Learn to Knit Your First Cap

So, you’ve knit a scarf or two, what now? Time to “move beyond the rectangle” and start knitting shapes!

This project is designed for knitters who are comfortable with the basics – casting-on, knitting, and purling. In this tutorial we learn the next steps – knitting in-the-round, working ribbing, working with double-pointed needles, and working decreases.

Pattern includes three sizes – Child, Adult Small, and Adult Large.

This pattern includes links to four instructional videos to guide you through the new techniques you’ll learn.

Materials Needed:
• one skein of Lion Brand Wool-Ease Worsted (widely available at craft stores), or any worsted-weight yarn
• size 7 US 16″ circular needles
• size 7 US double-pointed needles
• a tapestry needle for weaving in your ends

Pattern + links to 4 instructional videos is $8.00 US via PayPal.

  1. Hello Staci,

    You have a great website and your videos are not only very easy to understand and well structured but also quite entertaining.
    I was wondering if there is a pattern and/or video for the nice blue cable cardigan you are wearing on this video (learn to knit your first cap)?

    Thanks much for your help,

    Anna
