Estoy empezando un calentador de cuello en aguja circular, pero cuando uno los extremos me queda como un pequeño huequito, porque el primer punto no tiene como ajustar. Hay otra tecnica para evita este problemita, ademas cuando remato los ultimos punto me queda muy tenso como tendre que matar para que quede elastico y no apretado?? Cariños Lucia

Square knitted in garter

We have several designs based on knitted squares. This is how you knit a square: Cast on 8 sts on double pointed needles. Distribute sts on 4 needles with 2 sts per needle. Knit a first round and at the same time insert a marker in the first stitch on every needle. Round 2: Knit the stitches with markers and purl remaining sts at the same time inc 1 st by making a yarn over on each side of each st with marker (= 8 inc per round). Round 3: Knit all sts, knit YO into back of loop to avoid holes. Repeat Round 2 and 3.

Garter on a few sts (round)

Sometimes our patterns tell you to work a number of rows in garter st on the middle sts with remaining sts in stockinette or pattern as before. This is how we do it when working in the round. The sts that are worked in garter are purled on every other round, and knitted on every other round, and the other sts are knitted on every round as before.

Cast on - continental method

There are different methods to cast on. This one is the most common that gives a firm but still elastic edge. It’s called the continental method. The cast on should be firm but not too hard. If you feel it becomes too tight you can use larger needles or cast on around two needles and then pull one needle out afterwards. Remember to use the correct needles when starting your knitting.

This video show you everything from cast on, knit your stitches back and forth, and to end your piece with bind off. Mastering these techniques is the start of many exciting projects as your first dish cloth, potholder or headband... When knitting all sts on every row, it's called garter stitch. The fabric looks the same on both sides, perfect for scarfs !

Time to knit: we start by learning how to knit stitches. We are knitting using the US / UK method. This means we are holding the yarn in our right hand and wrap it around the needle with our right hand...
