Learn About Continental Knitting

By Ken Roberts 14 April, 2023 2 mins read

Continental knitting is a great option if you love to knit with yarn and a needle. It is also known as European knitting, German knitting or left-hand knitting. This technique is very similar to knitting in the traditional left-hand position, but it is quite different. The article below explains more about continental knitting and the various styles.

German knitting

German knitting, also known as continental knitting, is a left-handed style of knitting. It is the fastest way of knitting and is commonly used for making garments. It uses a hooking technique to knit, which is faster and more efficient.

European knitting

European knitting, also known as continental knitting, is a type of left-handed knitting. It is a well-known style that has been used in many countries for hundreds of years.

Norwegian knitting

Norwegian knitting dates back 16 centuries. It is a traditional technique for knitting blankets, coats, and sweaters. This style is extremely popular among women, and it is a great way to express yourself.

Portuguese knitting

If you're a skilled knitter and are proficient in continental knitting, it might be worth switching to Portuguese knitting. There are many benefits to this style of knitting. For starters, it requires less hand movement. This will allow you to knit faster. This method is also great for people with arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome. This method prevents tension in the hands.

Shetland knitting

Unique to the Shetland knitting process is its use of a horsehair-leather pad. This pad is worn on the right hip or waist. The horsehair, pad and double-point needle are held in place by the horsehair. It is also called a "makin belt."

Norwegian purl

Although there are many differences in Continental knitting, the purl stitches is the most significant. Norwegian purl is a variation of English standard purl. You can knit with yarn on either the back or the front of your needles using Norwegian purl. This is a popular style among Continental knitters. It is a great way to learn how to purl faster.
