The Essence of French Knitting

French knitting, also known as knitting on a loom, is a captivating technique that allows you to create beautiful knitted items with ease. Unlike traditional knitting with needles, this method utilizes a special loom to form the stitches, resulting in a unique and charming aesthetic.
