Wow! Now I can finish the scarf I started in 1982!

I'm an avid crocheter (mostly amigurumi and some wearables) but I love the way knitting looks! I've tried it a few times and have the basic stitches down, but it's so excruciatingly slow and easy to make a mistake. I think this will be really helpful! Now I need to learn how to troubleshoot knitting mistakes...it's so much easier to take out one crochet stitch or a row of stitches compared to knitting!

Ahh this makes sense! I am a crocheter and I always love the stitches that most closely resemble knitting. But I think with this tutorial I can just actually KNIT something. Thanks!

My 10 year old daughter decided to teach herself how to knit🤷‍♀️ (nobody in my immediate or extended family does) so I bought her some needles and this seems to be the easiest but most clear set of instructions to follow. I much appreciate this video. Thank you so very much. 😍

I learned to crochet first. My great-grandmother--Nana--taught me when I was around 8 or 9. I crocheted off and on for years until I learned to knit at the age of 11 or 12 at a library class. The way that I knit is just like you described! I thought that I had made something up because I was doing it differently than the other people I saw and the books I read. It wasn't until recently that I was told that I was knitting in a way that was "okay". The lady called it the German style.

this is by far the best way i’ve seen to cast on… everyone else makes it such a long process but this simplifies it so much! Thanks!

This looks like the perfect solution for how I could learn to knit!!! Thank you!! I have been a crocheter for several years now and just haven't been able to crack knitting at all. Exactly as you stated the muscle memory is far more comfortable with my yarn in my left hand!! Thank you for posting!!!

tried knitting when I was a child but ended up preferring crochet, guess what? I am sixty and have tried knitting English style as I was taught, but didn't enjoy it so decided to watch your videos and yay I love the way you knit and purl continental style and am enjoying it immensely; I am starting to get a bit faster and my tension is good, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for your very clear instructions.

thank you for this video! ive been crocheting for years (self taught) and have tried to teach myself to knit but my hands felt so awkward with two needles and holding the thread. your video is so easy to follow and such a great pace for me. thank you! ♡

My grandmothers taught me to crochet as a child. I have always wanted to knit and began to learn a few years ago. This makes so much sense to me! Thanks for helping me to use my crochet-brain and muscle memory to transition into a new skill.

Wow! I never heard of continental style knitting, cool! I'm one of those people that has been crocheting for years - it's so much easier for me than knitting. It looks like this is something I should try. Thank you for sharing this interesting technique.

My first intermediate crochet pattern, I got from you. Now you've shown me how to knit. I'm off to buy a couple more patterns from you. Thank you so much!

I literally said "Oh!" when I saw you hold the yarn in your left hand! I'm a crocheter and one of the hardest parts of knitting for me has always been holding the yarn in my right hand. I'm so excited to try this!

This is the absolute BEST video to learn knit stitch I've tried. After giving up on how the 'toss your yarn over' knitting style, because it ALWAYS looked messy to me, this works! I can crochet most anything, with any size hook, and Tunisian is a breeze, but really wanted to learn to knit. Now I am off to try your triangle start...woo-hoo!!

Wow! Suddenly I can knit!! SO helpful. Thank you.

As a crocheter this helps a ton thanks alot!

It's really easy to follow along, your instructions are very clear! :)

Jessica, what a great idea. I’m trying to learn to knit (I’m a crocheter as well) and find continental makes more sense for us crocheters too. I think it may be because we are used to touching the yarn more than not. The other way seems like so much extra work. I can’t wait to try your way. Thanks for posting this video!😊

Thank you so much! As a crocheter, knitting has been a crazy kind of chaos that I’d try and give up on repeatedly over the years. Stuck in bed after an injury with lots of yarn and the resolve that I’m GOING to finally figure this out, and with your awesome video, I’m super quickly doing it! 🎉 It wasn’t even frustrating after watching your instruction! Many, many thanks!

I’m struggling so bad I want to cry.

This was so helpful! I’m a crocheter who’s starting to get the knitting bug. Other vids have suggested to me that continental style might work for me. I hope you do more on this line. New sub, by the way. Thanks!

My only question: is it really worth trying? 😂 Haha, I'm very content in crochet land and afraid that struggling with knit will mess up my stride... 😂 Great video. Someone tried to teach me knitting once, and I don't know who failed worse, her or me 😂

Wow thank you so much ! Very very helpful.

This helped me a lot! Thank you!

I had such a hard time trying to knit and this is exactly how I figured out I could do it! lol. I can't get any other stitches though. Great video!

This really helped me with "strangle it" part of knitting My only question left is how am i supposed to Scoop the yarn up with a smooth blunt stick? I keep failing and failing at this part

THANK YOU SO MUCH ! YOU TEACHDE ME HOW TO DO IT

absolutely perfect

the biggest struggle is trying to figure out how to keep the yarn on the needle 😭it’s a list cause

Great video!

Oh, I wish I had learned it this way as a kid. I favor crocheting, and I awkwardly taught myself how to knit. I just can't get this, lol! I'll keep trying 😊

I sort of taught myself how to knit, using one of those knitting for beginner books (I've been crocheting for decades). I do use the continental style of knitting, because that's what I'm used to for crocheting. I also know Tunisian Crochet. I know how to cast on, I know how to do the knit stitch, and how to do the purl stitch, but I have developed a peculiar tension problem that NO KNITTER( and I have asked quite a few that have been knitting for years!) has been able to figure out, or help me fix. I'm hoping maybe you can, since you are a crocheter that also knits. What I have noticed, as I'm knitting along, is the length of yarn BETWEEN each stitch gets longer and longer. I try to tighten my stitches to compensate, but it doesn't really work. By the time I get to the last stitch in my row, the last loop on my needle is somewhere between double to triple the size of the other loops of the previous stitches. For the life of me (and every other knitter I've met), I can't figure out how, or why this happens. Do you have any ideas? If I need to, I can make a video of my knitting attempts, for you to watch, once I figure out how to upload to KZfaq! And thanks for any assistance you can give me!

do you have a video/tutorial on how to crochet if you're a knitter? i find it very difficult to wrap my head around. Thanks, love your blankets and sweaters

Muchas gracias! Llevaba años sin entender cómo tejer con palitos 😂

The yarn you use is beautiful, what brand is it?

THAT'S SO COOL😲 2:53

I crochet everyday and have tried knitting a few times and couldn’t get the hang of it. I’m going to try again using your video.

So do u always need 2 keep a long length of yarn out for the tail for however many cast on stitches there will be?

This was very easy to understand but will this work if I do it the other way?? (I mean use my left hand??) I need a tutorial like this for left handed people 😅

I have been crocheting for many years, and with all the different types of yarn I have bought, kept etc. I want to try and knit. After watching this video; I think I can do it. But now I need some needles! What do you recommend? I seen so many different sizes at the shop. I don't know what to get. I'd like to make beanies or wash cloths.

TY SO MUCH

do you think you could make wearables that are written in a normal way with this continental style?

Great video! What size needles would you recommend for a blanket?

This is great but how do you finish it off?

IM CONFUSED! In the second part of the continental style thing am I supposed to be pulling from the tail or did I do it wrong?

I have souch trouble with the Purl and more specifically, a rib stitch. Can you demonstrate that? I would be so grateful!

Your video is way better then any others. Wow they talk to much. This is very helpful I only crochet and this video is great!

My sides look like perl stitches. I can't get the vs

my needle keeps falling out at 3:17, it just doesnt create a loop under

I've crocheted since I was like 8 or 9. I'm 30 now and I give up. Knitting is so not my thing lol I just can't get my brain to figure this out lol

Do you happen to have a video on How to Crochet if you're a Knitter?

this is the video for me lol

When starting project how do you know how long to make the non working yarn? Do you understand what I’m talking about?

My needle can't grab it 😩😭

So how do you do stitches like slip slip knit with this technique.

yea it doesn't grab like that :(

How are we supposed to finish it at the end this is horrible

Help why do I have 6 loops I'm so lost 😭

Oh dear, I give up. They made us do knitting in 3rd grade elementary school and I could never get it. Needless to say I hated it. Now, over 30 years later I thought "Maybe I should give it another try. It's a good skill to have", but nope, haha, I'm out. I will never get this and have no interest in it. The loom is better for me. Good video though.

Um... so, I really wanted to try this, but I didn't have any needles, and it was 10:30 pm so I couldn't go to a craft store, so I just grabbed some well sharpened pencils and some yarn... I'm not sure how what else to say now.

I crochet first. Today I just got knitting tools...just realised I am knitting wrong....maybe? Is there a wrong way to knit????

This didn’t help at all. The whole video was confusing and I didn’t understand a thing at all and I’ve been crocheting for a year.

I tried to follow your video but got extremely frustrated. You don’t explain a lot of the motions you are doing, and so I just kept having to pause every single frame to watch your hands and see what to do. And then when it got to the second needle, the yarn kept coming off of mine and I couldn’t figure out why because your video didn’t explain what you were doing 😭 I know this is a 7 year old video, but it honestly frustrated me so much I want to give up on ever learning to knit

its me Jessica ari if they touch me they sorry pull up in a Ferrari and make ...........

Why does it look backwards?? I don't like knitting, it is not relaxing at all and this looks so much more complicated, worrying how you hold her yarn, etc. Give me crocheting any day!!

Bro u are so fricken confusing
