Learning continental style knitting can feel awkward at first, especially if you’re used to throwing the yarn in the English style, but with practice, it often leads to faster and more efficient knitting. The key is to focus on proper yarn tension in your left hand, which may take some trial and error to find what feels natural. Start with simple knit and purl stitches to build muscle memory, and keep your movements small and relaxed. Watching slow-motion videos or practicing alongside tutorials can help reinforce the hand positioning and motion. Be patient with yourself—it’s a skill that builds over time, and even short daily practice sessions can lead to steady improvement.
If you’re new to it, start slow and practice getting comfortable with the motion. Over time, flicking can help speed up your knitting and reduce hand strain.
