Knit with two strands...help!

#1

I am doing a hat pattern with earflaps.

I am just about to start the earflaps. The pattern says:

With 2 strands of yarn, cast on 10 stitches.

So my question is, do I need to make 2 separate balls of yarn for this?
I am using one color and one ball of yarn. How do I do this?

Thanks for help with a probably stupid question. :oops:

You can either roll a ball from your strand and have two. Or you can use each end of the skein you have.

#3

That will actually work taking both strands from the skein.

Cool, hopefully it won’t tangle - I will try it tomorrow.

Thanks! :smiley:

I always thought it would tangle, too, but I’ve been assured by several people that it works out just fine, so I take their word for it.
