The process of knitting has three basic tasks: (1) the active (unsecured) stitches must be held so they don't drop; (2) these stitches must be released sometime after they are secured; and (3) new bights of yarn must be passed through the fabric, usually through active stitches, thus securing them. Knitting is the art of turning threads int
Not every stitch in a row need be knitted; some may be left as is and knitted on a subsequent row. Repeating it out loud confers some of the meditative experience of knitting. However, these numbers can differ from one country to another.
In fact the oldest patterns of lace knitting were made by the fisherman, and they are very strong can not be ripped. For comparison, woven garments stretch mainly along one direction (the bias) and not very much, unless they are woven from stretchable material such as Lycra. In securing the previous stitch in a wale, the next stitch can pass through the previous loop either from below or above.
Brainstorm, and figure out which way of teaching would be best for you and your students! Even a beginner can make a simple scarf with novelty yarn in just a few hours, and have it look just fantastic.
