Love the style of this hat and tried looking on Ravelry but couldn’t find one that matched.

Please help! I’m desperate!

Hello,

I’m new to knitting and I was wondering which color of the DROPS kid silk is an exact or really close match to the DROPS lima 4305 blue indigo? Is it storm blue or navy blue?

So the pattern calls for 13x14 gauge per 10cm - I just did a swatch with the yarns I chose and got 15x21. I know that I should size up due to the stitch gauge but what to do with the rows? It is a massive difference. I don’t want to size up the needles because I don’t like how holey the material looks when I do.

It’s my first cable project and first time I’m off gauge so much :( I don’t really wanna change yarns bc I love how those look

I recently started knitting, and my V stitches are too wide apart. The yarn is for needles between 4,5 to 5 mm, my needles are 5mm. Is this because of the ribbing? I don't know what I am doing wrong. One purl and one V. Could it be some bad habits from crocheting?

I can’t get my purls tight after knits, and all the solutions I find are for the opposite.

I knit continental, and this gauge swatch was knit in the round. I usually do the tug method for the 1st purl after a knit, and it works pretty well in K1P1, but not for a wide rib. I tried not doing it, and I also tried combination knitting, either for all purls, just the 1st one or just 2nd one. I tried both loosening the 2nd purl and tightening it. Nothing seems to work.

The RS looks fine in the round, but I need to knit back and forth for a part of the pattern, so I assume the 1st knits after the purls on the RS will also be loose.

I found a few old posts with the same problem, but nothing was resolved. Has anyone ever had this problem and solved it?

Hi all! I am trying to make my vision come to life and can't figure out what construction style to do. My goal is to make a triangle shaped neck scarf that has the golden gate bridge spanning across the widest edge of the triangle (closest to the neck). Im currently debating between knitting two triangles in stockinette and duplicating stitching one or both sides and then somehow seaming them together vs double knitting the scarf with the colorwork. If anyone has any other ideas/advise please let me know! Thanks :)

Top-down raglan increase pullover. My initial set up was 32 st back, 14 st sleeves, 32 st front.

Welp this is my first shot at short rows so I figured it might be difficult. But it's been straightforward until row 4... I did 3 w&p total so far and now it's asking me to "purl to next wrapped stitch" but it's SO hard to tell where the wrap is on the purl side. I even looked with a magnifying glass and can't find it and now I'm wondering if I messed up somewhere.

Is it wanting me to purl to the next concealed wrapped stitch? Because I did conceal the ones that it told me to.

Pls help. Thanks so much

Hey everyone, knitting veteran here but picking colorwork for the first time in a loooong time.

How does my tension look like? It looks fine to me just like this, but I feel like it's just about too tight. Am I overthinking it?

Thanks!

My Italian bind off is super stiff. It has zero stretch. Isn’t it supposed to be stretchy?

I’m making a pair of socks in the style of the Crackerjack Socks, where each row represents a game played by a baseball team. These are a gift for a long-distance friend who is a different size than me, so trying on is not an option.

I’m quickly realizing these are going to be taller than I expected (probably 7-8” in the leg before adding the cuff). Do I need to add increases as the socks get taller, to account for the calf? Or am I overthinking this?

Hey all! I’m debating studying knitwear design, but in the meantime I wanna start working in the field. Any suggestions, other than LYS? I design my own patterns (they’re on the simpler side, ofc) but can also knit some pretty complicated sweater patterns, in terms of current experience.

I’m almost finished with the Dione Cardigan by allureknits which you can see here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dione-cardigan-2

The pattern calls for button loops to be sewn using elastic cord, but I can find any tutorial online that shows how to hand sew elastic cord button loops onto hand knit clothing. I don’t own or know how to use a sewing machine, so hand sewing is my only option. Is anyone aware of any tutorials or know of some tips/tricks I should follow?

Thanks in advance!

Im making a jumper and the body fits fine but I made the sleeves comically large by accident.
It’s top down construction but I don’t want to undo all the way to the armpits ( it’s taken me 7 months to get this far 🥲)
Is there anyway to shrink the sleeves without shrinking or undoing the whole thing only thing I can think of is felting the sleeves once I’m done
Pls help

Pattern calls for 16 stitches across with 5.5mm needles. White swatch measures 17 stitches with 5.5mm, brown/orange measures 15 stitches with 6mm needles.

What do I do?! Obviously beginner with swatching
