7 Things Every Combination Knitter Should Know

After reading the comments on my first combination knitting video, I realized that plenty of knitters are combination knitters and either don't realize it or they are curious to learn more about how combination knitting effects their fabric.

Combination knitting can be done by either continental or English style knitters and is correlated to the direction the yarn is wrapped around the working needle when forming new stitches. Combination knitters wrap the yarn counter-clockwise when they knit, but clockwise when they purl. This stitch formation isn't wrong, but since it isn't the standard, there are a few things combination knitters need to understand, especially when they are following a pattern.
