Learn to knit with a crochet brain. Most crocheters, at some point, become interested in learning how to knit. It can be intimidating with 2 needles and a whole new way to work with yarn. Well, only one of those is true. In this video, I show you how to knit continental style and hold your yarn very similar to crochet. Then, I explain the knit and purl stitch in a way that your crochet brain will understand. Grab your yarn and needles and let's get started!

Ahh. When I’ve seen this style of knitting, it always made the most sense to my brain. You’ve explained why because it makes sense to crocheters!

@eomu1883 2 ай бұрын

Thank u for this. I started crocheting with the notion I would leave knitting off the table after too many failed attempts. One day the micro movements and techniques just clicked to crochet uniformly quicker. A year later I'm confident I can knit. Your video only excites me on the endless projects now at my disposal! 🎉😅❤

I'm sure your instruction is great for how to do knit stitch, etc., but you started with a work in progress. I'm a longtime crocheter for many years and thought this would help me learn continental knitting, but you didn't start with casting on, so I have nothing to go on.

Continental style is indeed very similar with crocheting. I am a crocheter and I wanted to learn how to knit. And now I knit fast in just a few days of practice, thanks to continental style.

Omg, WHY HAVE I NOT FOUND THIS SOONER?! This is exactly what I have been looking for in a knitting tutorial! The explanation of the purl stitch is the most logical explanation I have heard yet, and makes it so much easier to remember! Thank you a million times over! So excited to start knitting with confidence!!

Thank you so much for this video! I've crochet for 5 years and have rage quit every time I've attempted to learn to knit until now! Holding the yarn in my right hand felt so foreign that I'd almost resigned myself to the fact that I'd just never learn to knit until I found this video. I will still need to practice to find my rhythm but at least the tension and grip of the yarn feels right now!

I sat here and did a few rows of knits and purls and I am way faster now because of you. Thanks again and God bless!

I have been crocheting for 7, 8 years. Love it. I tried kitting years ago and gave up. So this year I really want to give it a try again. To the life of me my hands just go not like the English style but the continental style is much easier. It's still hard but its doable. Now to practice,practice and practice more so I can develop hand memory for knitting, I learned crocheting very quickly, but kitting is very challenging for me. I have caught my self trying to do a double crochet while trying to knit.

I was always a knitter (English) but over last 3yrs learnt crochet through KZfaq. I’ve since started a crochet/knit group in church and I’ve found if someone already knits it’s easier for them to learn to crochet holding the yarn like knitting, something my mum always did and wouldn’t even try my way ha. But for complete needlecraft beginners they learn the proper crochet way. Although I tell them there’s no wrong way you just find what’s comfortable for you. I lost my love of knitting when I started crochet but this continental way gives me that wee itch that I need to scratch. Gona hoke out the knitting needles now. Thanks

i just came across your video and i love it. I have been crocheting for 45+years and knitting for almost as long but not continuously. i am a "thrower" in knitting and just recently am trying to learn continental style AGAIN. i found it very awkward to hold the yarn until someone told me it was "okay" to hold it like a crocheter. It made a HUGE difference! still having an issue with tension. when my stitch comes off the needle it seems very loose coming off as opposed to doing it the other way.no one will tell me why it seems to feel so different and why the stitch looks a little different after doing several rows.

"Learn to knit with a crochet brain" !! Brilliant! I've been a crocheter and took up knitting again after barely learning it years ago. I learned continental style - but find that I wrap the yarn the other way around due to the way I grab yarn with the crochet hook (from underneath) It feels impossible to switch to grabbing the yarn the other way around when I knit. However, I figure if the knit and purl are both "backwards' then it cancels out. My knitting comes out looking normal. Thanks so much for a great video.

I'm not really good at either knitting or crocheting but have tried many times and set it aside. Now, I'm determined. I like the continental style and your video helped me catch on to the direction everything has to go. I'm one who's watched all those videos and it's really confusing but, I've decided that I want the stitches to turn out like they do when I throw. Your instructions lead to that result so, although, I hold my yarn a little differently, the direction I pick is the same. Now I want to make the purl stitch a littl simpler. Not sure I can but, here goes. Thanks for posting.

I recently began doing Continental using the Norwegian purl (I’m a crocheter) I usually use English Combination but Continental is so much faster. I found that wrapping the yarn clockwise as I do in crochet is even faster and more comfortable; the only “problem” is that your stitches are mounted “backwards” with the forwards leg one the back of the needle. This just means you knit into the “back” leg so occasionally you have to adjust patterns or flip your stitches such as “ssk” and “k2tog” are flip-flopped. If you are a crocheter or just want to knit faster it would definitely suggest trying the method, although it may require some notation on your patterns.

@smallfootprint2961 6 жыл бұрын

Now, I've got pretty good at purling (pretty good is relative. lol.) I figured out the Norwegian style and it was super awkward at first but, I'm determined to not have to hold my first finger, pointer finger, up in the air and work it back and forth. I don't want to get repetitive motion injuries. Been there. It also means I don't have to move the yarn from back to front to go from knitting to purling. The yarn is always at the back. I also pick my knit stitch off my finger tip of the left hand, so that relaxes the fingers. The Norwegian purl stitch is a miracle, for me. It helps to be able to do it like you do and switch to the Norwegian purl, as it gives the hands alternative ways to move. Can you tell, I'm excited? Haha. Doesn't take much... It's ok to laugh. I'm laughing my head off. I'm also switching back and forth to a crocheting project. Thanks for showing us how you do it.

The hardest time I'm having with learning to knit as a crocheter is moving the fabric down the main needle onto the working needle after I've gotten the yarn through the stitch. The motion of having to push the stitches from one to the other feels very foreign and awkward for me, nearly uncomfortable. Are there any suggestions on how to make it feel more natural? Or is it just a matter of doing it over and over again until it becomes natural? I have the misfortune of being somewhat impatient with these things, so I find myself getting a bit frustrated at times.

@ForeverBlissCrochet 7 жыл бұрын

+Wellington Sodre Jr I think it's a matter of finding the right rhythm for you. When I started, it got quite annoying to have to constantly move the stitches up the needle into working position but I just needed to find the repetitive motion that was acceptable to me.

@ForeverBlissCrochet 8 жыл бұрын

I don't have any more knitting videos since I want to keep this channel for crochet, but VeryPink Knits is a great KZfaq knitting channel. Here is the cast on that I do most of the time (long tail): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLB1mpR9qpzLhoU.html. She has quite the extensive knitting video library there but not much on continental. However, Craftsy.com has an excellent class on continental knitting: www.craftsy.com/class/knit-faster-with-continental-knitting/4912?_ct=iuqhsx-kdyluhiqb-huikbj-sekhiu&_ctp=4912. Enjoy!

Hmmm, I'm just working along doing what you did in the first part of the video, what's supposed to be knit stitch, but both sides of what I've done look like purl... I have no clue. I've done this and pulled it out three times... hope I figure it out bc I want one side to look like knit

@ayelaii 6 ай бұрын

If you do one piece in all one type of stitch, it will look like what you described. If you want your piece to look knitted, you need to do the stockinette stitch, which is where you alternate knit and purl each row. So it'd be like row 1 is knit, row 2 is purl, row 3 is knit, row 4 is purl, and so on.

I have a question, I am new to knitting and have watched a LOT of videos all showing the same basic way to do a knit stitch. I follow them and do exactly what they do, just like your video, but mine do not have that V look. Mine is bumpy and more like a wavy line and I don't understand why. It's not looking bad necessarily but not anything like I want it to look, I want it to look like the ones your are making. Could you tell me what I may be doing wrong?

@ForeverBlissCrochet 5 жыл бұрын

Your stitches may be “twisted”. This means that they are oriented opposite to what is needed to get the V. This varies depending on the knitting method used, but my stitches have the right leg in the front. Check to see if your left leg is in the front. Twisted stitches can happen for different reasons. The most common being how you wrap your yarn to make your purl stitches. Play around with this and see if it helps.

It could be perhaps that you are doing a garter stitch which is knit stitch every row. Where as here she is doing a stockinette stitch which is knit a row purl a row. The front or right side will be all the knit stitches and the wrong side will the side that you purled.

What about casting on? I've learned to knit and crochet at the age of 6. Stopped knitting around the age of 20 but continued to crochet to this day (I found it was faster for me). So it's been over 20+ years since I knitted and I find it difficult to cast on. Do you have any videos on that subject?

@ForeverBlissCrochet 7 жыл бұрын

+Kim Howell I don't have a cast on knitting video but I did find a video for you. I use the long tail cast on and there are many videos on how to do it. This is one that I like: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/apx7mdhy1ZnepJc.html

Don't give up! I've been crocheting since I was 7. It took me a lot of failed attempts to learn to knit, but it was worth sticking with it. I have a video on my channel with some other advice for crocheters on how to knit if you'd like to check it out. :-)

@novaconetta1577 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah you're not alone. I've learned crochet and there is nothing similar to me about crochet and knitting. The one thing I am learning, is that the middle finger plays a large part in moving the yarn to the correct "scooping" place. Still struggling 😔

Fumble Bunny Ive tried continental. Since I’m a crocheter, I can hold the yarn the same way. While throwing, I take my hand off the needle to move the yarn, which I never see on KZfaq. But...my stitches look nice and I enjoy knitting that way. Thank you☺️

I learned to crochet when I was 7 (I'm over 50, now). I've tried many times to learn how to knit, and I've always failed, even trying to knit the continental way I failed. I understand how to make the knit and purl stitch, but somehow my tension is messed up, and no one can figure out how to help me fix it. I have one end that is 'tight' like it's supposed to be, but the other end gets loose. And the more I knit, the looser the one end gets, until my stitches literally fall of the needle. Or the knitting falls apart. No one can seem to recreated what I'm doing, so they can't help me fix it. Would you have any ideas?

@lauradelrey2903 4 жыл бұрын

Have you tried using smaller needles than your yarn recommends? I have a friend who knits very loosely and if she’s using yarn that recommends size 5 needles, she will use a size 3 to get the stitches tight enough. Also, using a chunkier yarn helped me when I was learning because I find it easier to work with. Hope that helps!

@sdmcdaniel2255 4 жыл бұрын

@@lauradelrey2903 See, this is the part that no one seems to understand. It's only the END stitches that get really loose. The body of my stitches are fine, not too tight, not too loose, but the stitches at EITHER END of my work get really loose. And until I can figure out how and why my knitting does that, I can't fix it... which means knitting is just out for me.

What do you mean exactly when you say it falls apart? If I understand the problem better, maybe I can help you. I teach knitting and crochet, but I was a crocheter first.
