knit hats

Let me start by introducing you to the five stitch types that I believe are at the very heart of knitting! Let me start by introducing you to the five stitch types that I believe are at the very heart of knitting!

Knitted garments are often more form-fitting than woven garments, since their elasticity allows them to follow the body's curvature closely; by contrast, curvature is introduced into most woven garments only with sewn darts, flares, gussets and gores, the seams of which lower the elasticity of the woven fabric still further. On the left are a pair of scissors, a yarn needle, green and blue stitch markers, and two orange point protectors. The most basic type of knitting is called the knit stitch.

Various tools have been developed to make hand-knitting easier. Making a baby blanket yourself or having someone knit one for you is the best way to show your love. These balls are usually sold with yarn bands which will give the details of that yarn which you are purchasing.

Good luck with your knitting. To do a yarn-over after a knit stitch, just bring your yarn across your work from the back to the front.
