CONTINENTAL TECHNIQUE Lesson 7.5.1

Working in rounds: Full Circle (Traditional Method)


  • Cast on 50 stitches using both ends of the needle
  • Push one end of the needle with right index finger down and pull another end of the needle up
  • Turn the needle so that yarn from the ball is at the front (looking at you)
  • Place a marker next to the yarn from the ball
  • Move stitches almost to the end of the front part of the needle
  • Bend back side needle toward the front side needle
  • Check that stitches are not twisted
  • Bring the yarn over the left index finger
  • Start processing stitches as if you use straight needles
  • Continue processing stitches.
  • Pull right hand needle upward after about 10-15 processed stitches, so that all stitches are pushed back to the left side needle
  • Move stitches with your left hand toward the left side needle. For the first row, make sure that stitches are not twisted.
  • Continue processing stitches and repeat this process
  • Please, notice that when to pull right side needle depends on how many stitches should be processed
  • The more stitches are on the needle the less number of pulls you will be performing
