Joining a knitting round is a technique used to connect the ends of a knitted piece to form a continuous loop. This technique is commonly used to create garments such as sweaters, hats, and socks, which require a seamless, tubular shape.
To join a knitting round, the knitter typically uses a yarn needle to pass the working yarn through the live stitches on one end of the piece and then through the live stitches on the other end. This creates a continuous loop of yarn that holds the two ends of the knitting together. Joining a round can also be achieved using a crochet hook or a specific knitting stitch, such as the Kitchener stitch.
