Combined knitting

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Combined knitting or combination knitting is a knitting method that combines elements of Eastern-style

lace knitting.[2]

The basic adaptation necessary is to substitute "ssk" when directed to "k2tog", and vice versa,

knitting patterns are currently not written to accommodate the needs of Combined knitters. The responsibility rests with the individual knitter to have gained sufficient working knowledge of the changes necessary to convert pattern elements before attempting the entire project, in order for the design to be knitted successfully.[3]

Knitting instructors unfamiliar with this method will encounter difficulties teaching classes with students using this method. Proper terminology is essential in assisting teachers to provide adequate instruction to these students. Teachers should familiarize themselves with the works of Annie Modesitt and Anna Zilboorg, among others.

Other basic knitting techniques include English knitting (or "throwing") and Continental knitting (or "picking").

    : By this method of work the yarn makes the shortest possible journey in forming either stitch, the distance being the same for either Knit or Purl throw. It is thus claimed, since both throws are of the same length, that this is the better way to work in Flat Knitting. The resulting fabric is more even and closer in construction, and, since knitted fabrics are still felted in those districts [Russia and the Balkans], it felts more easily.
