Starting Out: Cast-On & Transitional Bands
Meet popular instructor Lorilee Beltman and start by reviewing the yarn and tools that work best for Continental projects. Then, tackle the provisional cast-on, pick up tips for transitioning between differing stitch counts and find out how to use yarn markers to keep track in your work.
Slipping Stitches: Tunisian & Linen
The beautiful Tunisian knit stitch is loaded with yarn overs and slipped stitches, and knitting it Continental style lets you streamline all the steps! Find out how to knit this luscious texture with Lorilee. She shares the basics, then demonstrates a classic linen-stitch pattern in three colors.
Mosaic Knitting
Make mosaic stitch faster and easier with Continental knitting! This classic colorwork style only knits one color at a time, slipping stitches after the yarn is brought forward or back. Lorilee will show you how to work it in Continental and help you troubleshoot along the way.
Textured Solids: Cables & More
Explore rich textures such as cables to make your knitting pop! Lorilee guides you through cabling without a cable needle or ever having to let go of your yarn. Then, discover some Gansey-style stitch patterns that are achieved by simply switching back and forth between knits and purls. When knit in Continental style these patterns work up faster than ever!
Vertically Stranded Colorwork & Lace
Find out how Continental knitting makes vertically stranded colorwork and even colorwork lace easier. Lorilee shows you how to work your main color entirely by picking, throwing in the occasional contrast stitch as you go. Then, get some practice with your cowl’s colorwork lace motif to hone your yarn overs, increases and decreases.
Stranded Colorwork & Finishing
In the standard style, stranded colorwork requires both of your hands to work together. But in the Continental style, your free hand provides added control for faster, more approachable stranding. Follow along for a step-by-step breakdown before Lorilee walks you through grafting the ends of your cozy new cowl together.
