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!
All you need to start knitting are knitting needles, yarn and good patterns or instructions. Fabrics in which the number of knit and purl stitches are not the same, such as stockinette, have a tendency to curl; by contrast, those in which knit and purl stitches are arranged symmetrically (such as ribbing, garter stitch or seed stitch) tend to lie flat and drape well. This is because there are numerous textures of yarn and a vast array of colours to choose from.
After all, it is the experience of knitting that we are seeking, more so than the finished-object. Not every stitch in a row need be knitted; some may be left as is and knitted on a subsequent row. This can be used as the fashion and design in which these scarves are designed, or try knitting the stockinet stitch scarf with fuzzy yarn.
You will have only one new stitch from two. 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.
