    You’ve inspired me to try the double point needles! Do I need to use the cast on method you demonstrate, or can I do another method? (I landed on your blog from Money Saving Mom.)

    This is so pretty!! I am assuming you could also do this with straight needles and just sew it up? Wouldn’t be quite as cute, but I am a real novice and think that might be easier for me!

      I don’t think so Karen…there are too few stitches to allow circular needles to be used.

    At point 6, what does knit 8 for 40 stitches mean?

    Thank you

      Hi Bex – it’s 40 stitches for this all together: “Knit 1, Make 1 [knit 9, Make 1] 3 times, knit 8” hope that helps!

    Hi heather

    Love this I am new to knitting and thought I would give this a go for my mum for Mother’s Day. Might be a silly question but the first two rows are knit one purl one. Then it goes on to say change to stocking stitch (knit every round) I thought stocking stitch was knit one purl one or should I be doing plain knit, The bottom of my one doesn’t look quite right?

    Reply
    • heather says

      March 11, 2015 at 11:30 am

      The main part is straight knitting Becks – so yes you knit every round!! So glad you are knitting – what a great idea to make one for Mother’s Day!

        Becks has this right if you are talking about straight needles. I think that is how she is getting confused since this is knitted in the round.I was confused at first too since I used to do a lot of knitting with straight needles.

    Heather, as an experienced knitter with over 50 years experience (lol I am showing my age now lol) who sadly has never worked on double pointed needles but would love to do it by following your cup cozy pattern, one question though, what weight yarn are you using, worsted or aran? I have a room full of yarn that I would love to use up and was thinking of making some of these for my staff, family and friends. As a director of nurses I find knitting and crocheting at night and on weekends to be relaxing which I think you will agree. I will look forward to your reply.

      I believe it was worsted yarn I used. Great idea to make these for gifts!
