Photo Samples, Turning Stitches
Ms Kaukonen (1960, Finland) classified nalbinding stitches into four categories, based on how many yarns (or groups of yarns) the needle crosses before the direction of the needle changes in the middle of the stitch.
- In Turning stitches (pyöräyttäen or punaltaen in Finnish) one of the yarns/loops (usually the one in the middle of the stitch), is picked up from back to front (needle tip usually pointing to 3 o'clock).
