I never stop being surpriced about this knitting method. Why would anyone want to do it this way? It is so much more work and completely illogical.

I am 71 years old and learned knitting from my grandma this way. I have always wondered why everybody in germany holds the yarn with the left hand and I had it on my right hand. I never managed to change that. And of course I am much slower that everybody else.....:-)

Je suis française et moi aussi je tricote comme Michelle. Je doute un peu du nom "méthode anglaise"...

Incroyable ! J'ai 60 ans et je viens d'apprendre que je tricotais à la methode anglaise ! Je suis comme michèle, je cale mon aiguille droite sous le bras et je tricote aussi vite que la methode continantale. Par contre la methode continantale est plus élégante ...elle fait moins poule LOL Cordialement Sarah...

Several of our most popular patterns (example 146-2, 148-1, 126-1, 150-11) starts in the center of the piece with a few stitches and double pointed needles. It's a bit tricky to get started but gets easier and easier as you increase. Make sure to use markers to show where the increases are made. Keep increasing and work your way out. As the piece grows you continue with a longer and longer circular needle to fit all stitches. In this DROPS Video we show an example from pattern 146-2 on how to do so. REMEMBER - you will also need to read the pattern to be able to follow. To see a pattern with this technique, go to: DROPS 146-2
I knit holding the yarn in the right hand as shown but this video does make it look very awkward and slow. I was taught to hold the right hand needle under my arm with the yarn tensioned by wrapping around the little finger, under the middle two and over the first finger. This way it is possible to knit very quickly.
