How to Join in the Round

How to Make a Knit Stitch
With the American method of knitting the yarn is thrown with your right hand. We find it best to begin this way. As you progress you may want to experiment with other ways of holding the yarn. You may also thread the yarn through your fingers for more tension on the yarn.
If you find yourself wanting to wrap the yarn with your left hand, you may be a "continental" knitter. We will be happy to teach you this method of knitting in-person.
