I found this pattern for a doll dress at a second hand store and I was wondering if you think snaps or Velcro could work for this. I’m thinking of using one of these to types of fasteners as I’m making this to give to a child and I thought that they might be easier for them to use than normal buttons.

Hi, looking for similar patterns to this cable knit sweater from toast. Any leads appreciated!

Does anyone use those finger row counter things? is it worth it? i’m usually pretty good at intuitive knitting but i get really nervous about going into like 20 row repeat patterns lol

I got a knitting kit back when the reddit secret Santa was a thing and these came with it but I have no idea what they're for, if you know, I'm super curious.

Hello everyone, I hope someone can help me.

I’m working on a beanie, with following free pattern, and it’s not really clear for me how this is supposed to work.

https://www.katia.com/FR/modèles-patrons-automne-hiver-femme-bonnet-5988-3a.html

The body is all 1x1 Rib, with a 2k, 2p pattern.

It asks for a 110 stitches cast-on, knitted flat (I made it round and this was my first mistake), and a crown with a 1 set up line all knit, then next round 28 decreases.

Then knit a few centimetres, than again a 28 decreases round, etc…

Decreases are “knit 3 together.”

Now where my mind just goes completely blanc is I don’t understand how any of this is supposed to work:

every how many stiches am I supposed to to decrease (the pattern doesn’t say, just says “distribute them”)????

I come up with 26x4 stitches intervals + 2x3 intervals for the decreases distribution.

But this will completely screw up my 2x2 rib pattern, won’t it?

I have no idea how this is supposed to work and where / when to decrease without messing it all up. arrrrrgh!

Sooooomany thanks if anyone could help me out!

Hi friends! Hoping you can help me narrow down my pattern search.

I’d like to knit a crew neck pullover for my partner. He’s quite tall and long-limbed, and we have found that the slimmer fitting sweaters (which are most of the patterns I’ve looked at/styles he’s tried on) don’t suit his body shape ie they accentuate how long his torso is and he doesn’t like them.

I’m looking for a pattern that is a bit more of a relaxed fit, broader in the shoulder and chest with wider arm holes than standard. More of a ‘gone fishing’ vibe rather than office wear. He likes some of the Finisterre/Carhartt, Irish Aran cable knit type jumpers. Does anyone have recommendations?

I’ve been scouring the internet everywhere for this cloak pattern. The website that it was hosted on unfortunately shut down in 2020, and I can’t find anywhere else to get it.

Does anyone have a copy of the pattern already, or know where I can find it? Or even where I can find a similar (long cloak with hood and relatively simple) pattern? Any help is appreciated.

Hey amazing knitters, I was trying to find a pattern for a sweater similar to this. But don't even know what to search for. Does anybody know a pattern like this?

I am currently knitting a hat and I’m getting to the point where I need to do decreases to shape the top of it. Every tutorial I’ve seen requires moving to another needle once the project gets too small for my current circular needles. I don’t want to buy another pair in the same size :’). I am a beginner so I don’t really know what i’m doing.

I am down to the very few stitches on DPNs (doing knit to last 2 stitches then K2tog), but realize that my stitches aren't evenly spaced on the three needles?

I am supposed to knit until 6 stitches remain, then What will happen? Can I continue? Do I just keep going?

Thank you!!!

Do you have wonderful suggestions for a scarf I could knit with 4 balls of Peer Gynt (91m per 50g, so 364m in total)?

I had a look and have 2 possible ones that I could alter if the yarn is running out, but would like to see if you have any suggestions I may have missed!

Possible patterns I found: https://ravel.me/hallgrim-scarf https://ravel.me/beeswax-scarf

Thank you in advance!

I have an angel that I crocheted about 10 years ago, and she's starting to show her age. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a knit or crochet tree topper?

I am trying to do the SHAPE LEFT NECK: Next Row (RS) section - I knitted 33 stitches and then, K2Tog and then??? I dont understand what happens here with the "unworked stitches"

HELP! Please explain like I am 5 years old.

THANK YOU!

I want to make Ankers Bluse by PetiteKnit - https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ankers-shirt - the pattern is for Sunday by Sadness Garn, I planned to use Drops Baby Merino which is also yarn group A and merino, but they have different guage (28 stitches Vs 24). Is it worth going ahead and maybe following the pattern for a size up than I planned? Or do I need to do swatches and calculations to adjust? I'd rather avoid buying more yarn as I'm trying to use up what I have, so if those options won't work I'll look for patterns for baby sweaters in Drops baby merino. Thanks!

I'm a relatively inexperienced knitter, I've made lots of toys/ornaments and recently branching out into baby clothes which means a new need for precision!

I tried looking up videos but can’t seem to find anything with much clarity. I’m pretty sure I was supposed to twist this increase and I didn’t? Please help me identify the problem and guide me on how to fix it 🥲 I’m still very new to knitting.

I came across a sweater quantity of worsted weight wool/alpaca blend (Berroco Ultra Alpaca) in a secondhand shop and bought it on the spot. But I can't decide what to make with it. It's so soft that my first thought was a sweater--but it warmer than regular wool? I have some worsted wool sweaters that I almost never wear because they are just too warm!

What else do I need to know about alpaca before I pick a pattern? Anything that it's particularly well-suited or ill-suited for? Or could I expect this stuff to behave mostly like regular wool given the blend?

Hi guys, I’m making the porcelain sweater and the chart A on the front size isn’t lining up. I have the right number of stitches but on the last “round” of making this pattern I fall 6 stitches off, so the pattern will end a weird place and I have to start in the middle of the pattern instead by the arrow. Has Sony one else had this problem?

hi all - been googling loads and unable to find the solution. I'm finishing up a top I've been knitting with this ribbon yarn. The yarn is - as far as I can tell - made of a thread that itself is knitted in an I-Cord pattern.

The problem is that at the ends, the yarn itself is just starting to unravel and I'm not sure how to stop this. Here's what I mean:

https://preview.redd.it/v1ydil9tdpzd1.jpg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ae36f5bbf3273cc9baeea115a546fd32d677c96

Of course I plan to weave my ends in, but I'm nervous that this unravelling will of the yarn itself will still happen. The only solution I can think of is to tie a knot in the end (you can see I've done this in the image above to stop the unravelling going too far!). But there must be a better fix, surely!

Thanks so much in advance for any tips!

So, I have knit a couple things, but like they are all normal stitch( knit stitch) and made out of rectangles. I have made little plushies but they are also rectangles- so does anyone have any like beginner projects that will help me expand my knitting knowledge? And any tips on how to read patterns?
