Why don't you just use double point needles (5) for in the round and you won't need to worry about the cable? I think they are much easier to manipulate than a cable and don't need to worry about the length...AND you don't have…

Are you pulling too tight as you go? i do constantly that is why i must knit on needles a size bigger than suggested for any given project. Same with my crochet i know i must use the larger hook up because i pull way to tight. The tightness of your…

I knit everything on circular needles either using magic loop or some version of it...it has considerably lessened my confusion

Before you throw out the needles and hat (which by the way I am sure that they are highways littered with half knitted projects), try out the magic loop. I did a video on it awhile ago, but it is not close enough (the camera needed to be on…

Actually, I always use a 40 inch cable needle for all my knitting in the round projects. I use the magic loop method so that when the number of stitches are decreased to the point that the pattern instructs me to double point needles, I can continue…

I use both. I like to start a project on the circulars and then switch for decreasing. If I don't have the size or can't find the circular easily, I just opt for the double points. I found that once you are really comfortable with them,…

I never did like circular needles. I was taught knitting on the round using 4 double-pointed needles. Just seems easier to me.

I prefer using longer circular needles when knitting in the round especially with the Magic Loop method. Most of my circular needles are between 29 and 40" in length. I find the 16" needles have shorter shafts and are likely to give me…

Don't worry so much about the length of the needle. The gauge is wht is imprtant. 16in sounds also very short to me. I think you should be fine with 26in of 24 in . Just check the measurment. I knit mostly with circular needles

The length of your needle isn't what is causing your size issues. The NUMBER of stitches around the circular is determining the size of your finished project. I knit ALL hats on a 16 inch circular needle. As long as the stitches move…

I need help with my knitting.....

Ok, I've been trying to knit my first hat for months now. I'm getting really irritated that I can't seem to get the right size down. Can someone help me please.As I've stated this is my first hat ever! Prior to this I've knitted up two scarves and have started an afghan. On YouTube I've watched the how to knit in the round video with fixed circular needles by KnitPicks (which by the way awesome video, I didn't have trouble casting on, or any difficulty getting the hang of knitting in the…See More
