how to knit european style

Knitting may be done by hand or by machine. In this brief article we aim to just give a basic understanding of knitting needles, their sizing and what you need to look out for.

Although the new stitch is itself unsecured ("active"), it secures the stitch(es) suspended from it. Although the mechanics are different from casting on, there is a similar variety of methods. The darning needle is useful when tucking in those loose ends if you prefer instead of the crochet hook.

Knitting is an art from ancient times. You will know how to do something that not many people know how to do, but might wish they did. This takes longer to dry and I suggest changing to a dry towel and flipping the sweater over so it dries quicker.

So why make it more difficult for yourself by choosing small size needles and tiny yarn to learn with? When knitting, some knitters enclose their balls in jars to keep them clean and untangled with other yarns; the free yarn passes through a small hole in the jar-lid.

To do a yarn-over after a knit stitch, just bring your yarn across your work from the back to the front. Take your time and understand the information on this site and you will be able to knit anything you want.
