Knitting in the Round

Most hats are knit in the round on circular needles. Learn how to join the yarn in the round after casting on.

Basic Cabling

The cable stitch is a decorative stitch also known as a twist. You can knit this using a cable needle to produce some fancy detail to any knitting project.

Stepless Color Change in the Round

When adding stripes in the round on a hat, for example, without this technique you may end up with noticeable "steps" where you changed colors. Follow this technique to hide those and make your color changes look seamless. 

Using Barber Cord

Through the magic of barber cord, you can slip your stitches onto the flexible cord to try on knits as you go.
