WONDERFUL! I am a new Kam Snapper & I *love them.* I haven't done many garment buttonholes since getting my set (a million colors! quick to install! wears well!) especially on baby clothes both knits and wovens. Sewing a strip of ribbon (fine grosgrain is especially nice) to the underside of a placket on a sweater or the crotch seam of little pants adds a bit of stability but not weight or bulk & makes snapping especially easy with no worries about pulling those pretty knitted stitches out of shape. Thank you for all you share, love your videos!

The way the snaps are attached the two mittens can be fastened together when not needed! Quite brilliant to attach them the other way around;))

Thank you for pointing this out! When I watched, my perfectionist tendencies immediately noticed that they were opposite and I thought "that would drive me nuts" (I know that sounds ridiculous...), but you are absolutely right - this is a GREAT solution for keeping mittens together while not in use.

I also love that now the set of snaps is not off count with two unmatched sets of snaps.

Wow, awesome I don't think that I would have thought about that even though my grandkids always seem to lose one mitten every year 😁

Very nice video - love the plastic snaps, and your color choices are beautiful, not one I would ever have thought of. A real door-opening video! Thanks!

I've never seen these snaps installed. Great video; it's opened up some possibilities for my knitting. Thank you.

Because the snaps come in paired sets, I actually liked that you chose the pair of each color and switched where they went on the mitts. You will not be missing a set when you get low on a color and need a set😊.

Thanks for the tutorial - perfect for my grandsons convertible mitts!

Thank you! I ordered the kit, and can Imagine a lot of uses!

I'll have to add that to my wish list. I love all the colors of the snaps so much more fun than metal. I already have a metal snap fastener but I see the faster it comes with plastic ones for a very reasonable price I love that they're in a case.

Great video! Always a good education!

Very nice, worked well. I thought about using plastic snaps but wasn't sure if it was the right thing to use. I used the loop and button, which worked fine. Small button isn't that clunky and doesn't snag. Thank you

I got the tool & snaps for a project in February 2018, so I’m always looking for another chance to use it. I’ve already been looking at this mitten pattern, so this seals the deal - I’m making them!

thank you for all your help and inspiration! ^^

Super pretty gold and pink mitts!

P.S. I looooooove the colours you've selected for both mitts! so pretty!

As long as they snap and look really, really good!

Staci, you are the queen of knitting and I love your face so much. You’re amazing.

Aww, you're very sweet. Comments on the internet (not on this post) have been weird today, thank you for restoring my faith in humanity. :) I hope you find my videos useful.

can think of many uses for this tool !

Very nice mitts....thanks for sharing.....

Great Video, I purchased my Kam snaps off Amazon at the beginning of 2018 and have used them on knits and Crochet items , they work great and really good for those baby items too!

The way you did the snaps means you won't have an odd number of either color left over, which I'd much prefer over something no one would ever notice :)

Thank you, this was great.

I LOVE the Kam Snaps idea for these mitts. And that purple/gold colorway is 😍😍. I hope this isn't too far off the scope of this video, but I'm making a very simple children's cardigan in Aran weight yarn and I'm afraid these snaps would be too small for the yarn weight & overall look of the garment. Do you have any recommendations for a button-free closure that would work in that application?

Would it not be easier to attach the snap before you attach the flip top part of the mitten to the main part of the mitten? I am doing my first pair of convertible mittens right now. I have made lots of mittens and I am also trying to do socks and with all of the various videos I am almost totally video taught to learn knitting and crochet I find that they are very good for me to learn how to make all kinds of things!!

Genius!

Thanks for the video! Would you add snaps before or after blocking?

Can you use snaps on worsted weight yarn?

Knitting help, adding plastic snaps to knitting. Question, is there a specific size snap I should use for knitted items? Thanks!

Thanks for another great tutorial. Just a thought, you could show the steps using a plastic Ziploc bag so that people can see where everything is while you're doing it.

Please help! I knitted a fair isle doll dress and the third and fourth rows are so tight the whole hem curls. 😰 I am steam blocking with pins now but it seems like it will keep curling. It took SO LONG to knit and I already showed the person who is getting it and she loves it. Advice? Some kind of crocheted top stitch maybe?

Neat. Especially since you used purple & Gold, LSU colors!

Wow, excellent video! Love it! One question though, do we really have to use that click thing to secure the snaps?

You mean the press/pliers thing? Yes...I don't think it's possible to get the snaps secured without it.

Another thing you can use from the sewing community is that instead of using a Sharpie to mark your spot [we have all made a mistake before] because they are indelible, by using a Frixion marker you can use heat [an iron works well] and the ink disappears. While I haven't used it specifically on yarn it works well on fabric and it doesn't need a high temperature - it's the heat produced by the friction of rubbing with the plastic endy bit that erases the pen in normal use on paper so it's not a lot of warmth needed. Just thought I would pass that on in case some folk are as clumsy as me when it comes to making an error or 3.

Thanks for the video! I am trying to add snaps to something I knitted but I am finding that when closed the snaps are very strong and they are pulling the snap away from where it is embedded in the knit and messing it up. Do you have any suggestions?

@verypinkknits

Maybe include a little square of fabric with the snap to stabilize the knit fabric a bit? I haven't tried this myself.

When I use KAM snaps in my sewing, I always use a stabilizer to make sure the snaps don't pull or tear at the fabric with repeated use. Wouldn't it be necessary to do the same on knitted items?

@verypinkknits

As long as you're using the snaps on an area that isn't holding much weight (like these mitts), stabilizing the snap isn't necessary.

Have you thought of magnetic snaps for the mittens?

is it possible to do it before finishing the mits ? So that it will be easier

@verypinkknits

It's possible, yes - but I think you can more accurately choose a perfect snap placement after the mitts are complete.

You can see both sides of the snaps in the video...if you're using the snaps in a project where both sides will show, the "public" side is just a little solid circle.
