What is the different between circuler knit and flat knit?
Something that is a circular knit is knotted on a circular needle and has no seems. Something that is a flat knit is knotted on separate needles and the pieces of the garment have to be sewn together at the end.
Can you knit a hat with straight needles?
You can if you seam up the side and it it is a great thing to do for beginners when you have the right pattern, which is the difficult part. Alternatively, if you do not wish to use circular needles you can use DPNs (double pointed needles) to knit in the round. Often in hat patterns which use circular needles you will need DPNs anyway, so it is good to have some of these when you knit in the round.

Is it possible to knit 20 stitches of 3 ply wool on circular needles?

How do you cast off-using circular needles?
Circular needles word the same way as regular needles. The cast on, and the cast off, and the knit and purl are all done exactly the same way. Just follow the directions on your pattern, or do the way you always have.
Can you knit socks on circular needles?
Yes. If you have regular sized circular needles, you'll do better with two at a time. There are now circular needles for smaller projects that work really nice on tight spaces or tiny projects. Still I recommend double pointed needles to make socks. because it will be easier to handle the markers for the decreases and the heel if you are making it with short row.
When knitting with circular needles how do you twist a stich when knitting in the same direction?
Since most knitting is done by using a pattern, you need to follow the directions you are given. Most patterns will tell you to knit around, or back and forth, depending on the end result desired. If you want a sleeve that is already round (with no seams), you knit around and around. If you want a flat finished piece to sew into a seam, or use flat (such as a placemat)go back and forth.
Why knit with two circular needles in the round instead of just one?
Just as when you change needle sizes using straight needles to give the effect you want -- you can change needle sizes when working in the round, to give the effect you want.Doubling up two needles at the same time would give you a looser knit and could prove cumbersome.
What can you knit with a pair of nine knitting needles?
You can knit anything you like.
Can you use round needles in place of double pointed needles of the same size?
Note: round needles are almost always called circular knitting needles. In some cases, circular needles will work just as well as double pointed needles. But more often than not, only double pointed needles will work. Why? With double pointed needles, one can knit with as few stitches as they want. This makes them ideal for knitting the tops of hats, which are decreased to a very few number of stitches, and other items where few stitches are knitted. However, if one is knitting with a large number of stitches, then circular needles will work fine, maybe even better, but circular needles have a "minimum stitch limit." Thus, they only work if the pattern works with lots of stitches. So in order to figure out whether circular knitting needles will work for your pattern, read through the instructions, and determine the point at which there will be the least number of stitches on the double pointed needles. Try to estimate the lowest number of stitches that will work comfortably on the circular needles, and decide if the stitches in the pattern will fit on the circular needles.
