Knitting - Basic Knit Stitch (Continental Method)


More free videos available online at www.knittinghelp.com. Continental Method aka German Method sometimes called Left Handed Knitting Officially, anyone who holds the yarn in their left hand is a Continental knitter. Some continental knitters wrap the yarn between the needles to knit it, and some simply scoop, or "pick", the yarn with the needle. The latter requires fewer hand movements, and has a reputation of being the fastest method of knitting there is. This is my preferred knitting method.

I have been knitting for 30 years, and didn't know there were different "styles" of knitting! You showed me that I knit "continental" style. I learned to crochet first. Your videos are very helpful for learning new stitches.

How about giving your 4-year-old some fat (and blunt!!) needles and some nice chunky, comfy thread so they make fast progress...and it's more rewarding for them ;) All you need to knit is the desire to do so, and saying they're too little to try would probably break their heart!! I reckon it's a lovely idea, they'd be so proud and it would teach them perseverance and patience lol!

OMG! My stepmother taught me to knit this way on a visit in Chicago. I was soooo confused when trying to follow anyone else's instruction videos to further my knowledge. THANK YOU SO MUCH!)
