The technique is called "magic loop"; as you decrease you divide your fabric so that a part of the cord connecting your needles can stick out beyond the size of your project.Think of an enfinity symbol with your work at the center. http://youtube/idSpcOEZpnk<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023057129228541740.post-71191771143710356712012-09-07T10:38:19.790-04:002012-09-07T10:38:19.790-04:00You can definitely use a circular needle to start,...You can definitely use a circular needle to start, but when you get to the crown there will be so few stitches you will have to add in more needles. Straight needles is another option - add in two more stitches (one for each end) and maybe knit each one even on the purl sides so that you have a selvedge for sewing up the seam later. Just make sure you remember about the extra stitch at the start and finish when you are counting out for the crown!Mary Keenanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260934319762115179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023057129228541740.post-17756809471662677422012-09-07T10:22:29.585-04:002012-09-07T10:22:29.585-04:00Could this be done using a circular needle?

I wonder whether you used yarn with a very different fiber composition? Sulka is very, very relaxed, probably because of the high silk content. I'm sorry it didn't work for you in any case :^(Mary Keenanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260934319762115179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023057129228541740.post-48226057436565892922009-02-27T07:47:00.000-05:002009-02-27T07:47:00.000-05:00um.... are you sure about 63 stitches? cause that...um.... are you sure about 63 stitches? cause that's what I used and it is WAY too small. I'll finish it for some kid, but I should have checked your math before starting the project. 63 stitches / 18.5 for your guage X 4 inches = 13.6 inches in circumfrance.April Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03395655355230693355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023057129228541740.post-71883470178575873492009-01-29T10:27:00.000-05:002009-01-29T10:27:00.000-05:00gorgeous!
