CONTINENTAL TECHNIQUE Lesson 7.2
Working in rounds: 4 double-pointed needles
Advantage of this technique:
> You can cover work of all diameters from the smallest to the largest.
> You always work in rounds in the same direction (with
Magic Loop you have to turn sides and it creates confusion in the beginning)
> You can process small amount of stitches with lots of room for your hands!
> Because your work is divided onto number of needles it allows you to segment your work
and usually you do not need markers because you always know your last needle
Disadvantage of this technique:
> Novice knitter has to use needle protectors to prevent stitches from sliding from the back of the needle.
> Processing first 2 rows can be difficult for novice knitter |
