knit a water bottle cozy

Here's how I care for the things I have been knitting. Knitting as an art and a craft was kept alive only as a hobby

I knit everything through the back loop, the result a twisted stitch which worked wonderfully with the yarn I was using. Hand-knitters generally produce right-plaited stitches by knitting or purling through the back loops, i. Having a smoother surface, metal needles tend to produce faster knitting but stitches are more likely to slide off by accident.

Knitting is done by looping those threads, into each other by stitching. The tips of the outermost, longest one is US size 5 and chrome-plated for speed, whereas the innermost tips are wood and US size 15; the middle red metal tips are US size 9. I think when people try to learn to knit they choose the wrong pattern and the wrong supplies.

Knit it like you would knit any stitch. Keep looking around this site for lots of tips, patterns, resources and ideas.
