NOTE

KNITTING; BASIC KNITTING STITCHES

Knitting stitches refer to the basic units of knitting that form the fabric. Each stitch is a loop of yarn that is interlocked with the previous row of stitches to create a woven texture. The combination of different stitches creates various patterns and textures in knitted fabric.

Types of knitting

The basic types of knitting stitches include:

  1. Knit Stitch: The knit stitch, often abbreviated as "k" in knitting patterns, is one of the fundamental stitches in knitting.

- It creates a smooth, V-shaped pattern on the right side of the fabric, while the wrong side typically forms a series of horizontal bars.

- To execute a knit stitch, the working yarn is held in the back of the work, and the needle is inserted through the front loop of the stitch on the left needle from left to right.

- The working yarn is then wrapped around the right needle counterclockwise and pulled through the loop, creating a new stitch on the right needle while dropping the old stitch from the left needle.

- This process is repeated across the row, creating a row of knit stitches.

  1. Purl Stitch (P): Creates a raised horizontal line or a bump on the right side of the fabric, forming a reverse pattern compared to the knit stitch.
  2. Garter Stitch: Created by knitting every row, resulting in a fabric with ridges on both sides. It's a reversible stitch pattern and is often used for beginner projects.
  3. Stockinette Stitch: Created by alternating rows of knit stitches and purl stitches. This creates a smooth, flat fabric with the knit side forming a V-shaped pattern and the purl side forming a series of horizontal bars.
  4. Ribbing: A pattern created by alternating knit and purl stitches in the same row or across rows. It's commonly used for cuffs, collars, and edges as it provides elasticity and texture to the fabric.
  5. Seed Stitch: Alternates between knit and purl stitches within the same row and across rows, creating a textured pattern resembling seeds or little bumps.
  6. Cable Stitch: Involves crossing stitches over each other to create twisted or braided patterns. Cable stitches are created by using a cable needle or by knitting stitches out of sequence.
