How to Holding Needles and Yarn when Knitting
Holding Needles
If you are a knitting novice, you will need to discover which is the most comfortable way for you to hold your needies.
Pick up the needies, one in each hand, as if you were holding a knife and fork—that is to say, with your hands lightly over the top of each needie. As you knit, you wil tuck the blunt end of the right-hand needie under your arm let go with your hand, and use your hand to
manipulate the yarn, returning your hand to the needie to move the stitches along.
Now try changing the right hand so you are holding the needle as you would hold a pen, with your thumb and forefinger lightly gripping the needle close to its pointed tip and the shaft resting in the crook of your thumb. As you knit, you wil not need to let go of the needie but simply slide your right hand forward to manipulate the yarn.

As you knit, you work stiches off the left hand needle onto the rifht needle, and the yarn needs to be held and tensioned to produce even fabric. Use either your right or left hand, depending on the method you use to make stitches.
To knit and purl in the Continental style (see pages 115 and 116), hold the yam in your left hand. This method is sometimes easier for left-nanded people to use, though many left-handers are quite comfortable knitting with the yam in their right hand. Try the ways shown to find out which works best for you.
To hoid the yarn tightly (above ríght), wind it right ‘around your little finger, under your ring and míddle fingers, then pass t over your index finger, which wil manipulate
theyam.
For a looser hold (above left), fold your litte, ring, and middle fingers over the yarn, and wind it lwice around your index finger.
To knit and purl in the US/UK style (see pages 115 and 116), hoid the ya in your right hand. You can wind the yarm around your fingers in different ways, depending on
how tightly you need to hold it to achieve an even gauge (tension). Try both ways shown to find out which works best for you.
To hold the yarn tightly (above right), wind it right ‘around your líttle finger, under your ring and middie fingers, then pass it over your index finger, which will manipulate the yam.
For a looser hold (above left), catch the ya between your lite and ring fingers, pass it under your middie finger, then over your index finger.
