Is there a knitting technique to avoid the scrunching of stitches at the finish of a hat?

I made my first hat this weekend and when he told me to destroy the lower the amount of stitches, he said to run at the end of my son through the remaining stitches and pull tight, but he made a scrunched power I do not like. Is there a technique to smooth / round hat?


HI there. I become familiar with the scrunching you talk too much. And I have not had this problem since the first time I tried. Usually, what happens when there are too many points of appeal, or if you try to pull too tight. These 2 cases, both in the result scrunching effect. Especially if the fabric you have knitted is very tender to fill the gaps, dense enterprise, try leaving a small hole at the top of the tip of the hat. it is not bad, I bought a store that has the nut in the hole at the top and it seems fine.Did you try something to see if the "scrunched effect" disappears? What about blocking, running at the end of May because of the garment. Hope this helps, sometimes it is good to know that someone else knows what you mean! I started knitting and quit the same day ... he he ... My frustrations were compounded! Yet, finally solved!

Do any crocheters know how to do the two-hook (not knitting) technique?

If so, would you kindly advise me to some resources either online or in print? A friend wants me to try to duplicate an antique lace pattern. Thanks a million!
Thanks, but I already do Tunisian latest thing. The technique I'm seeking info on uses two separate hooks, but isn't like straight up knitting.


I hold the tool you would need is called a "cro-hook" which has two hooks on either end. I was able to find a resource with instructions for one choosy stitch and that site has a link to another crochet site with more stitch information. Hope this gets you started.
