Beautiful and easy to follow! Thank you for sharing your gifts of knitting, teaching, and video production! ❤

This was a fantastic tutorial! So east to understand and I loved how my hat turned out! Thank you for creating this! I’m excited to get different colored yarn and create another one! 🎉

The way you formatted this video--simply amazing! I mean, wow. I'm still new in the knitting game and have not experienced mohair, but you have piqued my curiosity!

Thank you so much for your kind feedback, I'm truly flattered! 😊 Mohair can be tricky to work with, but it looks so delicate and fluffy.

Amazing video and the beanie turned out beautiful! :D You are so good at explaining, thanks so much for sharing

The beginning of the explanation is very clear, but I have difficulty to understand with continental knitting: I can’t follow the yarn when purling and the ends of rows are missing.

Make more videos ❤️ !! I love the quality and how easy they are to follow! And the colours & how high-quality your vids are. Can you make a video making a pair of mittens?

Hello! Hoping to try to make this, it’s so cute! When you are combining the 4 yarn pieces do I do that from the one yarn ball or from 4 different ones? Sorry might be a dumb question, but I would love to know! Hoping to make some as a gift before Christmas. Thanks for sharing this content ❤️

Thank you so much! :) No worries, it's a good question - you can work with 4 balls of yarn simultaneously, that's the easiest way to knit, but you will need to buy 4 balls of yarn, and you'll have leftover yarn. If you're planning to make multiple hats - then leftover yarn is not an issue, you'll use it up. You can also work with 2 balls - you'll have the yarn tail and you'll pull out the thread from the center of the ball (so one ball = 2 threads of yarn), but this way is less comfortable, then the first one. I wouldn't recommend you trying to knit from one ball - first of all, you'll need to find quite a big ball, and then measure and cut 4 threads ... So I'd advise working with 4 or 2 balls. Hope this helps! :)

Hi, if I use one threads of DROPS Flora and two Kid-Silk, can I still use needles nr 5 and do everything like in the video? Or should I rather use just one Kid-Silk. I would prefer the beanie to be fluffy. Thank you for the video!

Hi, I've personally haven't tried this yarn combination, but it sounds like a good one. It's really hard to say without a gauge swatch, but the combined yarn weight looks suitable for this pattern. Ideally, you need to knit a gauge swatch with the chosen yarn and needles and wet block it, to check if the gauge matches the pattern, and see how this yarn combo transforms after being wet. Hope this helps!

I made one for myself: 4mm double pointed needles, 80 stitches, length 35cm. I have long hair and it fits perfectly, also when I want to hide them under.

Hi, sure, that would work! I'd suggest you try to use 1 thread of kid mohair and 1 thread of thicker wool. You don't really need 3 threads of kid mohair if you will have wool (and kid mohair not so cheap... ). You can try working with 2 threads of kid mohair if you want the hat to be fluffier. Maybe put together 1 thread of wool and 1 thread of kid mohair, and then 2 threads of kid mohair - and see what you like best. Hope this helps!

@mirellamoments9455

@@divadloBEZPRKEN Hi there! Thanks for your question, the short answer is yes, you can knit with other yarn. What I like about the English rib, is the fact that the stitches turn out very even, so you can also work with fibers, that typically don't hold the rib sitch very well (for example, 100% alpaca). So you can definitely choose other yarns. If you are very sensitive, then wool or alpaca might feel itchy, so you can go with merino wool or baby alpaca because they are softer. Also, be aware, that natural fibers tend to grow after they are washed, so it's nice to take that into consideration, and knit a gauge swatch. Hope this helps!

What about a DK wool yarn and 1 or 2 strands of brushed alpaca silk mix?

Hi, you're welcome! :) The hat stretches nicely, and it's for a medium adult size - 54-57cm (21.3-26inches). Honestly, I wouldn't recommend exactly this design for a complete beginner - there are not only knit and purl stitches, but also k2tog and yarn overs, although the pattern is pretty easy to work, but if you have suitable yarn and spare time, you can always give it a go:)

Hi, it might be confusing if you are used to knitting in the English style. I just insert the right needle as if to purl, grab the yarn, and pull it through (I put my finger on the thread, so when I grab it, it stays above the two stitches). This is just the way I work the purl stitch. You can purl the way you want, just purl 2 stitches together :)
