mistakes as each other. You're literally saving the world thousands of hours of headaches. Well done!

[@clairejohnson4797]

WOW!! I'll be saving this video. Brilliant.

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

Thanks!

[@ginakendrick2581]

Yes me as well

[@clc1302]

I’m telling you this is brilliant! It solves so many issues! Increases, decreases, color work! I’ve researched so many places and have never seen this solution. I can’t thank you enough!

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

You are so welcome!

[@everlyn101]

this video saved my knitting!! I was having SUCH a hard time with tension right at the gap and was considering just switching back to dpns (even though I wanted to learn magic loop). Your method completely fixed my problems and I find it so much easier to knit now. THANK YOU so much!!!

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

You are so welcome!

[@nathaliet1021]

i don't usually comment, but i gotta say this is the only video that provided a clear solution for fixing my tension issues. other videos were like "your tension is too loose or too tight". thank you for posting this and helping me improve my knitting!

[@kclarke2971]

Oh this is a joy to watch. I've wanted to do magic loop for years. My efforts have been futile. I end up with the working yarn in the center, taking everything apart and been in near tears, swearing I'll never try again. I love the 4 stitch move over method. Thank you so very much.

[@jand7782]

Extremely helpful. A true "aha" moment for me, and what a difference it has made in my knitting! Thank you.

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

You are so welcome!

[@ferozagovender5265]

Wow, I hit like on this video, then went ahead and tried it. Had to come back and comment.. I've tried magic loop before and always got ladders, this method is perfect. Thank you!!

[@janbricca495]

Brilliant! i was just having that problem - with the 2 last stitches being too tight. I kept trying to redistribute the tension on every turn. Can't wait to try this. Thank you, Phrancko! And your instructions are so clear!

[@mike1why]

So simple and completely obvious after the fact. Thank you! 😊 Just start the turn with 4 stitches on the needle rather than empty.

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

Yep, it's as simple as that! I'm glad you found this helpful.

[@Nanderson1964]

That’s brilliant too!

[@stacypayton5809]

Thank you!! I am a DPN knitter because I just can’t get the hang of magic loop with circular needles. I just started a new project today and tried magic loop, disgustedly started over again DPN because of exactly what you have described! I will now try your method. Thank you so much for explaining!!!

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

You're welcome. I hope this helps you as much as it has me.

[@nicolekennan188]

My first time to use magic loop! You’ve made it so easy for me. Thank you!

[@arlenebaratta]

I could just hug you to pieces! I was struggling so much with the magic loop! I couldn't hold all the stuff I needed to at the start of each half and the ladders drove me insane! This way is PERFECT!!!! It's more natural to hold, work, and NO LADDERS WHATSOEVER!!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

[@lindaknowles1261]

Just attempted the magic loop method and watched a couple of vids. I love your solution for the tension problem and I will be using the 4 stitch solution. So glad I found this from the start. Looking forward to watching more of your KZbin videos. Thank you so much 😊

[@vapinggaming]

Thank you for this. You perfected what the magic loop was "meant" to be- seamless.

[@lauriewatts4527]

I hate using DPNs. The magic loop works better for me but still leaves unsightly “ladders”. This technique of making a second loop is absolutely fantastic! I thought it would be troublesome making the second loop but it’s not and any trouble would be well worth it to achieve the great results! Thank you, thank you thank you!

[@LIVEINPEACE2023]

I ❤ DPNs. It looks so intricate that I feel like a knitting queen! 😝

[@nicolekennan188]

First time I’ve used magic loop - so easy to follow. Thank you!

[@robindavis5131]

These suggestions are brilliant. I've watched countless magic loop videos, but was never able to find a solution to the tight, sloppy or laddered columns. Thank you!!!

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

Great to hear!

[@Belenshares]

I am on my first ever beanie hat. This is what I have been instinctively doing for the brim, not exactly at four stitches but kind of randomly. I kept thinking how to go about to avoid ladders when I got to the decreases in the crown, which is how I came to your video. Thank you so much for teaching me how!

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

Yes, four stitches is not absolute, just a suggestion. I often transfer a different number, especially if I am working stranded colorwork or a cable occurs at that point. Transfer as many stitches as you need to be able to work the next stitch normally.

[@lennypearl]

This is so simple, how could no one have come up with it before??? This is ingenious, and I think would make my stranded socks come out soooo much better! Thank you for sharing your technique ☺

[@ianwalsh6864]

I've been struggling with ladders using magic loop and cotton yarn. I have just used this method on a beanie in wool with a repeat lace pattern and it works brilliantly. It was a 8 stitch repeat so I left 8 stitches on the needle instead of 4. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheCompleteGuitarist]

Genius. Sorry but I knew there was some 'magic' solution to this such as slipping stitches and here it is! Thank you.

[@filoszsnz]

Best advice ever!! This technique rapidly improved my knitting results. Many many thanks!

[@kathylindner3888]

I am so excited to see your technique! I've been struggling learning, so will try this tonight. Thank you!

[@donnamontgomery545]

I've been knitting for years but tried magic loop for the first time today.I didn't like the laddering but I must admit yours is the best I've seen so I'll give it another try.Thank you

[@bonniejune6814]

Genius! After years of knitting I only learned magic loop today from KZbin. It seemed so time consuming and I was really struggling to push those stitches up the needle when switching sides. Your method is so easy and seemed to just fly in comparison to regular method. I even timed myself and on a 37 stitch row it was 30 seconds quicker. That really adds up. Thank you!!

[@carolr4871]

Pure genius! I'm learning your technique right while I'm in the middle of knitting a baby hat, in the round of course. Thank you so much for this, Frank!

[@JudieLynnChisholm]

Brilliant! That was the one thing that continued to bug me when using the magic loop technique. Like all ideas so simple you wonder why you hadn't thought of it before. Many thanks for sharing.

[@abeiradapraia]

I was doing Magic Loop for a sweater collar, but ran into the “too loose ends” problem. I’m grateful to have found this early in my sweater making! I will start over using this technique! Thank you so much!

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

You are so welcome!

[@AnnArnoldMFT]

Phrancko, all I can say is... mind blown and you made magic loop work for me. I was determined to try it again as my previous attempts were full of ladders and look crappy. So I had resigned myself to dp needles. I watched and rewatched KZbin videos, and the I found yours and ... Hooray! Love it and thanks so much! You've got a new subscriber!

[@ginapowell223]

Thank you. I just knitted a sleeve on a sweater and it has that crease I think I'm going to frog it and do it your way. THANKS AGAIN.

[@feyannheim7790]

AWESOME! I have been using magic loop for years but always have been super careful when moving from one needle to the other. This is perfect! Thank you 😊

[@ruthstubens3812]

Brilliant solution! I've done this with DPNs and two circulars, but hadn't thought to do it in magic loop! Thank you for this!

[@wdbreezy]

I knit done with my mother as a child, but had forgotten everything but the basics. I figured cuff down magic loop socks would be a great place to start. Ughh! I’ve started, torn out and started a dozen times. Your tutorial for the four stitch loop clicked with me and I’m almost done with the cuff now. Thank you 🙏🏻 so much, Frank !! I’m now subscribed to your channel.

[@carolynhughes65]

Total game changer. Thank you so much for sharing this as have struggled so much in the past with ladders or loose or tight stitches in my projects. Will be using this method all the time now 🙏😊

[@n0tgirl007]

This is so helpful! So often I needed to switch from a knit to a purl and struggled trying to make sure my yarn was correctly positioned. Now there’s no guessing. Thank you!!

[@MusicRepo]

This is brilliant! Thanks. I am new to magic loop, so took quite a bit of practice to get to grips with that, and this at the same time. But now I have, it's awesome. A knitting superpower 😃

[@jenniferaashiem6165]

Thank you for this! I gave up on magic loop because I could not find a video that addressed that issue at all and I was at my wit’s end with having those two tight stitches preventing me from being able to easily slide the stitches on to the new needle. You are a life saver and I can’t wait to give your method a try!

[@lynnhoglin1373]

I'm making infant tube socks, and just learned magic loop, was very frustrated with uneven tension with joining stitch. Thank you so very much ❤ for removing the frustratiin. Your a great teacher.

I am brand new to the magic loop. I tried several attempts watching other videos. I gave up and ordered dpn's. They arrived yesterday. Now seeing your tutorial l think l can "get" it.

[@hippuvideo]

There's so many thanks here already but I just have to add my own because this video solves the problem I've been facing for quite a while. This method allows me to knit fair isle patterns in my socks without the annoying result of a gap between the change of the double pointed needles and especially when you start a new row. As has been told here in the comments too I just mark the start of new row and follow the pattern from my chart. It's so nice that I only have to twist the yarns when knitting extra long set of stitches with the same color and not at the end of every row. I am so happy about this. Thank you!

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

I'm so glad it helped!

[@bridgettekennedy3918]

This is a great idea. I've tried it with two, but agree 4 would be best. Thank you for this video. Very informative!

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

You are so welcome!

[@1GoodWoman]

Thank you. I have seen this done the first way and without fully understanding the precise glitch I somehow realized that there would be problems. I did buy exact size needles for a pumpkin project for my charity work but do have many needles with large loops so I will try this. Sometimes the simple things are the hardest to fix. Years ago after setting up our first tower desktop computer myself and getting all the hardware and cables connected I could not figure out how to turn it on and those very early directions did not show the power button! Eventually I called the company tech line, feeling like a total idjiot. Those were the days the companies still had help desks. Now You Tube is my help desk! Happy to find you. Will try on my next pumpkin.

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

I'm glad it was helpful. I had a similar experience recently. I ordered a product and the box was covered with instructions but none of them told how to OPEN the box. It was ridiculously difficult to get the product out of the box! LOL

[@damselfish1414]

Just adding to the chorus of thank yous. I have watched several Magic Loop videos where I could not figure out at all what they were doing. In the first few minutes of this you gave a far better demonstration of the basic technique than any others I have seen, even before considering your improvement on it. Now I can finish my hat, hopefully without frogging the whole crown for the third time.

I do it this way all the time. It never made sense to me the “traditional” way. Good for you to show others!

[@shelleyn.8503]

Jane, when using a marker to mark the beginning of each row, would you move it four stitches each time, or would you slip marker and then do your four stitches? Thanks.

[@jsorensens2]

@@shelleyn.8503 I attach a removable marker to the right leg of the first stitch so it’s never actually slid across needles. After 5 or 6 rows I move it up closer to the needle so I can see it better. You can then manipulate the stitches on your needle and never lose your marker.

[@shelleyn.8503]

@@jsorensens2 thank you. I have a tendency to pull my stitches too tight and then have trouble sliding them onto my needle. I will try your tip.

OMG. Thank you! This is how I’ve been doing Magic Loop on my own. Then I watched probably 15 videos of “How to Do Magic Loop” all doing it the first way you showed. I wondered if I was doing something wrong or creating some problem even though my sleeves look great. Now I’ll continue to do it the second way you showed. It is the only way that make sense to me.

[@viviano1051]

Thank you. I've seen this method called Traveling Magic Loop in other videos.

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

Your comment has sent me on a very interesting KZbin journey. I think "Traveling Loop" would be an excellent name for this technique and I had not heard that name before. So I did a search for "traveling loop knitting" on KZbin and found a bunch of videos that say they are describing "travelling loop." The first five of the videos are not describing this technique at all. Here they are: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXmrhI2Hjtqsb7M kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6G1q5Wind-SbJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnbGYXVtntqSiLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/babaomqXbLeahZo kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXKrg5qirr2bprM All of those videos are describing a version of magic loop that uses only a single loop, rather than the usual two loops for magic loop. The single loop "travels" all around the cable needles from the left needle around to the right needle, hence the name. They then start the round again by knitting across the divide where the back stitch is resting on the cable. That's the problem my technique is solving. With this technique you never have to guess the tension of the loop left on the cable. There was only one video that I found that describes a similar technique to the technique I describe here and called it "traveling loop". It is this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4SpqpKFf7lgpsU And such is the problem with naming. As much as I would love to call this technique "traveling loop," it appears another technique has essentially claimed that name. In the technique I describe in this video, whether you are doing magic loop with one loop or two, it is the gap between rounds (or half rounds) that travels around the stitches. The focus is not on the loop traveling at all. Maybe we should call this technique "the traveling gap magic loop"? Or just call it magic loop know that there is a better way of starting each round.

[@LilMissWampyre]

Just learned the magic loop method and tried it today. No kidding about the tight sts. Killer! As a beginner, this will help me tremendously. Thank you!

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@courag1]

There is a kit made by ChiaoGoo in a blue pouch and these are interchangeable circulars which are shorter tips than their regular needles which these full kits are available as 5” and 4”. The Blue kit has needles which are 3” and 2”. The kit comes with cables of 5”, 6” and 8”. One can also get 2” additional cords so one can make the equivalent of FlexiFlips. The screw threads are the same as for the small cables of the full kit and there are double ended adapters which allow one to virtually then make whatever size cable would be necessary. If one gets into an in between spot, making up 3 needles with the 2” joins in between can make the awkward parts easier to do. So long as you have your leading needles you are knitting with at gauge, the trailing needles can be any size smaller. If doing 3 needles, there are then two which are 3” and one which is 2” but since they are the same diameter join as the full kit, I have 4” needles as my hands are smaller than a man’s hands and I can work with 4”, then down to 3” then down to 2” to be able to make the sleeve taper. ChiaoGoo’s kit isn’t cheap but if you are only knitting with a certain size needle, you can get that size in a kit with 2 tips at 3” length and 2 tips at the 2” length. These come with one 5” cable and one 6” cable. If you are working two circulars, it is all you need really. If you need the 8” cable, the one from the larger full kit works too. This allows ones total flexibility and good quality knitting. I have grand children and it works on their hats and sock and have the Red Lace kit in the red pouch for doing socks. I just love them. I like knitting in the small tube better when I can as there it makes an absolutely smooth knitted tube. If one is doing ribbing or cables, the two circular needle method or making up the equivalent of Flexi-Flips can be done if you gets the additional 2” adapters which come in a bad of 3 for both the Red lace mini join or the small in the blue cable. These days to knit, yes, takes some investment, but I’d rather buy the tools I need and buy on sale yarn than sit in a psychiatrists office. Knitting is splendid mental therapy for finding that place of peace in heart. Thank you for your splendid video.

I had this issue when I first learned magic loop, my LYS told me to pull tighter, then I got that big line you talked about, after a few months of not being happy with that line not blocking out, I did exactly what you showed us, I have been doing it now for years and I am happy with my knitted items, so glad you made this video to show others. I had ladders when I was using DPNs and learned to move the stitches around there too. I move my stitches around periodically too as I have dexterity issues, which affects my tension sometimes. Love that you shared this as so many ppl get stuck in "the way it should be", relax and happy knitting I say. Great video!

This has bugged me for years and no matter what I did, nothing worked. So I searched again as I'm doing sleeves again and SO happy I found this. It's working so well!

[@rodneyferris4089]

I love this method. I started using it for learning my sock knitting. I started of with such terrible ladders! The only odd thing I find with this method is sticking to 4 stitches when your work is so based on 8 ! I've found that to keep my markers in place where I don't have to go searching all over for them when they "jump off" the needle is to vary the pick up. 5 stitches help because it breaks the monotony of 4 which ultimately ends up always on a marker. So that's my suggestion for those sock knitters that would like to use this method but find it confusing while knitting socks. It is essential that you use markers of you do and to track your decreases somehow. Thanks again Phrancko!

[@KnittingbyPhrancko]

I'm so glad you found it helpful. And you're right, there is nothing that says you must use four stitches. I often use more if I am working cables or colorwork and come to a place where four stitches would break the pattern at an inappropriate place, like in the middle of a cable or a partial block of color that is being stranded across. And I describe using markers to keep track of the beginning of round in my addendum to this video, which you might want to watch if you haven't already found it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXubaGeIa62Wf6c

[@evatua9315]

So so brilliant! Thank you so much for this! I am a beginner but been playing with magic loop and it seemed "ok" managing the tension issues you mention until recently I tried to knit herringbone stitch with magic loop and it was sooo difficult getting the tension right as I had to slip only one stitch and move the remaining at each turn to the other needle, so got stuck in a project. This fixes the issue completely!!!! I will try tomorrow...hopefully it will be my last swatch and practice round so I can do it properly! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had learned from someone else recently to switch the position of the turn moving the loops around, but not the way you show to solve the tension issues! I am beyond thrilled to have found your video!
