    This is so good! Beginner knitter here, about a week in. I’ve only made two scarves but I love love love your work and channel and I’m excited to be growing my skills and tapping into a community!!! I’m mainly a crocheters (hookers unite) but I’ve been dabbling in sewing and now knitting and it’s just perfect timing

    am i able to make this with only one string of yarn (not double) and a 5 + 6 mm needle?

  • @a.lexakari

    that probably wouldn't create the right size - the best way to check is to make a gauge swatch from the instructions in the pattern to see if your materials will work

    hey! love this pattern - if I can meet gauge would 1 strand chunky yarn be an OK substitution?

    thanks! yes, as long as gauge is correct that should work fine :)

    is it absolutely essential to switch needles for the ribbing?

  • @a.lexakari

    @a.lexakari

    2 ай бұрын

    it would still work without changing, but I like to use smaller needles to make sure the ribbing stays snug on the head.

    Is it for children? I bought the pattern, did everything according to the instructions, but it's soooo small!

    no it's for adults - your knit may be quite tight, but you can loosen the bonnet and make it bigger by blocking it to your desired size
