How to knit in the round on two circular needles
When you knit a smaller piece in the round like a sock or a cuff, and you don't want to use or you don't have double pointed needles, you can knit in the round using two circular needles.
Cast on with one circular, divide sts by moving half the sts to another circular. Pull needles through to the side where you have the working yarn. Make sure sts on round are not twisted when joining. Start knitting sts on the needle not attached to working yarn. Always make sure to tighten first stitch on needle. Knit with the same needle as the worked sts are on, let the other needle rest.

Met 1 rondbreinaald kan men in motief breien? Of heb je hier 2 maal een rondbreinaald nodig.
02.02.2014 - 07:34Hoi Michou. Ja, als je deze of de "magic loop" techniek gebruikt dan kan je zeker de mouwen op een rondbreinaald breien.
17.06.2013 - 12:02Kan ik die naalden ook gebruiken voor patroon 96-3 in plaats van sokkenbreinaalden ? Want die naalden zien er super tof uit !
