DECORATIVE DESIGNS  III

Knitting

Knitting is a method of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn with knitting needles. This technique produces a variety of textures and patterns, resulting in garments and other items with flexibility and warmth.

Stitches in Knitting

  1. Knit Stitch: The most basic stitch, forming the foundation of knitting. When repeated, it creates a fabric known as garter stitch.
  2. Purl Stitch: The opposite of the knit stitch. When alternated with knit stitches, it creates a fabric known as stockinette stitch.
  3. Garter Stitch: Created by knitting every row. Produces a stretchy and textured fabric.
  4. Stockinette Stitch: Formed by alternating rows of knit and purl stitches. It has a smooth, V-shaped pattern on the front and a bumpy texture on the back.
  5. Rib Stitch: Created by alternating knit and purl stitches within the same row (e.g., K2, P2). Produces a stretchy fabric, commonly used for cuffs and hems.
  6. Seed Stitch: An alternating pattern of knit and purl stitches, both within rows and between rows, creating a textured fabric.
  7. Lace Stitch: Involves creating patterns with holes using techniques like yarn overs and decreases. Produces an open, airy fabric.

Knitting Tools and Materials

  1. Knitting Needles: These come in different sizes and materials like metal, wood, or plastic. They're used to create stitches.
  2. Yarn: The main material for knitting. It comes in various fibers, weights, and colors.
  3. Scissors: To cut the yarn when needed.
  4. Tapestry Needle: Used for sewing pieces together or weaving in loose ends.
  5. Measuring Tape: Helps to check the size of your project as you go along.
  6. Stitch Markers: These are placed on the needles to mark specific points in your pattern.
  7. Row Counter: Keeps track of how many rows you've completed.
  8. Stitch Holders: Used to hold stitches temporarily, especially in complicated patterns or when shaping.
  9. Pattern: Instructions for your project, including stitches and techniques required.
  10. Blocking Materials: Pins and blocking mats are used to shape and set your finished project.
