Finnish Yarns and Design Since 1928
Welcome to Novita’s New to Knitting Video Workshop!
During this workshop Sari and Markus from Novita will teach you how to knit a beautiful, chunky hat from Hygge Wool yarn in a few easy steps. When you're finished with the entire series, you'll be ready to take on any knitting project!
Every project starts with casting on a number of stitches. We're not really knitting yet, rather laying a foundation for our knitting-to-come.
This method is called the long-tail cast on. While there are many other methods, this is perhaps the most common one.
If you don't have a basic concept of knitting gauge, you're lost as a knitter. Sari and Markus start the project hat with a rib.
Waistlines, cuffs or hems - whenever you need your knitting to snug up a bit, use ribbing.
Smooth sailing, row after row. Not boring, but relaxing. Breathe, clear your thoughts, and watch your hat progress almost by itself.
It's time for some shaping - we'll want a hat, not a tube. We'll walk you through three different decrease techniques.
The Knit 2 together (K2tog) is a basic, right-slanting decrease.
Slip, slip knit (SSK) and Slip 1, knit 1, pass slipped sttich over (SKP).
Your hat is almost done! Sari and Markus share their tips on finishing and customizing the hat.
Slightly dull, but mandatory. Here's how to weave in the yarn ends on your finished hat.
From blocking to wrong side, here they are.
