KNITFreedom - How To Knit Garter Stitch In The Round Without Purling



Closeup of multicolor garter stitch in the round

When you knit garter stitch in the round, you normally need to alternate between knit and purl rounds.

I use a special trick called the wrap-and-turn so that I don’t ever have to purl when I do garter stitch in the round. Here’s how to do it.




Instructions

The secret is to do a wrap-and-turn on the first stitch of every round, then go back the other way, knitting, of course. This is also great practice for advancing your basic Magic Loop skills.
