How Do I Keep Going?

Finished row.

Ready to knit row two.

Sarah White

One of the biggest questions people who teach themselves how to knit often have is: how do I keep going once I've finished the first row?

When all the stitches are gone from the left-hand needle, how do you continue? Actually, it's very easy and it's a concept called turning the work.

All you have to do is literally flip the work over. The side that you just had in front of you becomes the back temporarily. Move this needle from your right hand back to your left hand and you'll see you're right where you started again.
