How to knit after the charts in DROPS 182-5

Keywords: cable, chart, hat,

In this DROPS video we show how to knit after chart A.1 and A.2 for the Sugar Twist hat in DROPS 182-5. In the beginning we show 2 different ways to knit the loop between 2 stitches from the previous round twisted (time: 00: 17-01: 37).

Then we show how we knit after chart A.1, (we have already knit some cm with ribbon). We only show 1 report of each round.
Then we show how we knit after chart A.2, only round 1-4.

This set is knitted in DROPS Nepal, but in video we use a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow.

You must read the pattern and look at the charts to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find the pattern by clicking on the picture below.

Hello, I'm trying to follow your instructions, unfortunately I have no sound but I'm steel trying to understand your explications just by visualing your movements. My question is that on the charts show to purl 6 stitches between the loop pattern but I see you only purl 5 stitches, am I skipping something? I've watche the video many times and still do not understand. Can you help me, please? Thank you very much.

Dear Mrs Racine, there are here 6 purled stitches before the cable and 6 purled stitches after the cable - our videos do not have sound, just follow diagram and written explanations, we are here showing the cables worked in A.1 and A.2 with purl 6 on each side. Happy knitting!

How do you change a pattern from a circular needle to straight needles? (Pattern 182-5)

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Shirley, when you change from knitting a pattern in the round to knit back and forth (flat on straight needles), you have to pay attention that the pattern diagram shows each row/round from the right side so, when you knit back on the wrong side, you should reverse the pattern). Also, when sewing up the hat, put the edges next to each other, and sew into the outer loop of the edge stitch, thus it will not be too thick. Happy Knitting!
