Learning to knit in the round on circular needles using the magic loop method was a game changer for me. I really dislike the look of seams, so the magic loop method allows me to knit small circumferences without seams, like baby hats, socks, leg warmers, fingerless gloves, sleeves, and more. It opened a whole new world of knitting for me. I hope it helps you too. ❤️
If you’re like me when I first started knitting and afraid of knitting cables, I knitted for a whole year before I worked up the courage to try cable knitting. That’s okay! I encourage you to just watch the videos to see how it’s done and then one day you might be ready to take the leap into cable knitting. You got this!
Even thought it’s a quick knit I couldn’t knit a lot at one time, making it a great pattern to alternate with thinner yarns to give my hands a some diversity.
This makes for a beautiful baby blanket too! Not so much to cover up with, but as a pad to lay them on because it’ll help protect them from a cold hardwood floor.
This is a free beginner scoop shrug knitting pattern that I designed so that anyone can knit it! It has a simple texture that lays flat and you can easily alter to fit your body and style. To keep the math at a minimum, it doesn’t have a border, it has a pretty slip stitch edge.
