CONTINENTAL TECHNIQUE Lesson 12.9.2 

Knit 3 stitches together slanting left
with second stitch is always in the center
(decrease 2 stitches)



Changing order of the first and the second stitches

  • This is very common technique for kniting 3 stitches together producing thick knit stitch
  • Slide first and second stitches from left hand needle onto right hand needle 
  • Insert left hand needle into the first stitch at back of work
  • Place your left thumb finger right bellow second stitch to prevent it from sliding
  • Take right hand needle off and place second stitch before first stitch at front of work
  • Knit next 3 stitches together 
  • Use this technique to focus on the decrease in the design, for example when forming a raglan
