With knitting in the round the stitches are knitted in the round as nothing but knit stitches.
This is a great way to knit Norwegian or Fair Isle patterns.
Norwegian or Fair Isle knitting, lends itself beautifully to circular knitting, a favorite way of knitting for many knitters,
much lesser mistakes are made !

knitting in the round has two main advantages:
no seams are needed to make up the garment after knitting,
and it allows the knitter to create a smooth and even stocking stitch.
Perfect for sweaters, cardigans and socks, they all can be knitted in the round.

Tips for my basic knitting patterns

1 First you knit your knitting swatch, if you want to knit in a cable stitch pattern, knit your swatch with 1 or more cables,
2 then determine your gauge, now you can choose a knitting pattern with the right gauge, this way it will always fit,
3 no need for special yarns or needles size, you decide which yarn you use and which gauge you use, so easy.

Tips for regular inch increments
17.7 = 17.75 = 17 3/4 inches. 18,8 = 18.75 = 18 3/4 inches. 9.9 = 10 inches and so on.
Knowing this will make it easy to just round up or down as they are such small increments.
