knit baby hat

Knitters were first believed to have begun their craft in the first few centuries AD. Let's start with some basic patterns.

In the simplest knitted fabrics, all of the stitches are knit or purl; these fabrics are denoted as stockinette and reverse stockinette, respectively. Short and tall stitches may also alternate within a row, forming a fish-like oval pattern. When you complete a beautiful piece that can be framed as a home decor piece, you'll be proud to hang it on your wall.

Cable needles are a special case of dpns, although they usually are not straight, but dimpled in the middle. In spinning, the fibers are twisted so that the yarn resists breaking under tension; the twisting may be done in either direction, resulting in an Z-twist or S-twist yarn. There are old favourites such as books and magazines.
