free ken doll knitting patterns

Let me start by introducing you to the five stitch types that I believe are at the very heart of knitting! Originally, circular knitting was done using a set of four or five double-pointed knitting needles.

It is a very simple stitch and usually worked over a multiple of four stitches with two extra. You should always use the same tape measure when making a garment. The Purl stitch will also be in any knitting instructions.

Of course, the challenge of a complicated pattern, or a technique previously untried requires a bit more focus and can result in "tinking" (also known as un-knitting) or even some serious "frogging" (ripping out more than a few stitches, so called because "rip-it, rip-it" is reminiscent of the frog's "ribbit"). Now count the stitches, if they are all there, turn the right knitting needle around and put it in the left hand. Making a baby blanket yourself or having someone knit one for you is the best way to show your love.

Exercise is great, yet, doing something for your soul, is just as important. Even a beginner can make a simple scarf with novelty yarn in just a few hours, and have it look just fantastic.
