CONTINENTAL TECHNIQUE Lesson 7.6.1

Working in rounds: Full circle



  • Cast on 50 stitches using both ends of the needle
  • Free up one end of the needle. Secure this end with needle protector to prevent stitches from sliding.
  • Pull other end of the needle so that all stitches are in the middle of the cord 
  • Distribute all stitches along the cord
  • Bend both ends of the needle into a circle. Both tips of the needle should look like you have 2-double pointed needles and you are going to work back and forth
  • Please, check that stitches are not twisted!
  • Start working as if you use straight needles
  • After about 10-15 stitches are done, move them clockwise so that all stitches are pushed back to the left side needle
  • For the first row, make sure that stitches are not twisted.
  • Continue working and moving stitches clockwise
  • Please, notice that when to move stitches depends on number of stitches. With larger number of stitches you need less times to push 
  • The better quality of needle you are using the smoother your motions would be
