Thank you!!!! I'm 16 and have been knitting for about a year, and wanted to make a bag for bringing my projects places while I work on them. I thought I would have to learn to crotche to make what I wanted how I wanted. Your enthusiasm made the start of this project so much more fun than I expected!

Knitting a shawl from the top down

Finally! A knitting video on flat circle or pi circle! Have been wanting to figure out this because I love the flat circles of crochet, which isn't that common for knitting, figured out something but this is 100% better looking! Now we have the Knitter's version of the crochet's circles! I also love the pinhole CO without the crochet hook, it's ingenious of you doing it that way! Almost like doing the knitpurl CO or another type of Provisional CO. Thanks for sharing, keep it up! God bless.

I have been knitting for years and years, but I’ve never knitted a pie circle shape, this was a complete first for me, and I’m happy to say, it’s turning out fabulously, so thank you @verypinkknits for sharing this information with everyone x ❤

Thanks I used your tutorial to start my cat bed. It’s beautiful.

Mind. Blown. I listen to the Knit Picks Podcast and Kelley went on and on about the Pi Shawl and I didn't understand how that worked. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this. I've been struggling to find a way to make a 10cm mouth plate for a knitted plush doll I've designed. Within 30 mins I've knitted a perfect circle, it fits perfectly, I now have found a way of creating an open mouth, like a Muppet to my knitted toys. I can't tell you how grateful I am for the Pi Circle, it is quick, easy and creates the perfect knitted circle xxx

I love your videos!! Ive been watching for years now! You taught me how to knit and I’ve been doing it ever since! Than you 💓

You are a national treasure! Thank you so much for making these videos-it’s always such a treat to learn a new technique from you!

now I want to at-once-and-instantly start knitting a Pi Shawl. But first need to finish an other project. 🙁 Thank you for making it so simple and easy to figure out! 💝

Where has this been my whole life!?! Love love love! Thank you so much! 💞

4:10 Staci, call this your pie crust blocking. ; ) Elizabeth Zimmermann was a ‘calculated’ knitter. I have her Baby Surprise pattern that I’ll be making but in the adult version. It’s like the drawing lessons I took from a book that had you pencil an image upside down, you concentrate on the line drawing, not the end product.

I bought a pattern to knit a bag and the bottom of the bag is this exact detail. I could not figure it out. I'm so glad I found this video!

Beautiful! I love it when knitting is connected to mathematics:-)

Funny thing I was looking for a knitted tutorial on the round, good timing! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've seen a "Pi shawl" done in crochet which is very lacy. But I do love this knitted shawl so much better. You always make difficult projects so simple.

step by step workmanship that requires precision and patience i liked..yes descriptions complete.

So happy I found your channel. This is genious. Thank you!

This is FANTASTIC THANK YOU ever so much!👏😊 You certainly deserve a gold star for your clear teaching and this is so useful!!!!!!!!!

Thank God for magic loop.

You are my Hero!!! I LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS

The timing of this video is great! I am currently creating an Afghan using different knitting circle motifs. I am using the book knitting in circles by Nickey Epstein.

this is so cool! You just opened a whole new world to me!

SO Helpful!!! Thanks for making this video. Was my first time doing the Pinhole Cast-On.

My goodness, that looks difficult! Getting started on dpns has always been taxing and awkward for me. That circle, though...Thank you for sharing.

When I first started out knitting working with dpns was very intimidating until I read a children's knitting book that explains the entire concept. The book is called Kids Knitting and even though it is for children there are a lot a useful and great techniques for any level. Good luck

Hi staci...thanks for this new learning pie circle....good turtorial😄

Love it! I see some knit dream catchers in my futur!!

Perfect! Ima knit a trash bag storage tube thingie and this is what I needed for the bottom!

I love this! Thank you ❤️

That is way cool. I can't wait to start!

I am so excited to do this! Now to figure out a pattern to do on the knit rounds. I have placed a hold on this at my local library so I can see hers!

This is very cool indeed! I'm imagining.. lace table cloth for round tabletops or coasters! I've always thought about this since this is kind of how amigurumi is done, but never applied to knitting. Could you please show us how to do kitchener grafting on seed stitch and garter stitch another time?

I love your work so much I learned a lot from you ❤

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Staci✨

You are mine knitting hero!

Very helpful and cool! Thanks!

Hi Stacy, I still don't see it creating a circle. That's amazing!

Thank you so much. I've been trying to figure out how to start a knit beanie from the top & it was driving me crazy cuz the shape just didn't come out right. Now I got a better idea thanks so much 😘🙂

Awesome specs!! 🤓😎

This is so so cool

I love the way the circles look when knitted! My dislike for DPN's would force me to try this on circular needles...either way it does look a little tricky.

I love this video! Something about learning some history gave this vid some substance... and the tutorial tucked in at the end was just amazing. I’d like to see more like this!

You are amazing!

Thank you ❤

This is great. I am making a Pi hat from this!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Thank you!

Wow I am going to try this 😀

Neat! Thank you.

Harika, paylaşım için teşekkürler.

This is very similar to crochet/amigurumi, but i have a question can i use magic loop method instead of DPNs since it gets very fiddly to me. Thank you so much for this tutorial :D

Hi Staci, thanks for this video! Do you know whether the proportions for the pi circle still work if using a different number of CO sts (e.g., 6 instead of 8)?

Hi, id imagine there would be a difference because when I do it in crochet there is a bit of a difference between an 8 st and 10 st start

I'm knitting a circle skirt, I'm starting with 160 and increasing on until its ankle length..... Can someone please help me figure out the increases, how many, and when, please?

Thanks Staci. I'm enjoying this kinda mini series of pinhole cast-ons and projects.

Took me a while, but I think doing a chart to keep in mind how many rounds one has to do to the next doubled circle is good.

Do u think I can start knitting a hat with the pi method ?

Thank you for these instructions. I haven’t used dpns in decades! Fought with them today and now at row 22. The middle seems to 'poke up' ... will this flatten out as it grows?

@verypinkknits

4 жыл бұрын

No...it won't likely flatten as it grows. If you're using a wool yarn, it should flatten out with some steaming from an iron. Otherwise, you might be using a yarn/needle combination that is too tight...using bigger needles or thinner yarn should help.

Cute! I'm thinking of doing a pizza 🍕 blanket and need a flat base. This looks good! Not sure about the increases.

Hey, this is great. Wondering if you can make 'granny squares' with this technique and if so, how?

My cat insists on sitting on any knitted hat around so I have some old stash sashay yarn to use up to make her her own knitted circular prayer rug!!! Would this be suitable I really want it to be dense, not airy, to use up 1 skein only. I don't want to open up the sashay, just leave it rope quality. I will probably experiment before you suggest feedback, but the largest dp I have is size 13 but will that be too airy? Anyway you are the best, and I love that and how you channel Elizabeth Z. 😍

You mention being able to use any increase you like. If you use M1 increases, does it matter which one since they lean left or right? Trying to envision how that would work in a circle..tanks!

@verypinkknits

4 жыл бұрын

Yes, you can use any increases you like - and the look of the increase will effect the look of the finished piece, it's all about what you want.

Would it be to hard to double knit a round flat circle? I'm probably putting too much thought into it.

Pi shawls look so fun to knit up. However, how do you wear them? I haven’t worn a circle shawl before.

Perhaps folded in half to create a half circle, kind of like a square shawl folded into a triangle, and worn in a Cape like fashion?

Thank you! Have been struggling with this. Thank you

Wonderful tutorial! Do you think this could be used to knit a poncho, but instead of starting with such little stitches you start with a later count (like 64), while following the same pattern (so k64 for however many rows, increase, k128 for however many rows, etc.)?

Hi! I want to make a circle shirt for a toddler. Would the same premise apply following the waistband? ( double round then 2 rows, double then 4 etc?)

Of the Pi Circle? In this video, I demonstrate all the techniques used, but you need to follow the written pattern to create a Pi Circle.

Do I have to use circular needles for this? Can I use interchangeable needles?

How do you transfer the stitches from dpns to circular needles

@verypinkknits

Just put an empty circular needle in your right hand, and knit off of the DPNs to the circular needle.

Can I use flexi flips for this?

I love your videos and your advice, but this is so much easier to do with pinhole cast on with a crochet hook and, then, using circular needles with a magic loop.

A challenge 👍💯

Dnp scare me. I like the concept i will try this at some point.

Can you try to use the magic loop?

Yes, if you are comfortable with the technique, you can use magic loop instead of shorter circulars.

It would help if you mentioned what needles you should use. In your instructions you mention double ended needles and circular needles. Ok, I get you could use either, but imo clarity is important. Not everyone knows these things.
