It’s the holiday season, which means it’s a good time for giving! This year, I teamed up with Knitter’s Pride and Knit Pro (their German equivalent) to design a free charity knitting pattern, the Triangle Rib Baby Hat. Now through January 5, Knitter’s Pride & Knit Pro are hosting a charity knit along with prizes to encourage folks to donate handmade items to those in need. More details and the free pattern are below!

About the charity knit & crochet along

Knitter’s Pride just kicked off their Fall/Winter Charity KCAL (knit & crochet along), and the Triangle Rib Baby Hat was designed for it. Since this is a KCAL for charity, you can of course knit the Triangle Rib Baby Hat or you can knit or crochet a different pattern you’ve been eager to try! Here’s more on the KCAL from Knitter’s Pride:

My wardrobe could use another handmade sweater - I’m thinking something simple, seamed and with a decent amount of ease for potentially wearing tucked in with jeans or skirts. 🤔

In knitting, there are a few common knitting styles. Most often you’re going to encounter continental style and English (throwing) style on your knitting journey. I recently had an old video teaching continental style get a lot of views. Based on the comments, it was clear the people wanted to also see a throwing tutorial, so here you go! 🧶
.
Please note that there is a LOT of variation in knitting styles, and one isn’t necessarily better than another. Most often, I’ve found it comes down to two things: how you were taught and whether or not you’re really into colorwork knitting (which can involve a mix of styles). 
.
Longer-term knitters who’ve made it this far: do you prefer one over the other? And why?

I read recently that tiktok and Instagram are being used as search engines more and more. 🤔 I thought since I’m going to all the work of making tutorials on YouTube, I should experiment with making a quick version of them for other platforms. There are obvious teaching limitations to vertical video, short-form content like this, but I think I covered the gist of this cast on in a minute. The YouTube version also covers how to unzip this cast on because there was time for it 👍🏻 L1nk is in my profile. 
.
I’m very much looking for feedback as I continue to make instructional knitting & craft videos. Sometimes good tutorials are hard to find, and (ideally polite) feedback helps me improve.

The post covers what provisional cast ons are & how they differ, and the video covers how to work a one-step provisional cast on using scrap yarn and a crochet hook. (This is a great one to save for future reference.)

I learned several names for this method while researching this video & post. Crochet provisional cast on, one-step cast on, scrap yarn cast on - if you know even more names for this technique, please share!
