Travelling Magic Loop

Travelling Magic Loop is a variation on the classic Magic Loop (see below for a link to our video on that technique). It ensures that you always start to knit with the adjacent stitches on your right needle tip. This avoids tension issues at the change from one needle to the other, and can eliminate ladders.

Magic Loop is a brilliant method for knitting small circumferences in the round using a long circular needle. It is perfect for knitting socks, hats, scarves, sleeves – basically any project with a smaller circumference.
