🙌 How to Knit Flat with Circular Needles | Learn to Knit 🙌

Learn how to knit flat using circular needles, and also learn why the heck you would want to do this.

I often knit flat knits using circular needles. Here are 4 reasons why:

1. The project is big, like a blanket, or a shawl, so the stitches are too many for straight needles to accommodate, but a long circular will work just fine.
2. The project is heavy and with circulars, the weight of the project is off my wrists and in my lap.
3. I can slide the project onto the cables to keep from dropping stitches making knitting on the go easier.
4. It's a great way to freak out people who are watching you knit and wondered what that crazy looking knitting needle is you're using.
