Major newbie to knitting🙈! (first project)
I started with the magic loop technique on the Wave Tee by Petite Knit, and I’m really stuck on this section of the directions (so far I’ve gotten up to k3 in row 1, so the next step I need to do is turn — I’ve included a pic of my work on the right side and wrong side currently, and the pattern instruction)

I understand that “turn” means to do a German short row (which I’m still trying to fully learn the steps for). And if I’m also understanding correctly, what should be happening in these steps is that I’ll essentially be knitting a flat back and forth section(?) — however, I am not sure what “purl to beginning of round” indicates in this context? I’m not seeing a point on my work that would to make sense as the “round” start (also since I’m only a few stitches away from my next stitch marker, which it says to purl up to in the next step). The next row has the same command except with knitting instead of purling

Normally I would I think round refers to knitting around the entire work once, but I’m assuming that’s not the case here

Sorry I hope this made sense and am happy to clarify further, I am extremely new to this! Thanks in advance to anyone taking the time to help me out!

I’m a crocheter and I recently decided to learn to knit. Im making the Florence Mills step by step sweater and I’m using 4.5 mm hooks with 40cm cord like the pattern calls for. In her video it seems like her needles are shorter and she’s able to join in a round without magic loop. It’s my first time using magic loop and there’s this huge gap in the join that doesn’t tighten when I pull on it or continue knitting. I did do the long tail cast on, is there something I can do or do I need to bite the bullet and buy shorter needles ):

so i'm knitting the dot top right now and just realized i accidentally did stockinette stitches for a couple stitches instead of garter. normally i would just ladder down and fix them that way. my problem is that i can't ladder down anymore because i already cast of the stitches directly above it because of the shoulder strap, is there any way to fix it without putting in a life line below it and frogging back? because if that's the only way i might just not care that much because its so far back lmao.

Hello knitters! I’m working on the Hanni Cardigan, and I don’t understand how the bind-off for the 2x2 rib suggested by the designer works.

Could you help me by pointing me toward a tutorial for this technique, or explain it in other words?

I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

I’ve been doing ML and DPN heel flap and gusset socks but am trying a new pattern for motif colorwork socks that calls for wrap and turn short row. The process is fairly straightforward but I wanted to watch a tutorial to help walk me through it. The problem I’m having is that if I’m reading this pattern correctly she wants me to split the heel between the two needles with a marker halfway in on each needle instead of flat across one needle split into thirds. I haven’t seen a single example of that anywhere and I wonder if it’s split like this to keep single motifs on the sides of the sock or if I am 100% misunderstanding this very simple pattern. Do any of you split the heel between needles? Am I misunderstanding the directions? I’m doing the #2 toddler sock with 48 total stitches 24 on each needle.

Crocheter trying to knit for the first time! This pattern starts with ribbing so one knit and one purl alternating across the row. Some of my knit stitches are coming out very loose and when I try to change tension it doesn’t seem to make a difference…what am I doing wrong? The second picture feels like it is correct at the end of the row

So I have a question about knitting charts. I’m currently working on a double knitting project but I’ve seen may videos same when you starts the first row I start you read right to left but when I start the second row do I read it left to right or still right to left? Can someone help me understand? Am I doing it wrong 😭

I'm knitting the Norma sweater which uses short rows across the front. I'm quite far into it now and have found this hole! Does anyone know how I've managed to make this and how I can fix it without ripping it back? (I'm almost finished the body)

i’m really confused on how to do the paw prints. when do i add a new bobbin? are each pair of paws done with the same bobbin of gray? please ELI5. thank you!

Making size “4” . Where it says shaping neck, decreases and then size 4 only instructions. It is the left side of a child’s cardigan.

I've been staring at my stitches and I seriously can't tell! 😭 Some look like they are but some look fine? Would appreciate an expert opinion!

Hi guys,you were really helpful last time and helped me out a lot, thank you so much. I might need your help again:)
I am still knitting my first project the [***step by step sweater***](https://www.ravelry.com/projects/TheSewist/step-by-step-sweater) pattern from handmade by Florence.
My gauge is correct and I knitted the body on 5.5mm needles and currently knit the ribbing in 4.5mm needles as the pattern suggests.
I want the sweater to be slightly cropped and prefer vintage fits so a tighter waist would be ideal. I stopped the pattern 7cm before I want it to end and have currently knitted 3cm of the ribbing. (The measurements of the dress form are the same as mine).
Should I restart the ribbing with smaller 4mm or 3.5mm needles. Should I add elastic when finished? Or am I going crazy and it will be tighter after binding of?

looking back, i should’ve done intarsia but i don’t have any bobbins, so i did fair isle instead. i thought blocking would help get rid of the scrunched up stitches but to no avail. what am i doing wrong?

it's a 4th Doctor's scarf and I kinda have no idea what I'm doing and how this happened. there was a big space between two stitches, I thought it was weird but continued knitting as normal, but then I noticed THIS happened.

Ok I’m super confused by what is after rib 5– I do rib pattern 5 times but what does the 3 2 1 2 mean? M1 means make one but then what about after the rib 5 again with new numbers 6 7 8 9?

I appreciate your responses!!!

I know that intarsia is supposed to be different than having floats, but are these longer floats okay for an intarsia pattern? Its going to be a crescent moon. If not okay, does that mean I need separate bobbins anytime Im not going straight up and down in the same color?

I am making this tee and am now at the pink squiggly line but am confused where the next increases for the RS go. It is on the 18 st left and right shoulder? This part of the pattern reads odd to me and so I’m very confused on what is next.
