Hello I have a question regarding double pointed needles. I’m using this pattern: Knitted Bunny
The part I’m confused on is the leg shaping part. When working on double pointed needles, how do I go from working on 24 stitches to only 12 stitches? Thanks!
You’ve been knitting the body on 24sts. Now you’re going to work on the first 12 sts for one leg. and hold the send 12sts for the second leg. Knit across 12sts and place the remaining 12sts on a holder. Distribute the 12sts on 3 double points and join to work this first leg in the round. When you finish, you’ll go back to the held sts for the second leg.
Okay thank you! I’m assuming for the 2nd leg I join a new ball of yarn right? Thank you!
Yes, you’ll gather the sts from leg one, tighten up and secure, then cut the yarn leaving a tail to weave in. Start a new end of yarn for leg 2.
Great thank you for all your help!!
