When knitting in the round what is the right side?

When you are knitting in the round you are essentially knitting a tube. You cast on to circular needles, you join in the round, and then you knit a round or two. You may not be aware of this, but you are knitting on the outside of the tube so that the so-called “right side” of the fabric is always facing you.

Is there a wrong side in circular knitting?

When knitting in the round, the wrong side refers to the side you are not knitting and that will be hidden on the inside of your socks, hat, etc. However, there are quite a few tubular patterns that have you actually knitting the wrong side. Once you are finished, you will have to invert your project.

Which is the right and left side in knitting?

Front and back refer to the orientation of the fabric as you are knitting it. The front is the side you are looking at as you knit. Sometimes the right side is at the front and sometimes the wrong side is at the front.

How do you know where you left off knitting?

Stitch Patterns and Charts

Compare the last row of your knitting on the needles against the chart or stitch pattern to see if it matches the row you've marked. If it doesn't, check a row up or down - you might have worked another row without marking it off, before you put it down.

Is the cast on row the right side?

The tail at the bottom of your work (the yarn leftover from the cast-on row) should fall to the right of your work. When knitting in stocking stitch, this is what the right-side of your work will look like. If your pattern tells you to end on a RS row, your final row would start with the tail on the right-hand side.

What does right side facing mean?

When you sew two bits of fabric together it's common to hear the phrase, 'right sides together' or 'right sides facing'. This means that the 'right sides' of the fabric will be touching as you sew the seam. Then once its sewn and you turn the fabric over, you don't see the seam and it looks nice and flat.

What does RS and WS mean in knitting?

This means that on Row 1, which is the right side of the piece (RS), you will knit all 12 stitches on the needle. Then for Row 2, the wrong side (WS) of the piece, you will purl every stitch. The pattern may now say: Rep Rows 1 and 2 until piece measures 4” from the beginning, ending with a WS row.

What does ending with a WS row mean in knitting?

When your pattern tells you to end on a wrong side row it means that the last row you knit is the one on the wrong side (hidden side) of your project. So if you are knitting in stocking stitch (stockinette) the last row you work is a purl row so that you are ready to knit the next row.

What does ending with a right side row mean in knitting?

Ending with a right side row means that you complete a right side row before moving on to the next instruction in your pattern. So, in the next step, the wrong side is facing you (bumpy side).

How will you distinguish the right side and the wrong side of the fabric?

Right side: When instructions mention the "right side" of fabric, they are talking about the "printed" or "pretty" surface of the fabric. You usually sew things with right sides together so the stitching will be on the inside of the finished project. Wrong side: The other surface is the "wrong" side of the fabric.

How do you read a knitting chart?

Charts for flat knitting are read in the same direction you would knit your work: starting from the bottom and reading from Right to Left (←) on RS rows (usually the odd-numbered rows) and from Left to Right (→) on WS rows (usually the even-numbered rows).

Is Row 1 the right side in knitting?

The first row of a knitting pattern is considered the right side, and the second row is considered the wrong side. Since one is an odd number, all of the odd rows are right side facing.

Is the cast on row considered Row 1?

The cast on itself is not counted, however, some cast on methods create both a cast on and a knitted row. For example, the most popular cast on, the long tail method, creates both a cast on and a knitted row. So in this case, you would count that as the first row.

How do you know which is the right side of the fabric?

If you look at the top and bottom finished edge of the fabric (this is called the selvage) you'll notice tiny holes. (These holes are caused by the pins holding the fabric when it's created in the textile factories.) If you look at the holes and the holes appear neat and smooth, that's the right side.

How do you find the right side of the face of fabric?

Does felt have a right side?

Do you cast off on the right or wrong side?

What does make 1 right mean in knitting?

To “make 1 right” (m1R), use the left needle to pick up the strand between the last stitch you knit and the one you're about to knit, bringing the needle from back to front. Leave the strand on the left needle. Next, insert the tip of the right needle knitwise into the front leg of the strand and knit as usual.
