knit sheep sweater

For many people one of the most enjoyable aspects of the craft is browsing through the many yarns available in a knitting shop. I wanted to set out some basic knitting instructions as a refresher so here it is.

However, these numbers can differ from one country to another. In weft knitting, the entire fabric may be produced from a single yarn, by adding stitches to each wale in turn, moving across the fabric as in a raster scan. These usually utilize the basic stockinet stitch, which makes them ideal for beginners.

It is a good idea to keep the knitting yarn draped over the right forefinger, this keeps it to the back of the work too. Sometimes, the yarns being plied are fed at different rates, so that one yarn loops around the other, as in boucl . It is not done like knitting on needles, it is done on your fingers.

To do a yarn-over after a knit stitch, just bring your yarn across your work from the back to the front. Even a beginner can make a simple scarf with novelty yarn in just a few hours, and have it look just fantastic.
