knit hats

Like weaving, knitting is a technique for producing a two-dimensional fabric from a one-dimensional yarn or thread. Now it's a fun, creative hobby for anyone.

There are actually hundreds of combinations of stitch patterns. I read somewhere that if it's mild enough but effective enough for my hair it must be good enough for my knitting. These usually utilize the basic stockinet stitch, which makes them ideal for beginners.

You can also knit mittens, scarves using the sock-knitting machine. If you are crafty at all, try your hand at knitting a baby blanket. But in reality, a handcrafted gift, such as a knit baby blanket, costs a lot more in material and time than the mass produced blankets that you find in the store.

Take your time and understand the information on this site and you will be able to knit anything you want. You watch it come to life as you go, and little by little, your knitting becomes reality.
