knit pattern site

Knitting is no longer only for grandmothers or just any mothers. When I have spent hours working on knitting a sweater, I want to make sure it looks as good after a dozen washes as it did the day I was knitting it.

Variegated yarns can produce interesting visual effects, such as diagonal stripes; conversely, a variegated yarn may frustrate an otherwise good knitting pattern by producing distasteful color combinations. Once you know the essentials you will be able to follow most knitting instructions which are just combinations or variations of two stitches. As well, I like to be able to spread my work out and check my pattern for any mistakes and it is much easier to view when using these needles.

The knit stitch is formed by making loops which interweave with one another; one after another. If you are crafty at all, try your hand at knitting a baby blanket. Catch the knitting yarn on the end on the right knitting needle and pull it through the first stitch to the front of the work.

While knitting patterns can offer suggestions for design and color ideas, it is ultimately up to the artist to decide what the final product what look like. There are many knitting guilds and other knitting groups or knitting clubs.
