I wanted to set out some basic knitting instructions as a refresher so here it is. If you are looking for the perfect gift for that special newborn baby, why not consider a knit baby blanket?
It is important to know the size of your knitting needles because their size is related to the size of your stitches and, implicitly, to the appearance of the finished work. This takes longer to dry and I suggest changing to a dry towel and flipping the sweater over so it dries quicker. Laces are provided from Iceland and Estonia.
Different methods of casting on are used for different effects: one may be stretchy enough for lace, while another provides a decorative edging Provisional cast-ons are used when the knitting will continue in both directions from the cast-on. Plied yarns may themselves be plied together, producing cabled yarns or multi-stranded yarns. Once you have cast on, hold the knitting needle with the cast on stitches in your left hand.
Knit it like you would knit any stitch. Keep looking around this site for lots of tips, patterns, resources and ideas.
