Working in the Round: Knitting in Circles Without the Frustration
Working in the round sounds more complicated than it is. No seams, no turning your work, just knitting in a continuous circle until your project is done. Once it clicks it’s actually one of the more satisfying ways to knit.
Getting there takes a little practice. Joining without a twist, keeping track of your rounds, and fixing mistakes when you can’t just flip your work over are the parts that trip people up. That’s exactly what the tutorials on this page are for.
Hats, cowls, sleeves, socks, seamless sweaters. Most of the best knitting projects are worked in the round. Learn the basics here and a whole category of projects opens up.
