Knitting as an art and a craft was kept alive only as a hobby Knitting has become very popular in recent years.
Knitting is the delicate balance of holding needles and continuously feeding yarn until a pattern emerges. Stockinette Stitch, also called Stocking Stitch is the most widely used stitch for knitted projects. This produces a reversible fabric with raised horizontal ridges on each side of the work.
A second potential difficulty is that the knitted piece will slide off the tapered end of the needles when unattended; this is prevented by "point protectors" that cap the tapered ends. I then lay the knitting on a flat clean towel. Often the better yarns are provided with a range of knitting patterns leaflets.
Dyeing may be done industrially, by hand or even hand-painted onto the yarn. Cable patterns are made by permuting the order of stitches; although one or two stitches may be held by hand or knit out of order, cables of three or more generally require a cable needle.
Brainstorm, and figure out which way of teaching would be best for you and your students! Most new knitters should start with some of the basic patterns listed above and work on mastering basic stitches.
