Note: I earn a small commission for purchases made through links in this article. Before you can start, you obviously need to buy a needle set first. I have a big guide on the best knitting needles for beginners here, but it doesn’t really touch DPNS, so I’m doing it here. I personally always knit with the Knitter’s Pride Karbonz needles. They are ...
To begin, cast on as many stitches as your pattern requires using a single needle of your set. You don’t need any special cast-on techniques for knitting in the round. The longtail cast-onis just right for most projects, but use whatever you prefer. You start a round project the same way you would if you knit flat. There are just two things you nee...
In the next step, you need to distribute the stitches to the 4 needles. A needle set always comes with 5 needles. One is the working needle, and the rest can be used to hold the stitches. So, pick up one needle, and then slip 1/4th of the stitches on this needle as if to purl. Insert the left needle into the stitch from right to left. But now, don’...
Now it’s time to join the stitches in the round. The first time you are doing this, this will feel a bit like juggling. Your needles may even slide out. The first rounds are always a bit fiddly – even for me. So, don’t let that discourage you. Just follow my advice here. Put the four needles in front of you and arrange them so they form a square.Ta...
You already have a joined circle (or rather square) of stitches in front of you. So, pick up the working yarn, and make sure it’s in the right place (so, probably in the back if you are doing a knit stitch) and you didn’t accidentally twist it around. If the yarn got tangled in between the needles, free it first with one hand while holding on to yo...
Once you’ve knit all the stitches on the first needle, it’s time to rotate your project around. You should have one free needle by now and you can use it to start on the next (that would be the second) needle the way you would normally start a new row if you were knitting flat. Before you do that, you should move around the needles so your working ...
From here, the process is pretty straightforward.Just continue switching to new needles as described in step 5.So, every time you have to start with a new needle, move the new working needle to the top and the working yarn around (in case you’ve caught it with a needle). Once you’ve finished the first round (so after needle four), you may place a s...
Most tubular projects don’t need a bind-off. Often you will be working towards a tip (like in socks or hats). So, in essence, you are decreasing your stitch count to a point where there are so few stitches left, that you can simply use a tapestry needle, thread the yarn through the stitches, and tie a knot/weave in the end. For wraps or headbands, ...
