[Knitting] Knitting Backwards

[Copy link]
Post time 2015-3-28 00:51 | Show all posts |Read mode
for some reason some people hat purling. or maybe they dont want to do a lot of turning their work when dealing with a small knitting project, or turning a lot as you would have to do in Enterlac knitting.
so lets see if i can explain this so you can understand it. i havent done this as yet. I dont have a problem with purling and i havent tried enterlac either.

1. after knitting a row. instead of turning, leave your work facing you. Insert the left needle into the loop leaving it behind the right needle.

2. wrap your yarn around, back to frount and pull through the stitch. taking the remain loop of the right needle.

here is another explanation.

        Hold yarn in your right hand.         
          Insert left-hand needle into stitch from row you just finished, inserting          needle from the front (left) toward the back (right).         
           The left-hand needle will be behind the right-hand needle.           
            To knit stitch, bring yarn over left-hand needle (lifting yarn up and            over the top of the needle)            
            Back left-hand needle out of stitch from previous row,  being very             careful not to drop newly created stitch.            
            Slide stitch from previous row off  right-hand needle.


i hope you found this informative and usefull.

Have never heard about such method. Seems quite difficult if you are not both right and left handed...

Not true. You can do this as an English knitter or a continental knitter and you can also purl backwards as an English knitter or a continental knitter.  Details Reply Post time 2022-5-29 06:33
