Previously, only small things were created by knitting in a circle: mittens, socks, gloves. Recently, many knitters have been experimenting, creating larger clothes in this way: sweaters, skirts. They are easy to understand, because it is not so easy to sew connected halves into a single thing. Today we will learn to knit in a circle, no matter what you decide to knit in this way: a skirt or a regular sock - the knitting mechanism is the same anyway. To knit, you need a ball of yarn and 5 knitting needles. So let's get started! Follow our step by step instructions.
Instructions
Step 1
Fold two knitting needles together and cast as many stitches as you need. It is better to dial in such a number that the number of loops is divisible by 4, because you will be knitting on 4 knitting needles, and it will be better if the number of loops on these knitting needles is equal.
Step 2
After the set of loops, pull out one knitting needle, all loops should remain on the same knitting needle. We needed the second knitting needle so that the dialed loops were free and not tightly tightened when typing.
Step 3
Knit the first row with knit stitches, distributing them over 4 knitting needles. Let's say you have a total of 20 stitches. After knitting 5 loops, take the 2nd knitting needle and knit 5 loops on it, knit 5 loops on the 3rd knitting needle.
Step 4
Knit the last five stitches with the fourth knitting needle. Thus, you should have 4 knitting needles, 5 stitches each. The fifth knitting needle remains free, we will need it for knitting the second and subsequent rows.
Step 5
Combine the knitting in a circle. To do this, take the end of the thread that remains from the set of loops and the thread from the ball, tie them together into two knots. By doing this, you will connect the loops on the first and fourth knitting needles. You now have an even circle of loops.
Step 6
Continue knitting clockwise, knit around the outside of the circle. The front of the knitting should be in front of you all the time. Knit the length you need.
