Fantastically useful video, thank you so much. I am replacing the arms on a much loved knitted cardigan in crochet and I have been able choose just the right ribbing.
Hi, I have tried each of these ribbings, yes the work, but I want one that is part of the garment, not to be attached later. Each one of these I feel are detached and doesn't fit my needs, Any ideas on how to get this effect on a beanie starting with what ever pattern from the crown to the bottom that will include the ribbing, as I have found a perfect pattern in just (post) ribbing, but I want to be able to do something else. Any ideas will be welcome, thanks
I think this video does a great job mentioning why the vertical ribbing post stitches don’t form the right stretchiness for something like a hat band compared to the horizontal ribbing. TL Yarn Crafts has a tutorial on how to connect the sc back loop ribbing to a hat in progress to make a ribbed band. Or if you really want to keep working in the round, pick up and knit your ribbing!
@@frog2tog The pattern I am using which is the post version of ribbing, (one stitch front one stitch back) it has loads of stretch, I just wanted to try something different, like a patterned hat for the top with the ribbing at the end. So this does work, just not with the versions in the video, as I have tried those and there is no to little stretch. Children and some adults like a hat to be snug, but not tight, but I will continue to find a way. I didn't say that the video was wrong in any way, also when I am knitting I use a smaller needle to do the ribbing, I have been knitting and crocheting for over 50 years however, ribbing is a bit new to me, but I will find a way eventually. Being vision impaired knitting is a problem for me as I cannot see if I have dropped or split a stitch until I look close up or after a few rows, but dont have the same problem with crochet. Pretty sure you too would be frustrated when you cannot see and things keep going wrong.
Hiya, so for this you would need to select a vertical ribbing like the front / back post. I’ve yet to discover a rib that runs at right angles to the main piece in the same way. But always looking!
You can attach any of these rib stitches to the end of a hat for example, by working in short rows at right angles. I have a separate video which explains this in detail - you can either start with the ribbing then work the hat or vice versa. I think that’s what you mean? Here is the tutorial if so: doradoes.co.uk/2017/10/27/getting-the-band-together/
@@DoraDoes Thank you for answering, I will look at the video to see if its the way I mean, sorry if it sounded off, I really was trying to figure a way so I can make other hats with patterns as its getting a bit boring working in one style. I like variety keeps the mind active instead of mindless. Again thanks for your help.
