PRACTICAL WORK ON KNITTING
The basic steps involved in knitting each of these items:
- Choose your yarn and needles according to the desired size and warmth of the cap.
- Cast on stitches to create the brim of the cap.
- Work in the desired stitch pattern (such as ribbing or stockinette stitch) until the cap reaches the desired length.
- Decrease stitches gradually at the crown of the cap to close it off.
- Finish by weaving in loose ends and sewing any seams if necessary.
- Begin by knitting the back panel of the cardigan, starting from the bottom edge and working upward to the desired length.
- Knit the front panels separately, making sure to include any necessary shaping for the neckline and armholes.
- Knit the sleeves, either separately or by picking up stitches along the armhole edges.
- Seam the front, back, and sleeves together, and add any desired button bands, collars, or edgings.
- Finish by weaving in loose ends and adding buttons or closures.
- Start by knitting the cuff of the sock, usually in a ribbed or textured pattern for stretchiness.
- Knit the leg of the sock to the desired length, incorporating any desired stitch patterns or colorwork.
- Work the heel flap and turn the heel to create the heel cup.
- Knit the foot of the sock to the desired length, ensuring proper shaping for the toe.
- Finish by grafting the toe closed using Kitchener stitch or by binding off and sewing the toe seam.
- Choose a sturdy, absorbent yarn suitable for towels.
- Cast on stitches to create the width of the towel.
- Work in a simple stitch pattern such as garter stitch or seed stitch for the body of the towel.
- Knit until the towel reaches the desired length, considering the shrinkage that may occur when washing.
- Finish by binding off stitches and weaving in loose ends.
- Determine the dimensions of the table cover and choose a suitable yarn and stitch pattern.
- Cast on stitches to create the width of the table cover.
- Work in a stitch pattern that provides stability and durability, such as stockinette stitch, linen stitch, or a dense cable pattern.
- Knit until the table cover reaches the desired length, considering any desired edging or border.
- Finish by binding off stitches, blocking if necessary, and weaving in loose ends.
