Hey Knitters!
Are you ready to take your knitting to the next level this year? You’ve wanted to learn to knit socks, mitts, and hats but there’s one thing holding you back – knitting in the round. It’s so fiddly, right?
Wrong!
I have a wonderful technique that will make knitting in the round easier using 2 sets of circular needles. With half your stitches on one needle and half on the other, knitting in the round becomes knitting flat twice. Simple as pie. I have a few tricks that will help you master it, so come along and join our Five Day Knit in the Round Challenge!
The Challenge:
The original challenge was live March 4th – 8th, I sent a link to a short 5 – 10 minute video to your email each day of the challenge to walk you through the process of knitting this cute reusable coffee cozy. The facebook group was alive with questions, progress photos and encouragement! What a fun learning challenge this was!
By popular demand, the instructional videos and worksheets have been compiled into a free class on the Teachable platform!

Invite some friends and have your own Knit in the Round five day party!
Let us know how you like this technique,
*In order to get the most out of this challenge, you should know how to knit flat on two needles, and perform both the “knit” and “purl” stitch. This challenge will not teach you how to knit.
Hi Julie! I have never knit in the round with two circulars at a time…how different from Magic Loop knitting is this?
I don’t work on Mondays, normally, and would like to try this, but I work Tues-Fri. Can I still join and participate on Monday, March 4? Please let me know if that will work!!!
Thanks!
Pamela Watson
I am looking forward to this! I have wanted to learn this technique and it sounds like fun.
Yay Karen! We will have a great time learning 🙂 And….prizes! <3
Yes, of course, Pamela! You can watch the videos and make your project anytime you like. You’ll have links to the videos in the emails I send you to watch at your convenience. We will have a question/answer livestream in the facebook group each day of the challenge and you can watch the replays of those whenever works for you! Would love to have you participate however works best for you! 🙂
Do we find pattern on Ravelry?
Hi Helen, No – I’ll explain the project within the challenge. No pattern needed. I’ll give you an assignment each day, kind of like a knit along and you’ll get the pattern along with a recap of all the videos and worksheets at the end of the challenge so you can refer back to it to make more if you like. 🙂
How do I determine size of needle? By yarn I’m using? So excited to knit in round with 2 circulars.
Hi Helen! We are going to use size US 7’s with worsted weight yarn for this challenge 😊 keeping it easy! Did you get a copy of the supply list? There’s a link to it from the “you’re in!” Email you received after signing up!
Looking forward to the tips in the video!
This is going to be so great. I love knitting in the round but can NEVER get the correct joining. I hope this helps me. Looking forward to the challenge. Thank you!!!
Hi Lynda! I think this challenge will clear things up – at least I hope so! 😂🤣😂
Hi I’ve tried twice to join the challenge and I never receive the follow up email. But I continue to receive the emails advising me of this challenge. Can you help?
Thanks
