Knitting at KNoon - Knitting Video © Chris de Longpré, Knitting At KNoon Designs, 2004, All Rights Reserved Working With Double-Point Needles, Part II With the working yarn at the point of the triangle facing toward you, the needle positions are numbered - needle 1, 2, and 3, moving clockwise around the triangle. You begin by working all the stitches on needle 1, onto the free needle. You now have a new free needle and proceed to needle 2, always knitting around clockwise, with the working yarn at the front point and the right side of the fabric facing out. One trick to this is to ignore the two dormant needles. Just let them hang there while you work with the two active needles. The Part III video discusses a common problem faced by knitters new to double-point knitting. |
