Knitting styles

Knitting styles refer to the different methods and techniques used to create knitted fabrics. The two main styles are English and Continental. In the English method, the yarn is held in the right hand, and the knitter uses a looping technique to form stitches. In the Continental style, the yarn is held in the left hand, and the stitches are formed with a pick-and-catch motion. Other variations include Eastern European and thrown styles, each with unique approaches and cultural influences. Knitters may choose a style based on comfort, speed, or the specific project they are working on.
