Knitting

Knitting enthusiasts will find everything they need to satisfy their love of the craft at Hobby Lobby! We have the knitting needles and supplies you’ll need to complete pieces for yourself and others. Use these versatile tools to create a cozy knit sweater you can give as a gift to friends or family.

Knitting Supplies For Any Skill Level

Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, having the right knitting needles is important for giving your piece a professional look. Choose from our helpful collection that includes both double- and single-point knitting needles. If you prefer knitting in the round, we have circular knitting needles that’ll do the trick. Circular knitting is a great way to work quickly while achieving a seamless finish.

There are also several materials to choose from when finding the right needles. Wood and bamboo knitting needles have a natural finish that will grab slightly at fabric. Metal knitting needles are smoother and allow fabric to slide effortlessly across the needle. Pick out what’s right for your creation, or add both types to your craft room so you’re ready when creativity strikes.

Handy Knitting Accessories

Manage patterns during complex knits with stitch markers. We carry normal sizes for use with traditional yarn and jumbo markers when you break out that chunky yarn. Accessorize by shopping for stitch markers in cute shapes like bees, mushrooms, and flowers.

A tally counter is another handy tool to have around when you’re working through a complicated piece. But what will you create? For items like hats, socks, or even a knit blanket, round knitting looms make knitting crafts approachable for beginners.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I block acrylic yarn?

You can block acrylic yarn using steam, wet, or spray methods, with steam being the preferred option. To steam block acrylic yarn, pin your finished project to a blocking board in the dimensions and shape you want. Use a steamer or steam iron to steam the yarn until it is damp, then let it dry. If using an iron, hover over the yarn, as direct contact with a hot iron risks melting your project.

How do you read a knitting pattern?

The first step to reading a knitting pattern is understanding commonly used abbreviations and symbols. Once you can do that, simply follow the chart or row-by-row instructions on the pattern.

How to count rows in knitting?

How you count rows depends on the stitching pattern used. For a stockinette stitch, find a column of stitches and count the knit stitches, which look like V’s, in that column to determine the number of rows. For a garter stitch, find and count the ridges made by the stitch. Multiply that number by two to get the number of rows.
