(light music)

2
00:00:03,338 --> 00:00:05,130
- Lots of things get knit flat which means

3
00:00:05,130 --> 00:00:07,902
you work them back and forth and then all the different

4
00:00:07,902 --> 00:00:10,546
pieces of fabric that are made get sewn together,

5
00:00:10,546 --> 00:00:12,608
but sometimes it's a lot easier and better

6
00:00:12,608 --> 00:00:16,143
to just knit a tube of fabric, to knit it in the round

7
00:00:16,143 --> 00:00:18,898
and then it doesn't have to get sewn up at the end.

8
00:00:18,898 --> 00:00:21,937
Socks, for instance, always get knit in the round.

9
00:00:21,937 --> 00:00:24,868
It's really much better than having to have a seam somewhere

10
00:00:24,868 --> 00:00:26,896
in the leg of your sock, that would be uncomfortable.

11
00:00:26,896 --> 00:00:30,307
Hats of course also, are obviously something that are good

12
00:00:30,307 --> 00:00:33,003
to knit in a circle to make a tube out of.

13
00:00:33,003 --> 00:00:34,793
When you knit in the round there's two different ways

14
00:00:34,793 --> 00:00:38,521
to do it, one is using a circular needle like this

15
00:00:38,521 --> 00:00:42,186
and the other is using double pointed needles.

16
00:00:42,186 --> 00:00:43,671
I'm gonna show you how to do both.

00:00:43,671 --> 00:00:46,171
