Knitting threads or yarns are used to create cloths or warm cloths. The process of knitting has three basic tasks: (1) the active (unsecured) stitches must be held so they don't drop; (2) these stitches must be released sometime after they are secured; and (3) new bights of yarn must be passed through the fabric, usually through active stitches, thus securing them.
These developments made possible the shaping of hosiery and other pieces of clothing. Flat knitting is usually used to knit flat pieces like scarves, blankets, afghans, and the backs and fronts of sweaters. If you have a mesh sweater dryer then lay it out carefully shaping the sweater to its original proportions.
Now count the stitches to make sure you haven't dropped any and turn the work around putting the knitting needle with the stitches on in your left hand to start the next row. Your knitting pattern whilst looking attractive needs to be suitable to the garment you want to knit. Stitch holders, which come in various lengths and are similar to safety pins, knitting counters are small devices that are slipped over the point of the needle and are very convenient for keeping track of rows, especially for larger items like sweaters and afghans.
These five stitches, I believe, form the very foundation of knitting. Cable patterns are made by permuting the order of stitches; although one or two stitches may be held by hand or knit out of order, cables of three or more generally require a cable needle.
You'll be amazed at how much faster the second, third, and fourth version of the same pattern can be. Keep YOUR knitting on the "Cutting Edge" with FREE patterns.
