[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Flexi-tip needles

[terrypowers59 at gmail.com]

The tricky part is transferring from a circular to the flexie needles, for
the crown of a hat!
That is where I messed up!

I ended up knitting flat and had a hole, in my hat!

Hi Vicky.
It's very simple, really.  Divide your stitches evenly between 2 needles.
Take the third needle, and knit the stitches off one of the needles.  Then
take the newly empty needle and knit the stitches off the next needle.  And
so on.
I always tug the first stitch on the new needle up close to the last stitch
on the previous needle, so as not to leave a hole or get the dreaded ladder.
Tracy

Hi Tracy,
Could you describe how to use these needbbes? I have some but have never
figured out what to do. I do not know how to use DPN's.
Thank Y.
