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”.
The full step-by-step photo tutorial about this method, is a part of the Knitting Collection #5. Once you order your copy of this collection, you will instantly receive a “big PDF” (336 pages!) with this and 46 other tutorials included in the collection.
You will also receive three knitting patterns as a special bonus, so go ahead and get it all right now before you forget 😊
