Knitting may be done by hand or by machine. I wanted to set out some basic knitting instructions as a refresher so here it is.
Once the knitted piece is finished, the remaining live stitches are "cast off. To compete with the speed of the new knitting machines, many of the cottage industries started to knit garments in flat pieces which were sewn together; they worked piecemeal. It is also best to use the basic knitting stitches, just knit and purl until you are use to knitting.
This is the first row from your knitting instructions. The dyeing of yarns is a complex art. Sometimes, the yarns being plied are fed at different rates, so that one yarn loops around the other, as in boucl .
Thicker yarns generally require thicker knitting needles, whereas thinner yarns may be knit with thick or thin needles. Knitters generally ensure that the yarn for a project comes from a single dye lot.
These few basic knitting instructions are the foundation of any project you will ever knit. These few basic knitting instructions are the foundation of any project you will ever knit.
