Knitting is the art of turning threads int Let me start by introducing you to the five stitch types that I believe are at the very heart of knitting!
Knitted garments are often more form-fitting than woven garments, since their elasticity allows them to follow the body's curvature closely; by contrast, curvature is introduced into most woven garments only with sewn darts, flares, gussets and gores, the seams of which lower the elasticity of the woven fabric still further. In securing the previous stitch in a wale, the next stitch can pass through the previous loop either from below or above. Flat knitting is usually used to knit flat pieces like scarves, blankets, afghans, and the backs and fronts of sweaters.
Plied yarns may themselves be plied together, producing cabled yarns or multi-stranded yarns. These meandering loops can be stretched easily in different directions, which gives knitting much more elasticity than woven fabrics; depending on the yarn and knitting pattern, knitted garments can stretch as much as 500%. Knitting has been around for thousands of years, and probably always will be.
Even if you're a pretty proficient knitter, this isn't the time to learn a new technique or work with a skinny fingering-weight yarn that will take forever to knit up. Patterns for knitting provide a strong outline and foundation for starting any new knitting project.
