The process of knitting has three basic tasks: (1) the active (unsecured) stitches must be held so they don't drop; (2) these stitches must be released sometime after they are secured; and (3) new bights of yarn must be passed through the fabric, usually through active stitches, thus securing them. Knitting has become very popular in recent years.

Stockinette Stitch, also called Stocking Stitch is the most widely used stitch for knitted projects. A wale can split into two or more wales using increases, most commonly involving a yarn over. The knitting yarn should be at the back of the work.

Dpns are typically used for circular knitting, especially smaller tube-shaped pieces such as sleeves, collars, and socks; usually one needle is active while the others hold the remaining active stitches. These tools are knitting needles and ancillary tools. 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.

Knit it like you would knit any stitch. It doesn't all happen at once.
