Can I use this crow st for a bloke in the afghan 12×12. How do I decide hoe many st to co thank you Jean
Johnny Vasquez says:
Hi Jean! You’ll want to make a gauge swatch. When you measure your stitches per inch, just multiply it by 12 (for 12 inches) and cast on accordingly. Does that help?
Jean says:
Thanks John yes that helps sorry about the spelling
Jean says:
Should I make my swatch in the pattern or knit st that goes for a linen st crowl that I want to mak thank you John
Johnny Vasquez says:
You should always swatch in the pattern you want to make your project in.
Marcia says:

Harriet Kozitsky says:
Hi I do not know how to figure how many stitches to put on my round needle say if I want to knit a cowl with size 5 yarn, bulky if there is no pattern. I know how many for size 4 thickness but not for size 5 thickness. Does that make sense to you.
Johnny Vasquez says:
You will need to make a gauge swatch with your yarn in the pattern. Measure your sts/in and then determine how long you want your cowl. Then multiply your desired length in inches by the number of stitches per inch.
If you’re going to knit in the round you will need to do some conversion to the pattern as well. You will need to reverse all the wrong side rows from knit to purl.
Does that help?
Mary Tole says:
So enjoy your demonstrations and this website, thank you. I do have a general question, can most of these stitch patterns be adapted for knitting in the round. I make a lot of hats, socks and mitts in the round and would like to incorporate some of these stiches into my work.
Thanks.
Johnny Vasquez says:
They can. Mostly you’ll need to reverse the wrong side rows. That’s pretty easy for a lot of the stitches, but the lace ones can be a little tricky. We’re working on something called NSAD+ where we’ll offer multiple versions of the stitches for a small monthly fee.
Mary Tole says:
Thank you for your reply. I will be looking forward to NSAD+.

This Crown stitch reminds me of the crocheted Broomstick stitch. Is this the knitted version of it? Secondly, what needles were you using? I notice the tips were quite pointed and I am looking for needles with sharp points.
Lacie Vasquez says:
Yes, this is essentially a knitted version of the crochet Broomstick Lace Stitch so the method of doing it is different but the end product is very similar.
The needles are the Addi Lace Clicks – I absolutely love them!
