Knitting is worked in rounds (the equivalent of rows in flat knitting) in a spiral. In this brief article we aim to just give a basic understanding of knitting needles, their sizing and what you need to look out for.
For general garment creation, one of the best known kitting yarns is Sirdar'. Each pattern requires that you knit a certain number of stitches using a particular yarn and a specified needle. 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 doesn't care what month it is or what holiday is approaching, there is always something fun to knit. A sequence of stitches in which each stitch suspended from the next is called a wale. Different sizes of socks can be made in the sock-knitting machine.
Once you learn the basics of knitting, you will want to continue progressing to more advanced stitches and knitting patterns. We hope you found the information here inspiring, please have a look around this site for more great info.
