How to Knit Magic Loop: Left Handed Mirror Knitting Tutorial for Beginners
For left handed mirror knitters, learn how to knit with magic loop. This detailed tutorial walks you through casting on and joining in the round using magic loop with a flexible circular needle, ensuring your stitches are evenly divided and avoiding twists. This method is perfect for small circumference knitting projects in the round, such as socks and sleeves. To see how to use the magic cast on, check our related videos. To begin, gather a long circular needle with a flexible cord. Cast on the desired number of stitches using the long tail cast on method or the method recommended for your project. Once you've cast on, slide the stitches to the cord and find the halfway point. This is key to setting up for Magic Loop knitting: Gently pull the cord through this halfway point so that half of the stitches rest on each side of the needle. Take care to orient the stitches correctly to avoid twisting. Then, draw out the back needle, which becomes your working needle. Join in the round and continue knitting as instructed for your project. After completing the stitches on the front needle, pull the cord through so the back stitches are on the empty needle again. Rotate your needles and repeat the process, consistently pulling the back needle out as your working needle to continue knitting.
