Learn to knit: How to knit in the round with double pointed

Double pointed needles can be intimidating - how do you knit with so many needles? Knitting in the round on double pointed needles creates a seamless tube of fabric, and allows you to work small circumferences such as socks and mitts that don't have enough stitches to fit around a circular needle.  Working in the round on DPNs is similar to working on a circular needle, except that the stitches are distributed over 3 or 4 rigid needles rather than one flexible cable. You are still knitting with just two needles at a time - the other needles are simply holders for the stitches you haven’t worked yet. Although your first time with double pointed needles (DPNs) might feel a bit like wrestling a porcupine, with a little practice you will be sailing along and impressing everyone with your skills.
