Knit Purl Hunter video lessons are listed below in alphabetical order. Just click on the post title to view the video.
Wrap 3 (4)
High impact texture stitch with origins in Japanese knitting. Demonstration shows the technique with 3 stitches, but the process is the same for 4. For a Wrap 4, simply slip 4 stitches to the cable needle and work the stitches as seen in the video. Any number of stitches can be worked into a wrap.
Wrap and Turn (W&T)
A wrap and turn is used in short row shaping and this simple technique can be a source of confusion for many knitters. Take the mystery out of the W&T with this video that demonstrates the wrap and turn on the knit and purl side of your work.
Yarn Bobbin (Butterfly)
Wind small amounts of yarn into an easy-pulling skein. Perfect for your next intarsia project.
Yarn Over (Continental)
Continental knitters (yarn held in the left hand) execute a yarn over stitch differently from the Western-style knitters who hold the working yarn in the right hand. Continental knitters will love how easy it is to execute the simple yarn over increase.
Yarn Over (yo)
A yarn over is a simple increase that creates a lovely hole and is the basis for lace knitting. You may have made a yarn over my mistake, but in lace knitting we create holes with a purpose. Both yarn overs before a knit stitch and purl stitch are demonstrated in this video.
Yarn Over – Afterthought
Did you forget to place a yarn over in a row of knitting? No need to rip out the row! Place the yarn over in the following row and continue with your pattern by working an Afterthought Yarn Over.
