How to Knit in the Round

How to Knit with Circular Knitting Needles

     Cast on as many stitches as necessary.


     Without twisting your stitches, tightly knit the first stitch you cast on; this is important because if you don't, the place between the stitches will be too loose and it will look bad. :)


     

     Place a stitch marker so that you can find the beginning of the round again. If you don't have stitch markers, safety pins are good substitutes.

How to Knit with Double Pointed Needles

     Cast on all of your stitches onto one needle.


     Evenly distribute the stitches between three or four needles by slipping them purl-wise.



     Being sure not to twist your stitches ( which is pretty hard not to do with DPNs), pick up your remaining needle and, again, tightly knit the first stitch.




     Place a stitch marker to show the beginning of the round.
