Magic Loop

Magic Loop: Knit in the Round with One Circular Needle is a hands-on class where you’ll learn how to knit small circumferences — like socks, sleeves, and hats — using just one long circular needle.

Magic Loop lets you skip traditional double-pointed needles and keep all your stitches on a single circular needle. If you’ve knit hats or simple tubes before but want what many consider an easier, more versatile way to knit smaller rounds, this technique might be for you. You’ll leave with the mechanics of the Magic Loop method and be ready to use it in your own projects.
