How to Knit Backwards

     Knitting backwards (also known as knitting left-handed) is surprisingly simple! And it is absolutely perfect for those of us who dislike turning the work to make a purl row!

     To begin, cast on ( I did ten stitches) and knit one row. DO NOT TURN THE WORK.

     Insert your left-hand needle into the first stitch (on your right-hand needle) and in front of the back loop.

     Wrap the yarn around your left-hand needle in a counterclockwise fashion.

     Pull the wrapped yarn through the stitch.

     Now pull the old stitch off of the right-hand needle.

     Continue doing this across the row. From now on, all you have to do is knit forwards and knit backwards in alternating rows and you'll get stockinette stitch!
