Knitting is a craft whereby thread or yarn is transformed into fabric through a method which entails pulling loops through each other. The process may take place using hand or machine and there are many different styles and methods to use. Different types of yarns and needles can be utilized to create various outcomes.
There are two types of knitting: weft knitting and warp knitting. Weft knitting is done by hand or machines while warp knitting is done by machines only. Knitting can be done using a variety of stitches. The main knitting stitches are knit stitch, purl stitch, knit 2 together, yarn-over and stockinette stitch.
Knit stitch ??" this is produced by interlocking loops with each other in sequence. One needle is used to draw a loop of yarn through a stitch on the next needle.
Purl stitch ??" the yarn is held to the front of your knitting and the right needle is pushed from back to front into the first stitch on the left needle. Use the right index finger to wrap the yarn around and down the right needle in a left-handed course. Draw the right needle with the yarn through the old stitch backward and slip off the old stitch to make the purl stitch.
Knit 2 together ??" as the name indicates, this is knitting two together. The right needle is inserted into the second stitch off the tip of the left needle guaranteeing that the first stitch is caught with it. Bring the yarn over and up then downward. Catch the yarn then glide the old stitches off.
Yarn-over ??" after a knit stitch, bring the yarn across the knitting from the back toward the front then knit the next stitch. The additional stitch that is created on the row is called a yarn-over.
Stockinette stitch ??" this is the most common knitting stitch which involves knitting one row and purling the other. This is a straightforward process that is suitable for those who are apprentices.
