How to Make Twisted Stitches in Eastern (Russian) Knitting

To twist stitches in the Classic knitting style, we knit them through the back loop. If we do the same when we work using the Eastern (previously known as Russian) knitting style, we get the ordinary – non-twisted – stitches.

So what do we do when we want to twist stitches in Eastern knitting? That’s what this tutorial is all about. Let’s see how we can make twisted knit and twisted purl stitches in just a few simple steps.

An even easier way to make twisted stitches in Eastern knitting is to work in the round. This and many other features of the Eastern knitting style are explained in a detailed online course “Eastern (Russian) Knitting Simplified”.
