I wanted to set out some basic knitting instructions as a refresher so here it is. Knitting has become very popular in recent years.
This is the first row from your knitting instructions. Notice that the American measurement has low numbers for needles with smaller diameters , and the numbers can go up to 50 for a larger diameter like 25 mm, while the British measurement has high numbers for low diameters and the numbers decrease when it comes to high diameters like, for example, 000 for knitting needles of 10 mm , Therefore, you need to look up a knitting needle conversion chart to ensure you end up with the correct needle size. Flat knitting is usually used to knit flat pieces like scarves, blankets, afghans, and the backs and fronts of sweaters.
In general, yarns become stronger with more twist (also called worst), longer fibers and thicker yarns (more fibers); for example, thinner yarns require more twist than do thicker yarns to resist breaking under tension. When you learn these simple stitches and stitch patterns, you can knit virtually any pattern that you wish. You will know how to do something that not many people know how to do, but might wish they did.
Keep looking around this site for lots of tips, patterns, resources and ideas. You may also want to consider finding a local knitting group or meeting online others who share your hobby.
