Knitting Basics: The Knit Stitch - Combination Method

[oldlockedinthepark]

This video is the best! I learned how to knit from two different people (and am still very much a beginner) and even if it's not what I was taught I feel most comfortable doing what you would call the "english combination knitting". I was watching a video on switching yarn colors and saw how they were knitting and had a very scary moment where I realized I was doing the most simple thing wrong. It took some searching but I found this video and it made me feel much better.

@oldlockedinthepark i picked up knitting on my own from a couple books that might as well have been written in another language... so I had no clue that I was a combination knitter until I started having trouble with the final result of some basic lace work. Much to my chagrin I learned my decreases and increases continental and do the rest of my work combination. I don't know how this is going to fare for me later... still I feel your pain on the scare moment realization.

thank you thank you thank you so much!! i learned how to knit the combined continental way and could never figure out my ssk and k2tog. im kind of a beginning knitter and just knitted my first pattern with decreases in it. i searched all over the internet trying to find out why my decreases were so weird and just followed the continental method videos from ur site. my project came out wrong and i just wrote it off as a beginners learning experience. if only this video had been released earlier!!
