round

Joining a knitting round is a technique used to connect the ends of a knitted piece to form a continuous loop. This technique is commonly used to create garments such as sweaters, hats, and socks, which require a seamless, tubular shape.

To join a knitting round, the knitter typically uses a yarn needle to pass the working yarn through the live stitches on one end of the piece and then through the live stitches on the other end. This creates a continuous loop of yarn that holds the two ends of the knitting together. Joining a round can also be achieved using a crochet hook or a specific knitting stitch, such as the Kitchener stitch.

Joining in the round is a technique used in knitting to create a seamless, circular fabric. It is commonly used to make items such as hats, socks, and sweaters. There are several different ways to join in the round, but the most common method is the “tail method.”

To join in the round using the tail method, first, cast on the desired number of stitches onto a circular needle or two straight needles. Then, knit one round. On the next round, knit the first stitch, and then slip the next stitch onto the left-hand needle without knitting it. Bring the yarn to the back of the work and knit the next stitch. Slip the next stitch onto the left-hand needle without knitting it, and bring the yarn to the front of the work. Repeat this process until you have knit all of the stitches on the round.
