Pull it out, until there is a 8″ loop of cord, then use it to knit the first two stitches of the round together (the extra stitch and the first cast-on stitch). When making socks with dpn I continuously change the point at which I go from one needle to the next so I don’t have to deal with that tendency for the changing point to create a vertical line in the sock.

It works exactly the same as any other needle change, you have your smaller needle in your left hand and your larger needle in your right and you just knit your sts onto the larger needle, pulling out your loop of yarn at the same spot as the smaller one. Jersey consists of straight rows of knitted thread, resembling a knit one row, purl the next combination.Sorry – we haven’t published a tutorial on 2 items at once using the magic loop… we may do it in the future, but it’s not my favourite technique personally, as I find it kind of too fiddly to be worthwhile.

Turn your work 180 degrees, so that the needle with the stitches you just knit are at the back, and the needle tips point to the right. The results are the same, so the choice is up to you, and you should use the technique that you prefer, although it is useful to know both! When I simply slip the needle out so that it is no longer going over, I end up with small holes in my knitting. When viewed with low power objectives, many prepared subjects are flat enough to give an acceptable result with stitching alone.However, the shortest circular needle that most knitters feel comfortable using is 16″ (40cm) around, and this means that for smaller-diameter knitted tubes – like mittens, socks, and sleeves – the standard method of knitting on circular needles will not work.

I’m running into one problem – the stitches hanging out on the cable are incredibly difficult to pull back onto the needles, it’s almost like they shrink and then I have to force them back on. Doing this just creates a slightly ‘tidier’ join at the cast on edge, but it’s not necessary – instead you can cast on precisely the number of stitches required by the pattern instructions.If you find your fabric is simply too stretchy or too lightweight to sew well, try placing a thin layer of tissue paper beneath it as you sew. Use that needle to knit the first two stitches of the round together (the extra stitch and the first cast-on stitch). Regular interfacing will pull the fabric out of shape as you move or tear away, losing stability and undoing the desired effect. In fact, if you’re a novice making your first garment ever, stretchy is not the recommended way to begin.
