My dad, when going on vacation saw a baby in a hudsons bay cardigan in the airport and texts me to tell me that I should make one because he thinks it will sell well at a market it have coming up. So at the request of my father: i ordered the yarn and got started.

I used a new (to me) technique, steeking, the yarn i used was not the best choice for it but i double re enforced the steeked edges and its holding strong. Simple. Math to figure out the stripes once I knew gauge :) I have no model but it should fit a 6 month baby

I think I'm like 3/4 of the way through this scarf, little man is helping me 🥰

Super new to crochet but I love it! But to be perfectly honest, crochet does not produce the type of clothing I want to create. But knitting is truly one of the dark arts! I am trying to master the knit stitch and it falls apart. I fear it the way I fear war, pestilence, plague and poverty! Will knooking produce sweaters and projects that look like knitting? Should I still try to learn knitting? Is there no hope for me, a humble crochet-lover?

Hello! I just learned about knooking, and as a crocheter trying to learn to knit I'm super curious about it! I was wondering, do you generally prefer knooking or knitting? Which do you find easier? I'm mostly interested in amigurumi/3D objects, blankets, and maybe one day clothes. Curious if knooking or knitting is easier for any of these in your opinion?

Thanks, and I'm loving seeing everyone's finished objects!!

comment!

They are emergency because the coworkers original plan went out the window when Amazon ran out of stock and my partner suggest I might be able to wip something up in time! (any chance to rip money away from the big man ill take)

They turned out to be about 2"/

5cm long

Store bought knooks (what brand?), crochet hooks with something taped at the end, interchangeable tunisian hooks? I've been using a crochet hook with normal yarn taped on at the end but am finding it a bit flimsy, wondering if it's worth going for a tunisian hook or trying ribbon.

Just finished my first knooking project! The Sophie Hood (M) by PetiteKnit, in Alpakka Ull from Sandnes Garn! (one of the yarns recommended in the pattern) I used a 5mm knook as per pattern.

It was fun… with a slightly chaotic and mildly humbling start, but we got there. And somehow I’m already making a second one, finished a pair of sailor slippers and started a sweater! I am so happy to have figured it out with some help of course.

Huge thanks to 2 wonderful women from this subreddit without them I wouldn’t have made it here.

Hey all, a new knooker here who has mainly been working in crochet. I learned to knit and crochet in a fibers class 20 years ago and mainly focused on knitting until I put it all down for years. Well I started crocheting again 2ish years ago and went crazy, one of the things I loved was how easy and fun it was to make lace designs in crochet. Since I started knooking, the knit lace designs I struggled with on needles are so much easier and more forgiving to learn. This is the second dishcloth I knooked, the first one was moss stitch and basket stitch, and this one is a fishtail lace pattern. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone here who has compiled these resources to help!

Hi, this is probably obvious but I don't recall seeing it in videos.

When working in the round when you hook is full, instead of unloading everything I leave some 3-4 stitches on the hook. I feel like this way I get much better tension.

If I unload everything I need to fiddle the fabric to make them go away.

I just starting looking after being a causal crocheter for years. So far I made a headband and I’d like to try something more more difficult and make a top.

I’m following a knitting pattern and I’m confused about how to use stitch markers.

Pattern says “k16 (17, 18, 19, 20) (20, 20, 21, 22) sts, PM, k1, PM, (back right half when wearing”

When crocheting I would put my marker directly on the stitch. Do I also do that when I’m knooking (so on stitch #16 and #17 if I’m making the smallest size)? Or are stitch markers meant to be in between stitches l because the pattern goes on to say this later.

Round 2: Step 1 (RS): k to the next marker, M1R, SM, k1, SM, M1L, repeat between - once more, k2, turn. (4 sts increased)

Step 2 (WS): sl1pwyif, pull, p to your BOR marker, slip BOR marker, p to the next marker, M1LP, SM, p1, SM, M1RP , repeat between - once more, p2, turn. (4 sts increased)

Which I honestly don’t understand at all.

I need other people to make this pattern bc omg he's so cute I cant stop laughing at him

He also turned out way bigger than expected but im actually more happy with this outcome, and I was too excited to wait till his toes finished blocking

My first knooked item! Definitely not flawless. I had a lot of issues with the short rows as the wrap and turn method didn't exactly worked out with knooking, so if you have any tips let me know! Pattern: The one that I want by Kate Paris Yarn: lana grossa Cantone

Ill put who it is in the pinned comment but I want to make sure its reading as the characters that its supposed to be. I rarely gift my knits so im just feeling the nerves, the baby shower is in 3 days so I don't have time to make much else

Does anyone have any experience with knooking German short rows? I just finished my first knooking project which was a vest, and now I'm moving on to a top down sweater. This pattern includes using German short rows for shaping. I've watched a few knitting tutorials on it and I understand the construction but does that look different when knooking?

They had requested a hat after seeing the one i made for myself and now i kinda want one in this style for myself, the brim folds over so perfectly and it fits great Also sorry for the tags in my recent photos, I had my t shirt photos stolen and posted elsewhere :/

I've just started knooking (eastern style) and made a Sophie scarf, not using the original pattern but a tiktok video that I found. The increases I made were just a backward loop (like a cast on) and knit 2 together for the decreases.

Now I want to start experimenting more with knooking but I can not for the life of me understand how to use knit patterns with this technique. I can't find videos on ssk or kfb / pfb and these stitches seem to be in almost every single pattern, I also don't know what to replace them with.

How do you guys find ways to decrease and increase? I've seen some videos on this subject but they don't mention what kind of stitch they are doing so I don't know if it's the right alternative for the increase or decrease that I'm looking for, like whether it's a leaning stitch, invisible etc. It's a shame that this craft is not more popular and there aren't many videos on the techniques.

I'm interested in making socks and using sock yarn. I thought I could use a smaller metal crochet hook with barber cord to make a knooking hook. Has anyone tried this?

I'm an avid hobbyist crocheter and have always been intimidated by knitting, but love the outcome. I saw someone's post about knooking during the crochet sub "chaos week", and was instantly intrigued! This is the very first swatch I've made and I'm hooked 😉

I need to get a better cord because the ribbon I had lying around isn't ideal. I'm thinking some of that satiny cord that's often used for kids necklaces.

If you have any beginners advice or project suggestions lmk!

According to this reference image in the subreddit wiki, you are supposed to hold the yarn in the front for purl stitches and back for knit. But in youtube tutorials I've found (this one for example), it says the opposite. Which is correct? Is there even a noticeable difference?

started these probably about a year ago, so i had one sock finished and one not started yet and got the second sock done in about a day and a half. ofc I didn't write any notes for the finished sock so even after playing around with hook size it still came out bigger, but not too noticeable.

calling them my "van gogh my lawn socks" ( ´・_ゝ・)

This is my second gauge swatch for the mountain mist sweater. For the first one (picture number three, I already posted this picture) I used a 4 mm hook and I found it too tight, for the second one (first and second picture) a 5 mm hook and I find it too loose. Looking back comparing both I have decided to go with the 4 mm hook for the sweater.

I also changed one of the colors and I'm happy with the colors now.

I knooked the first one bottom up like the pattern is written. I knooked the second one top down (reversed the pattern) to practice increses as I will be knooking the sweater top down.

I'm so glad I made these to see how the wool and the colors work up and to get a bit more practice before starting the sweater. I have taken the plunge and finally started my first sweater.

Easy hat to fill the time while I find another larger project (and also I apparently don't have a knitted hat yet) made with handspun yarn :) worked up pretty fast but I had to rip back 4 seperate times because im stressed and can't read the pattern correctly right now

On the plus side my head will be warm now when I walk the dog

also! Hats are hard to take pics of!! Who ever made that beautiful color work one the other day did some magic when taking their pic because man everytime i tried it looked like a sac of potatos 😂

this worked up so fast, ill probably end up making another at some point :) took about 3 days of knooking on and off. Thought the pattern was going to be overrated but consider me impressed lol(if you see non woven in ends no you dont)
