Thoy are so lovely I am quilter and just can’t wait to knit a hexi 👍
Wonderful!
Great video! Easy to see and learn. Thank you for making it.
such a good tutorial, clear, concise and unhurried thank you
Thank you, so glad you liked it!
You tutored this very well thank. I enjoyed watching but won’t be making I’m not a neat enough knitter.
Your knitting gets neater every time you make something 😀
Thanks so much for the reply Tuula.
I have a lot of scrap yarn from various projects over the years. This could be the perfect project for me to keep the stash down to a minimum.
If it`s not too much trouble, could you please do a tutorial on how to make the half hexagon to neaten up the edges.
Thanks in advance.
That's actually a good idea for a tutorial! I could make one but it may not be until after Christmas, so busy with all Christmas stuff at the moment.
Thanks Tuula. After Christmas would be wonderful, thank you.
I hear you about busy with Christmas projects. I have so many projects on the go - it`s mind blowing. As well as hats, dishcloths, and scarves for Christmas gifts - I still have a wedding afghan to complete for my oldest son and his new wife as well as sewing a quilt for my youngest son. Busy busy busy. :-D
great video thankyou, could you do a tutorial on how to join these together so they all look the same with a neat even finish?
Great tutorial, thank you. I got al kinds of ideas what to make with this shape. Wash cloth, blanket, even sweater by creating two rectangles then sew them together. Can I make the pieces larger by casting more stitches on, as long as they are a multible of 6 ?
Yes, you can make them larger that way. Although if I was making a big hexagon I would start in the middle and increase instead of how I'm showing it here.
Can we use a magic circle if we don't have enough double pointed needles?
Yes, that works the same way!
Thanks for the tutorial Tuula.
Do I have to do the long tail casting on, or can I do just regular casting on and divide them onto 4 needles?
It doesn't matter which casting on you do, I just always do the long tail.
Hi Tuula, I love this tutorial, I’m currently making a blanket with the hexagons and joining with Celtic lace join - I’m wondering how I secure the thread at the back at the centre of the hexagon so that it stops coming loose?
Great you like it 🙂 To secure well, I normally first pass the yarn tail through the stitches in the center and then finish it off by hiding into other stitches long enough.
Amazing video.plzz mam upload the video how to knit a rat
A rat! Sorry, no, I hate rats :)
Do you have printed directions you can share?
There is a bit of explanation in my blog about this but not an actual pattern www.knit-crochet-blog.com/knitting-hexagons Maybe that will be useful!
❤️️
I am struggling, on the first decrease row, when I am knitting on needle 4 I have 10 stitches,
Oh, sorry to hear, hope it will work out!
Can this be done on circulars?
To get a circle you need to spread out the increases differently so it doesn't form points.
Cwhat sizedpns thank you
I'm using 3.5 mm. But will depend on your yarn weight.
knitting seems much harder than crocheting...
After you get used to it, it is not hard :)
