I am trying my hand at knitting in the round on 4 DPN. As it is coming along I am finding that my tube is coming up through the center of the needles, rather than down the middle like I have seen in pictures and videos of how knitting in the round is supposed to look.
I made sure when I started that the cast on edges were all facing inwards and the stitch loops were facing outward. When I push the tube down through the needles where it SHOULD be the ‘purl pattern’ part is on the outside rather than a stockinette stitch.
I suspect you’re knitting it inside out. Are you knitting on the inside of the circle of knitting? While it’s not a huge deal most of the time it’s generally considered correct to knit on the outside of the circle. Depending on what you’re making you can probably just finish it and then turn it inside out.
Jan, she said when she flipped it the purls were on the outside then.
LeighAnn, I wouldn’t worry about it, though you may still have the needle tips facing away from you instead of toward you. Try that if you are. And they sometimes tend to do this at first anyway, it’s not going to be messed up.
