Quick Tips for Circular Knitting<br />

••<br />

The advantage to knitting sweaters in<br />

the round is that there are no seams<br />

to sew. However, side seams can help<br />

to stabilize a garment and encourage<br />

it to hang vertically without twisting<br />

or torquing to one side or the other. To<br />

ensure against this tendency, work the<br />

center underarm stitch in a different<br />

stitch pattern, such as garter stitch<br />

(alternate between knitting and purling<br />

these stitches every round), reverse<br />

stockinette stitch (purl these stitches<br />

every round), or slip stitch (slip these<br />

stitches every other round), to cause a<br />

break in the pattern and encourage the<br />

body to hang straight.<br />

••<br />

Sometimes a vertical line of loose<br />

stitches develops at the boundaries<br />

between double-pointed needles.<br />
