Hi Knitters,
I have a quick 4 minute video tutorial for the Marley Topper today. I received a few requests for this tutorial so I hope this helps. For an added bonus I am joined today by my carrot-loving helper!
This hat topper can be used on any simple hat or the multi-colored hats in the book. Another idea would be to just make an extra-long strand in one color and wind that up in one piece to put on the hat. You could also put this topper on a store-bought hat or a fleece hat or maybe you could try knitting in wool and felting it to see what you get. Have fun with it!
best, susie

Very cute! I love that you are doing the video's! They are great!
That is so funny. I was doing mine different, wasn't wrapping them together like this before I put it on. Cool! I'll have to try it this way next time.
Thanks for the great tutorial!

Your daughter is so darn cute! :)
I was borrowing your itty bitty book so much from the library that I finally went out and bought myself my own copy! I just finished a marley hat and had been putting off starting the topper so perfect timing as now it is all crystal clear what to do.
Thanks.
I just LOVE your videos Susan, you make things look much clearer and make me want to knit all the hats I see you doing. OK, next up - picot edge right ;-) I'm dying to make that little chick hat.
Thanks for the time you take to do all this.

This was sooo timely. I was completing the sweet pea hat with the vine and needed to see how this was done. So I grabbed my needles and yarn, got comfortable in front the the computer - play - pause - play - pause. I was laughing to myself because you are a super FAST knitter and it took me so long to do that. But THANK YOU for the video. I'm such a visual learner.
Hooray! i just went on Ravelry looking for help with this - & someone had posted this link on her project page. Totally clears up my issues (my strands were so twisty I didn't realize that what the book calls the "bottom row" of the tail is actually the long backbone-like thing & not just the 1st 8 stitches). Makes complete sense now.
LOVE your work, Susan! Thanks!
Thank you so much for the demo! I was making it entirely too complicated! My granddaughters love their Marleys and can't wait for me to start on the Rosebud Wreath hats!
THANK YOU! I am such a visual learner and even after reading and rereading the pattern I was stuck. It makes complete sense to see this in action. Thanks again. A wonderful tutorial! Keep them coming!!
