i always knew you could knit circles but it would be hard to do. I'm so glad I found your video. I was planning to crochet a circle instead but I didn't love crochet as much as i love knitting so i searched and found your video. Thankfully i already bought double pointed needles to practice making socks. Thank you so much for the video ^_^

This video was very helpful because I'm actually trying to make a baby security blanket that starts from the center with an elephant head. My instructions tell me to switch to circular needles when I've increased enough stitches on the blanket part but I have no idea how to do that. I'm a beginner and don't know how to interpret instructions unless they're all spelled out for me. I bought a book on knitting in the round so I've figured out that I can just knit onto my circular needles, but then do you knit back and forth or in the round? I've never knitted in the round on circular needles.

+Sheryl DeMott Hi, When you have all of your stitches on the straight needle get your circular needle and hold it in your right hand as if it is your other straight needle. Put an elastic band on the end of the circular needle so that the stitches won't come off the other end. Now, knit the stitches from the left hand needle on to the circular needle. When you have all of the stitches on the circular needle bring the both ends of circular needle together with the working yarn on right hand side. Put a round marker on the right hand needle (can be a small circle of different coloured wool so that it marks the beginning of the round). Now join the round by knitting the stitches from the left hand side on to the right hand side thus forming a circle. Keep knitting around, and when you get back to the round marker slip it over to the right hand needle, and continue knitting around (don't turn your work to purl back as you won't have a join in the circle of work). Keep knitting around in circles, and if you are doing stockinette you won't need to purl as you are always knitting on the right side of the work. So the work ends up spiralling around. I explain the circular knitting in the following video (Ignore that it's a hat)   kzitem.info/news/bejne/t4-mlolmgZiGe6A     Good Luck! :-)

Hi workwithksmusselman, there is a method for doing small rounds called magic loop knitting. You use very long circular needles for that. I don't have a video up but there are many on KZitem. Other ways you could put the elastic band at the beginning of the round with DPNs so that you know when you're back at the beginning of the round, and each time you switch needles just check that you're not twisting your work. Take it at a slow pace and when you go from one needle to the next check the tension for a nice join. You only need the DPNs for a while until the circle is big enough for circulars. Happy New Year to you too! :-)

ONE Criticism. DO NOT KNIT THRU THE BACK LOOPS!!!Simply, instead, knit on LH Ndl before sliding off then knit to form 2. See The Complete Book of Knitting b. Barbara Abbey for reference. Yields NO Purls! (A Purl is created on the front when one knits tbl). You will not get her perfect flat circle. This video is shamefully misleading. All knits are shown clearly in her perfect little flat circle. Heed my advice novice knitters. Thanks for the video anyway, as now I know when to increase.
