Learn to knit Continental styleContinental style knitting means that you wrap the yarn using your left hand. I find that it flows more naturally for people who have crocheted before and held the yarn in their left hand doing that, but knowing how to crochet is not a prerequisite. Although some claim that continental knitting is fast, it is really just a matter of personal preference.
