Advice

  • You can also knit straight, flat pieces with circular needles.Just don't join the stitches and turn the work after each row.
  • Here is the list of stitches and how to do them when working in a circle:
    • Garter stitch:one straight row, one purl row.And repeat.
    • Jersey stitch:straight across all needles.
    • Reverse jersey stitch:purl for all rows.
  • You can also work in a circle with double pointed needles.Try both methods and see which one you prefer.
  • Remember, when working in a circle, never turn the work.
  • If your needles are too large for the project you want to make, they will pull the thread and your finished project won't be very pretty.Check out the self-propelled stitch or magic ring method, which allow you to knit small items with long circular needles.
