    I see your row gauge is 5 rows = 1 inch -- what is the stitch gauge?
    5 rows per inch is

    Normal worsted st. st. gauge is in the area of 5 sts and 6 1/2 rws per inch on a 4 1/2 mm (US 7) knitting needle.

    I meant to say 5 rows per inch is a bit loose for worsted wt. yarn.

    I'm new to knooking. Just started about 3 days ago I was wondering what is the magic co ring in this pattern? Is it hard to convert a normal knitting pattern to knooking? I also tried knitting. I can crochet but I am too clumsy with the knitting needles. Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Sorry for just getting back with you. If you crochet it is similiar to magic ring in crochet except you knit around the loop by this I mean (hopes this make sense)*pull up a loop on ring, chain 1 on loop just made*, continue * * until you have as many starting knits as you need.

    I am wondering...how do you knit 2 into one stitch? I have tried a couple of different ways, and I get big holes. How did you do it?

    Thank you thank you thank you! I was kinda sad that my knook book didn't come with directions for hats, as that is my favorite thing to make. I'm obviously going to have to get your book next. ;) I am dying for a beret pattern, I haven't look around much here yet, but if you don't have a pattern for one, might I request/suggest it? Thank you for all the wonderful goodies!

    Hello! I am an avid crocheter and knitter, but am baffled by the knook...how will it work in place of dpn's? I knit 'socks for soldiers' and 'knitted knockers'. I would love to try to knook these items since I am sooooo much faster at crocheting (35yrs experience and counting). Any suggestions?

    This is the first time I have ever heard of knooking and can't wait to give it a try. I used to be able to knit but since taking up crochet I find it hard to knit. Can't wait to give it a go.

    I didn't have the money for the knook tool, so I made my own. I just taped a shoelace to the bottom of my desired crochet hook and walah! Works just fine. I love to crochet and used to knit a very long time ago, but have not got the skills for both needles due to medical issues with my hands. So I just finished my first scarf knooking and I love it.

    Ok im like a master crotcheter suck at knitting got a knook then realized doing this you end up with a tight circle you have to “cast off” a few stitches at a time. MIGHT work with a big needle super loose and sloppy otherwisw nonsense unless you have a circular knook which defeats the purpose. Just do a single crochet tobaggon lol
