In this video I want to show you everything I know about knitting in the round on doublepointed knitting needles and how to get started as a beginner. In the past two years, I received so many questions concerning knitting on dpns and I thought it's about high time to incorporate all these into one cohesive video. I am knitting with a set of 5 dpns, as I feel it's a bit easier and neater in the long run. I show you how to cast on in the round for doublepointed knitting needles, how to join in the round, and how to manage your needles as you knit across. There are also little tips and tricks, and alternative techniques accompanying every little step. enjoy.
