Thank you for this wonderful tool. I was searching for a top down preemie hat pattern that I could do with the Magic Loop method. Since I am not an advanced knitter, I didn’t know where to begin. This works really well.

Pretty impressive. I love to knit hats top down and I found your site through a web search. Can’t wait to start.

Karen- When you are binding off, to make a looser bind off you can either A. use larger needles to bind off or B. Do this stretchy bind off: Knit the first stitch, knit the second stitch and then knit those two together (as if it were a ssk), then keep going knit the 3rd stitch and then knit the two stitches on the right needle together, etc etc until you have finished your bind off. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions lovemyryley@aol.com

Help! I made the hat, did my ribbing, and bound off. But it seems to me that binding off at the bottom of the hat doesn’t make sense – the bound-off edge is tighter than the ribbing. Did I do something wrong, or is it supposed to be that way?

It was amazing to find a hat in garter stitch knitted from the top down . !!! I am having an awful time really ,deciding to knit a slip over style knit from top to base because of salvaging the top of front of a “being knitted” norwegian style sweater ,the base of the front which i removed to make a hat and the middle part made a bag leaving the upper part with neck part completed The only solution was to knit the rest as a slip over style garmentin garter stitch from base of what was left of the top of front downwards It has been dreadful -The knitting of the original frontof the sweater did not seem good enough you see. The slip ove r seems worse than the knitting of the whole norwegian style sweater which i have completed Garter stitch might not seem as different upside down as stocking sttch but if there was any spare wool i woud have knitted a garter stitch hat but it might have looked different if it was knitted from base to top so thsat was a worry Anyway i decided to knit the slipoverlonge r to us e up the spare wool and that is an effort in stripey design because there is insufficient of the main colour so i wish i ha d found your website sooner about how to knit a hat from top to base It came up on a search and the search said garter stitch spreads – and those seemed to be the words of a fellow -sufferer .
