Magic Loop Knitting | How to Knit in the Round Using Magic Loop | Beginners Guide and Easy Tutorial
In this video I give you an overview of knitting in the round using the Magic Loop method and demonstrate an easy way to connect up into the round and knit small circumferences using a long circular needle. I'll be taking you step by step, through the basics, just the way I have taught at workshops.
I show you an easy method for joining your cast on edge in to the round, plus show you how and why I use stitch markers, to help keep track of where you are in the round.
In my previous video I showed how to knit in the round on a circular needle and convert down to using the magic loop method. You'll find this video here: ua-cam.com/video/q-7jEcbPF1o/v-deo.html

I have prevously watched loads of other videos for picking up underarm stitches and they've either been way too complicated, or someone cobbling together a seemingly random selection of stitches badly. Your video is just perfect; instantly understandable, clear directions! Thank you again.
