Learn the Norwegian Knitting Method
Master the Norwegian Purl Stitch
Why learn this method?
-
Keep your hands close to the needles and work with small, efficient movements. For many knitters, this more relaxed style can mean less hand fatigue and a more comfortable way to knit.
-
Struggling with loose purls, uneven stockinette or messy ribbing? The Norwegian method can help create more consistent tension between your knit and purl stitches — giving your knitting a cleaner, more even appearance.
-
The working yarn stays in the back for both knit and Norwegian purl stitches, so there’s less moving the yarn back and forth. Knits, purls, ribbing and textured stitches can flow together in one continuous rhythm.
I learned to knit more than 40 years ago simply by watching my mom. Interestingly, I didn’t knit the way she did — I naturally developed what I later learned was the Russian, or Eastern, knitting method.
Years later, when I became interested in designing my own patterns, I started paying much closer attention to how I knit. I explored different knitting styles and techniques before discovering the Norwegian knitting method — the method that felt the most natural, comfortable and intuitive in my hands.
Today, M1R KNIT is a knitting education and pattern brand focused on the Norwegian knitting method. Through clear, close-up tutorials and beginner-friendly to intermediate knitting patterns, I help knitters build confidence, improve their technique and put new skills into practice through thoughtfully designed projects.
I believe there is no single “correct” way to knit. The best method is the one that feels good in your hands. Norwegian knitting happened to be the one that felt right in mine.
