English knitting

English knitting is a traditional technique where new stitches are formed by inserting the right needle into the front of the stitch on the left needle and wrapping the yarn around the right needle. This creates a series of loops, or “knits,” that build up the fabric. It’s a straightforward method often used by beginners due to its clear, step-by-step process. The pattern is typically knit row by row, producing a smooth, evenly textured fabric. English knitting is versatile, making it popular for many projects, from scarves to sweaters, and is the foundation for other knitting styles.
