how to knit flowers

Knitting is no longer only for grandmothers or just any mothers. Now it's a fun, creative hobby for anyone.

Knitting can be fun, especially if you are good with your hands and enjoy doing similar activities such as sewing, arts, crafts, and more. It is also best to use the basic knitting stitches, just knit and purl until you are use to knitting. The thread used in weaving is usually much finer than the yarn used in knitting, which can make the knitted fabric bulkier and have less drape than a woven fabric.

Sometimes, the yarns being plied are fed at different rates, so that one yarn loops around the other, as in boucl . Many knitters first become interested in the craft so that they can create blankets for their friends and family. These yarns can be used in the sock-knitting machine.

Double-pointed knitting needles usually come in sets of four (US size 1, on right) or five (US size 8, on left). Knitting from a normal hank directly is likely to tangle the yarn, producing snarls.

Once you learn the basics of knitting, you will want to continue progressing to more advanced stitches and knitting patterns. Most new knitters should start with some of the basic patterns listed above and work on mastering basic stitches.
