+ all-cotton + knit + women clothing + white

Knitting is the oldest craft among all the crafts. As we know, all knitted fabrics are made using two basic stitches, knit and purl.

When you complete a beautiful piece that can be framed as a home decor piece, you'll be proud to hang it on your wall. Fabrics in which the number of knit and purl stitches are not the same, such as stockinette, have a tendency to curl; by contrast, those in which knit and purl stitches are arranged symmetrically (such as ribbing, garter stitch or seed stitch) tend to lie flat and drape well. It does not require any special or inborn talent to start knitting.

Sport weight yarns are also used in the machine. There are actually hundreds of combinations of stitch patterns. Heathered yarns contain small amounts of fibre of different colours, while tweed yarns may have greater amounts of different coloured fibres.

We hope you found the information here inspiring, please have a look around this site for more great info. To do a yarn-over after a knit stitch, just bring your yarn across your work from the back to the front.
