There are may ways to work circularly when knitting: use double pointed needles, circular needles, knitting needles with hooks (just like double pointed needles), Flexi points and Magic Loop. They all have the same goal, produce a circular piece of knitting with seams. When you want to produce small circumferences, it becomes hard to manipulate your tools. So knitters came up with ingenious ways to do that, and Magic Loop is one of these. Note that the fabric you produce does not change, just how you are making it. Also, it does not matter if you are using Portuguese, English or German Styles, the technique using the long loop is the same. With that being said, I have numerous requests in how to work with Magic Loop using Portuguese Style, so here is a video for you.
Do you have a question or topic you'd like me to cover? Leave a suggestion in the comments and it might become my next video!
