We teach Continental knitting technique because:
  • It is the most efficient way of using your hands and shoulders while you are knitting.
  • You will not be tied to a required needle size because you will be controlling your own gauge.
  • Generally this is the fastest knitting technique even though we believe that speed is not an important factor in knitting.

    Crochet is very similar to continental knitting. You will see the similarity in holding hands, inserting the needle or crochet hook and drawing the yarn through the stitch as you watch these videos.
     

    ENJOY!
