The double moss stitch pattern creates a more textured raised effect on the material which looks great for any number of projects. As far as the patterns are concerned you should remember that the pattern and the ply should be the same, so use four ply yarn for a four ply pattern and Aran' yarn for an Aran' pattern. When knitting, the yarn ball winder should be used to keep the yarn at an even tension.

Smaller items, such as socks and hats, are usually knit in one piece on double-pointed needles or circular needles. Slip-stitch knitting plays an important role in mosaic knitting, an important technique in hand-knitting patterned fabrics; mosaic-knit fabrics tend to be stiffer than patterned fabrics produced by other methods such as Fair-Isle knitting. Although knitting needle diameter is often measured in millimeters, there are several different size systems, particularly those specific to the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan; a conversion table is given at knitting needle.

Most new knitters should start with some of the basic patterns listed above and work on mastering basic stitches. Get knitting!
