Quick Tip: Knitting Backwards

Mary Beth Temple
Duration:   2  mins

Description

Knitting backwards is a great technique to learn if you like to do projects that require turning the work after a small amount of stitches – entrelac, bobbles, and short rows to name a few. Once you get the hang of knitting backwards, perhaps you would like to try a technique like entrelac knitting which gives the appearance of small squares or rectangles, but the fabric is created all in one piece.

    A great video, thank you. How would you knit backwards if you are a continental knitter?

    Excellent, thank you! Very handy as I am doing short rows currently on a sweater.
