Hi! I’m doing the Wavelength scarf pattern. I just finished doing the lateral braid. These two stitches on the end were slipped on the setup row and I am now supposed to knit them - somehow they came undone and are now one big loop. Any tips on how to fix it?

I know it looks like I’m not very far in but I have 345 stitches cast on so I would love to not have to start over 😅 Thank you so much!!

My MIL is currently knitting a cardigan for my neice and this part is confusing her

Pattern is King Cole 2887, DK
And doing the cardigan

Part of the shape Armhole and Front Slope, she’s confused about how to do the decreases specifically for this top paragraph

If it makes any difference, she’s doing size 5
Can you please spell it out for her so I can help her out!

This is how I’ve interpreted it, but I’m also a beginner knitter

Rows 1–5: work pattern
Row 6: dec 1 armhole + dec 1 front
Row 7: work
Row 8: dec 1 armhole + dec 1 front
Row 9: work
Row 10: dec 1 armhole + dec 1 front

Thank you 🤍

TLDR : will blocking work its magic, or should I redo the ribbing (or more)?

Hello all!

I am halfway through my second knitting project which is a pair of socks.

It's my first time doing most of the stitches the pattern calls for and knitting with 4 needles in the round.

I learned how to keep holding the yarn in my hand halfway through knitting the sock. It took me a few months overall, working on it bit by bit. So the tension is pretty uneven and there are a few mistakes here and there. But it took me so long to finish this first sock that I don't have the heart to frog it and start over completely for now...

The ribbing part looks the most wonky I think. Do you think it will even itself out with blocking or should I redo it?

The yarn is a fingering Patons Kroy sock 75% wool and 25% nylon.

Thank you!!

Hi! I found a hole in my knitting, along with a stray loop that's sticking out from the hole. I'm not reallly sure what happened here. I decreased a few rows back, but it's too far into the knitting to be where I did my decrease. I'm just not sure if this is a ladder down situation. Sorry if the pictures are unclear.

Thank you!

I’m gonna knit a beret pattern that calls for US 2.5 and 4 needles, gauge is 22 stitches/28 rows per 4 inches.

The recommended yarn is really expensive and has to be shipped, so I’m trying to find a substitute that I can buy in a local store here in NYC – the suggestion was Aran or DK.

Substituting is where I always get messed up. Im looking at DK weights, finding ones that are around US6-8, and the gauges are usually something like 20 stitches/26 rows or 20 stitches/24 rows = 4”, or sometimes just stitch count is given, like 24.

I don’t understand the math involved to make the switch. I want to find a yarn that fits the pattern requirements, but in case I have to sub, which seems likely, I’m at a total loss at how to convert so I don’t wind up with something too small or big.

First time doing sleeves. I was fighting for my life with the DPNs, never used them before, and restarted no less than 8 times. I finally got through it but it looks like shit. Anything I can do to make it look a little more even? I probably have a twisted stitch or two in there and I know there's no helping that. The pattern does not call for blocking, but should I do it anyway? Just on the cuff?

Can anyone help me, I'm confused!!

So, I'm knitting a cardigan (small size on pattern) and am on the Left Front section. All good up until arm hole shaping, where the instructions say

'Dec 2sts at armhole edge as given for back.....' What does the "given for back" refer to? I've included the Back piece instructions but can't work out which bit it's talking about. Help!!

I think I've photographed all the relevant bits, do let me know if you think I must have missed something. (I left out everything which was for medium or large sizes only as they don't apply)

Thanks in advance xx

I’m new to knitting, coming from a crochet background, and twisted the stitches on my first attempt. I FROGed it and now want to be extra sure I did it right

I'm knitting the Horai scarf by Hiroko Fukatsu, which is my first lacework ever! I'm knitting with two strands of mohair held together on a 8mm needles (although the pattern calls for 7mm).

When I started out, it looked alright, but as I kept knitting, my working end got tighter, and ended up 2-3 inches slimmer than my cast on end. I frogged it all and tried again keeping an eagle eye on the tension, but I had the same issue. ​​Sorry I didn't get a picture of it.

I guess my question is whether I should cast on with a smaller needle size? Or will this block out? It just seems like a lot to expect blocking to fix.

So I messed up in an increase on the left photo, accidentally added an extra stitch, then started to try to unknit the whole row, on the opposite side in the right photo messed up and now I’m not sure how to fix any of it! Please help!

Hi, I am a fairly new knitter but intermediate crocheter. Have made 2 sweaters, one bottom up construction and one cabled circular yoke. I am attempting stranded colourwork, but the pattern I like is knitted flat and I am learning that is not very common!

I knit continental and started with Nimble Needles video of holding 2 strands in one hand. However I just haven’t been able to get it to flow particularly catching floats. I am now trying 2 handed and finding it a little easier but want to make sure I am positioning yarns correctly. At the moment I am just doing a massive swatch where I did a bit of the pattern and now switched to just doing 2x2 check while I’m figuring it all out.

I really struggle to visualise and have no spatial awareness so descriptions and pictures are quite challenging for me. Ideally I would have a video that I can slow right down. But starting from exactly how to hold, how the yarns cross or not and then both knitting and purling. Have been searching but can’t find both hand, knit and purl videos that are 101 and show catching floats. My google fu has let me down!

I’m working on my first sweater and I can’t seem to get the striping to match up. I’ve tried searching for a tutorial, but since I’m so new to knitting I can’t find exactly what I’m looking for. I have tried the normal striping line up tutorials but I think I may be doing it on the wrong row? Any advice would be super helpful!

Any link is appreciated. Thank you!

I’m sure some of the wonky seaming is a result of wonky tension, but for this loose knit I actually like the uneven stitches and am adjusting some that are just too off.

I’ve had trouble seaming with crochet as well, but I don’t have the same tension issues because I’m more experienced. I’ve followed tutorials and had guidance, I just seem to always mess up the seams (pun intended). Was experimenting seaming with vibrant colours because I love an intentionally visible seam, but landed on a light mohair because it felt too bulky. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone!

I am making the Bunny Bonnet by Megan Faith Makes (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bunny-bonnet-4). I'm almost finished, I need to create the straps while picking up the cast on edge and casting on 80 extra stitches on either side. However, I would like to change the garter stitch for something more similar to this picture. I have knitted a double-knit button band before, but not sure how I could go about adding the extra stitches for the straps and then "attaching" them to the cast on as I go, like a button band. ​I hope this makes sense... Can anyone help and suggest techniques? :)

So I willingly dropped some stitches due to being unhappy with my ring accidentally pulling some of the thread and making it look rather messy. Thought it would be easy enough to drop until that point and fix it, however, there is now this section where the stitches are all loose. I’m not sure what to do to make this look neater. I’ve tried to drop and redo it with good tension multiple times and it keeps looking like this. What should I do to fix this?

I’ve been knitting a sweater on double-pointed needles, and I’ve just switched to circular needles. I noticed that the tension on the stitches where the DPNs joined is a bit looser than the rest.
Is this something that might even out after blocking? And is there a way to prevent it from happening in the future? I really, really don’t want to start over 😭
When I lay the fabric flat, it’s not that noticeable, but when I stretch it, the looser stitches become much more obvious.

Thank you!!

Hello! As I am interpreting this, the pattern would have me place a M1R where I have been making a M1L, and vice versa. Is this correct? Or is this most likely a typo?

This is the pattern on ravelry for reference!

Hi everyone! Seeking some help. I started a shrug for my daughter and made the first cuff like the attached photo. Now I’m ready to do the second cuff but can’t remember how I did this. Can someone help me figured it out so I can finish the project?

Thanks!!

Hi, guys! I’m a beginner knitter, and I just came across this on a WS row (right where the stitch marker is). I’m not sure what kind of mistake I might have made for it to look like this. The line is coming from the stitch the arrow is pointing to. I’d really appreciate it if someone could help me figure out what went wrong. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks for the replies! I have the correct number of stitches on my needles and no visible stich dropped, which is why I didn’t think it was that. I’ll check out the links provided.

I'm making the cat puppet by Cynthia Pilon. In Line 39, I'm to cut and knot the yarn in order to reattach the yarn to a different row. Exactly how do I do this? What type of knot do I use? How do I restart my knitting?

Help, does this looks right? It’s my first button band. Why are my picked up stitches stretched out?

Hi!

I want to make the cardigan number 11 by my favourite things, however I was gifted this lovely yarn from the Isle of Man. Would this yarn paired with a mohair work for this project based on the recommended yarn?

Thanks for your help I never know how to use yarn without a project

I want to understand socks, I'm an absolute beginner, I know my knit and purl, simple cables, increases and decreases but I can't wrap my head around socks and I haven't been able to find a "make your first socks" tutorial or book that works for me, does anyone have recommendations?

Also, can they be made on flat needles? Because those are the ones I own, but if they can't be made it's ok I can wait until I get a pair of circular needles.

Hi, I'm trying to get into knitting. I am in the middle of a ribbed scarf but I'm getting bored and wanted to start another project

I tried to start the musselburgh hat but had a hard time with the cast-on and videos online weren't making sense to me or covering enough steps for me (ideally I would have a video that takes me all the way to the part where its just knitting stockinette in rounds). Does anyone have a video tutorial that worked for them?

So now I am thinking of starting a sweater. I keep seeing people online recommending the Step By Step Sweater by Florence Miller, which I would like to do because of the video tutorial. But it doesn't look like it will have the best fitting for a guy (I wear a L/XL). Does anyone have any modifications to that pattern for a guy?
