Working in rounds: 4 double-pointed needles


  • Bring the third needle very close to the first needle and connect all stitches into a circle
  • Form the first stitch on the first needle very close to the last stitch on the third needle
  • Continue working in rounds clockwise
  • Check that stitches are not twisted on first, second and third needles
  • Take the needle protector off the first needle and place it on the third needle
  • Continue working in cicles clockwise always taking the protector from the next needle and placing it back onto the previous needle


  • Using needle protectors is recommended for novice knitters.As you getting experienced using needle protectors is optional
  • You can simplify this method by casting on all stitches on the first needle, work for 2-3 full rows and only then divide all stitches onto three needles
