English Knitting Terms

Jun 20, 2023 Inge Arissen

We all browse the internet from time to time, looking for a fun Knitting Pattern, and sometimes you come across a pattern in English. These often contain a lot of technical terms in English, which doesn’t make the pattern any easier to follow. We’ve compiled a list of all these terms so you can keep it handy when you start working on an English-language pattern.

Years ago, we wrote a similar blog post about crocheting. Back then, there was also a difference between American and British terminology. Fortunately, this isn’t the case with knitting, so this table includes only the Dutch and English terms.
