I want to knit adorable kids fingerless gloves but I am a beginner and don’t know how to knit with a double needle. Can I need with a straight needle for this pattern.

I’m afraid you will need to find a pattern that knits flat in order to do that. You can try this pattern of mine: https://kiwiyarns.wordpress.com/2011/10/05/free-pattern-the-easiest-wrist-warmer-gloves/ It is easily adapted to suit a child’s hands.

Hi there. I have bought some Zealana Cozi yarn but have found that with my usual sock pattern it is knitting up much bigger than with other sock yarns. I don’t want to go down a needle size (am using 2.25mm) as this will be too difficult to work (as you say on your blog post about Cozi). I was wondering what sock pattern you used for your Cozi socks and how they turned out? Thanks

Hi Susi, I would suggest that you reduce the number of stitches you use. For example, if you are knitting plain vanilla socks, and you normally cast on 64 stitches, my suggestion is that 60 stitches would be plenty. If the socks are really huge, you could risk going down to 58 (just be aware that 58 stitches won’t work with 2 x 2 ribbing on the cuff, you’ll have to work 1 x 1 ribbing). The pattern I knit is my own, and will be released soon. I used the method I’ve just explained to you in them. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the suggestion – will give it a go. And I look forward to seeing your pattern!
