I have been knitting and crocheting for 30+ years but never done this stitch. Thank you for your video. I do have question do you happen to have stitch count for smaller heads? 😁

I followed everything to the T; - worsted yarn - number of stitches required based on head circumference - size of needles - the stitches to knit And yet, there is NO WAY this beanie is going over my head, it’s waaay too small. Oh well, I’ll find a child to donate it to and knit another one with a totally different sizing. [EDIT] - I’ve now completed the entire beanie, and not just a portion of it. Guess what? It fits!!! It’s a tiny bit tighter than I expected, however I think if I wet the beanie it’ll expand out the perfect amount. Thanks again Davina, your videos are excellent!

Thank you Divana. I love your tutorials. I am making this slouch following your instructions. ❤

I’m so thankful for your patience while teaching these beginner’s tricks on knitting. I’d like to consider myself as a seasoned crocheter but have been wanting to learn to knit again. I’ve watched many beginner tutorials but have always felt nervous the way other advanced knitters teach. They have made me especially nervous doing the purl stitch and can’t figure, for the life of me, how to hold my yarn so I can knitting stitches smoother - without me getting tangled on working yarn strands. Lol you’re so patient, your voice comes off as always encouraging to “go on… you can do it…” you keep reminding us, beginners, that it can be a disaster in the beginning & that’s totally fine, not to expect perfection coz we as beginners are just starting out “”a new language” with our hands. Thank you. I wanted to share that while watching your folder for beginners, I have finally liked doing purl stitches. AND I have finally found a comfortable way to hold my yarn. I’m a right-handed crocheter, so I hold my yarn on the left hand. I started doing that, thinking it might walk for me since I do the same while crocheting. Nope, it didn’t! I think it’s called continental knitting (left hand yarn hold). So I copied how the yarn is oriented on your hand. That worked so much better! Now I can do the purl and knit stitch more conveniently withou turning my fingers into a pretzel. Lol again, thank you ❤

Hi, You are my "coup de coeur"! You are the best knitting teacher!! Really, I'm more of a crocheter but always had a kick for the look of knitting projects. This year I took the decision to try knitting in the round. After watching zillions of KZread videos, you won! Didn't have the right size of needles (mine are 5mm) but decided to give it a try...what is life if you don't live dangerously! I appreciate all the tips and tricks you give! You're my bYTf!

I’m a beginner, but I managed this as my very first hat. Thanks for a terrific tutorial.

This is the best knitting KZread channel!!

You are a great teacher, Thank you so much for bringing so much joy in y life, Bee 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍

Omg your tutorials are super easy to follow and I love how you explain things step by step! Thank you :)

After almost 2 years of having stumbled across your channel and it giving me the motivation to pick up the needles and finally learn how to knit, I can finally say that I've finally knit this beanie (I literally just finished it a moment ago and I am so happy!). This tutorial right here was the one that started everything and I cannot fully express with words just how great this journey has been and how thankful I am to you for being the inspiration for it. You are a wonderful teacher and I love your videos, truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me that little push to start this wonderful hobby ❤

I agree with so many here. Your videos are easy and fun to follow, encouraging one to jump right in and start. Which I did. So many times I tried to learn the Italian cast on. Thanks to you...done. Looking forward to learning much more through you. 😊

Love it. You are amazing teacher, just what I've been looking for knitting beginner. Thanks so much for your time. Continue success & blessings.

I made the large and the small beanie with Caron simply soft grey both came out awesome thank you so much

This is a wonderfully clear and fun tutorial - thank you so much Davina :)

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I needed something new to knit during quarantine, after finishing my slytherin scarf (also with one of your patterns), and this was perfect. By the way, I used dpns for the whole thing because I didn't have a circular needle small enough and it worked perfectly, so as long as you have long enough dpns you'll be fine.

Thank you so very very much for your video!! You explain everything clearly and perfectly. I crochet everyday, but I love the texture that knitting produces. I've almost finished a knitted scarf for my daughter, a very plain scarf, but I'm going try this hat and hopefully grow in knitting confidence. Again, many thanks from Perth, Western Australia 🇦🇺 💐💐

thanks for the amazing cast-on tutorial! I've made the slough beanie a few years ago and still refer to your cast-on portion of the video to remind myself how-to.

No matter how long I've been knitting I always learn something new from you. Your tutorials are precise and fun to watch. I'm going through my stash of yarn right now to start this hat.

I just finished the pattern. Thank you for the tutorial, it was my first time knitting a hat and the result is just awesome. Since I didn't have DPNs I used the magic loop technique to finish the hat. It's a great and easy alternative if you already have a long (the longer the better) and flexible circular needle on hand. Mine was 36in (91.5 cm) long.

This is a beautiful hat. Super easy pattern. It’s flattering on anyone. My go to pattern. I want to try this using DPN’s... I’m a beginner, but I love using DPN’s. Most peeps do t like them, but once you get used to them they are a breeze. Trying to work up a magic loop has been hard for me, Lol. It’s hard finding 16 inch circulars, and interchangeable are pricey. So gonna try to make these using myDouble Points 😉

Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ starting mine today

In love with this Pattern!!!!!!!

I’m about to attempt this. This will be my first hat. Wish me luck 😂

You are a great teacher! Your voice is calm and convincing. Can you share loom knit too? Big fan from the Philippines. Blessings!

I was able to knit my first hat thanks to this tutorial! I had never attempted to knit a hat before because I was scared of knitting in the round and using DPNs, but this video helped me step by step and made everything feel so easy. Thank you so much, Davina!

Thank you! Yup, you can definitely knit up a couple of these hats before the holidays. They make excellent gifts!

I made this hat in the small size and it came out great! It is however a bit too big around the rib. I noticed a difference of 4 stitches between the small and large size. Does this mean if I want to make it smaller I can cast on 80 stitches for example? How does this affect the increase round? Thank you for your help. You did a beautiful job explaining how to make this hat from start to finish.

You have such a way of making a project look so appealing! I've ordered my yarn and am looking forward to making this. Great tutorial, as usual! Your videos are fantastic. Can you put this pattern up on Ravelry so we can create project pages?

Love the tutorial! Got my brim done last night, going to start the increase. My only issue is that I feel like my needles seem so much smaller than the video. I have the same size as pattern indicates and I think the gauge is right, so I shouldn’t worry, but they seem so much smaller lol

Great tutorial, but the free pattern doesn't seem to be downloadable.

I am absolutely ecstatic about my hat I just finished! Your tutorial is excellent. The pattern is gorgeous. I’m new to knitting, and this twisted rib stitch is my favorite now. I’m going to make these as presents. Very fun project, and really relaxing. I had to modify, because I didn’t have size 4, and 4.5 16” circulars on hand. I only had a 5 16” circular. So I just stuck with that for the entire pattern, and my hat came out beautiful. I will be buying the interchangeable circulars soon, and would love to see this with the 4 and 4.5. Just wanted to let you know, that it still looks beautiful with the 5. Thank you for the tutorial 🥰

YAY! I'm so happy for you! That's so awesome that your hat turned out the way you wanted. About the needle size, gauge is unique to each knitter, so it's totally possible for you to get a hat that fits you with a different needle size. (If you're interested in a deep dive on knitting gauge, I made a video all about it here 🤓: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f2Gg2MSzmNSZltI.html ) Anyway, glad the hat worked out well for you! Whoever gets them as presents, is very lucky!

You have been my quarantine knitting teacher. Practicing every day. At the end of my increase row I have 3 extra stitches (I admit I am terrible at keeping count sometimes.) Should I rip it back, or do another knit round and decrease?

Thank you girl I like it.

I've never seen a long tail cast on quite like that. But I'm going to try it. ☺

Thank you for your fabulous and easy to follow patterns. You’ve got me through lockdown! However.. I need some help. I’ve just realised rather than textured rib, I didn’t do the knit stitch 2nd round and just did the rib round all the way. I need to decrease and wondered if you could tell me how to do this if it’s possible to finish this hat? Can I just knit or can I decrease another way? I’m praying I can so I don’t have to start again 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I just finished this and love it, thankyou it's my first time knitting anything. Would it be possible to swap out the textured rib for a stockinette stitch do you think?

Instead of dpn, I can use the magic loop method, correct?

Thanks!

i would like to know if you would make a video on knitting finger less mittens in the round ,, with this pattern , plz

I love this hat and just finished it in 3 days! Even though I checked my gauge and used size 5 and size 3 needles as my guage showed, it was still way too big. I followed the size small and my head circumference is 21.5 inches. It must be the yarn I used that caused it to be too large. I am going to remake it with the same yarn. Will these adjustments work? CO 72 sts, Increase round: *K3, M1, K3, M1* to 96 sts. Decrease as done in the pattern.

New subscriber. I’m pretty new to knitting but I understood the process. You did a great job. Love it. Thank you

is this cast on method stretchier than the regular long tail cast on? Really appreciate your explanation🌷

Hey! I made the slouchy hat and it came out perfectly but it unraveled within a few hours and I don't know what happened! I was hopeful you had some tips for me so I can try to make it again but avoid this problem. Thank you.

I would love if you could make a video of how to resize a pattern...for example this one...imagine I want to use bigger needles...how can i make the calculations? because not every patter have a gauge...thanks a lot!!!

Do you have a video for a slouchie in a number 3 light weight? My sister can only learn watching a video and can’t understand calculating from a worsted to dk weight yarn.

In order to decrease down with any simple basic pattern how do you determine how many stitches to decrease and to knit ? I’m working on a simple hat and I’m about to decrease but not sure how many stitches to decrease? I have 104 stitches . Thank you your hat is beautiful.

What would the WS be for doing a gauge swatch? Is it P1 in the backloop and K1?

Cool music

Hi thanks so much for the video but 84 stitches was to small and I measured my head at 21 1/2 where did I go wrong?

I have a fingering weight yarn and a 3.75mm circular needles and should I change some numbers in the pattern? From where I come from its really hard to purchase yarn and needles so I'm basically doomed 😭😭😭❗

❤ So we’ll explained! 💞

Love the hat. However, I have larger gaps than usual to the right of my K2TOG'S. Any suggestion what is happening?
