circular knitting techniques

Circular knitting involves creating fabrics in a continuous tube using a special machine or needles arranged in a circle. This technique allows for seamless, rounded pieces like hats, socks, or sweaters without seams. The yarn is fed through the center of the circle, and as the knitting progresses around, the stitches are formed in a circular pattern. This method is efficient for producing rounded or tubular items and enables rapid, uniform knitting, reducing the need for sewing or joining pieces afterward. It's widely used in manufacturing and by hand for items requiring a smooth, seamless appearance.
