Knitting consists of loops called stitches pulled through each other. Here's how I care for the things I have been knitting.
During knitting, the active stitches are secured mechanically, either from individual hooks (in knitting machines) or from a knitting needle or frame in hand-knitting. The opposing twist relieves some of the yarns' tendency to curl up and produces a thicker, balanced yarn. There are also different types of knitting needles like Addi knitting needles, Clover knitting needles, Misc knitting needles, Crystal Palace, Rosewood and HiyaHiya
In lace knitting, the pattern is formed by making small, stable holes in the fabric, generally with yarn overs. In weft knitting, the entire fabric may be produced from a single yarn, by adding stitches to each wale in turn, moving across the fabric as in a raster scan. A simple stitch is completed by creating a beginner knit block.
Most new knitters should start with some of the basic patterns listed above and work on mastering basic stitches. Even a beginner can make a simple scarf with novelty yarn in just a few hours, and have it look just fantastic.
