Portuguese knitting is a unique technique that originated in Portugal. It involves using a small knitting pin or hook to tension the yarn, allowing for a more efficient and faster knitting process. This method is particularly beneficial for knitters who experience discomfort in their hands, as it minimizes the need for extensive finger movement. In Portuguese knitting, the yarn is typically wrapped around the thumb or a knitting pin, which helps create stitches with less strain. This technique can be used for various projects, including garments and accessories, and is gaining popularity among knitters worldwide for its ease and effectiveness.
