Knitting in the round

Knit in the round and you won't need any seaming, usually used when making gloves and mittens

Facts & handy tips

"Knitting in the round is great for creating three-dimensional pieces that don’t need to be seamed - perfect for gloves and mittens. This method creates a ‘tube’ of knitting. (We prefer using sets of five double-pointed needles, but you can also use a set of four.) Don't be put off by the amount of knitting needles, it's actually really straight forward!"

Start kniting the stitch closest to the tail.
