free easy knit slipper patterns

Knitting threads or yarns are used to create cloths or warm cloths. Knitting is the oldest craft among all the crafts.

By using simple stitches, a person will be able to create a blanket. Not every stitch in a row need be knitted; some may be left as is and knitted on a subsequent row. If the fibers are first aligned by combing them, the yarn is smoother and called a worsted; by contrast, if the fibers are carded but not combed, the yarn is fuzzier and called woolen-spun.

Before you start with a pattern as a beginner, you should know the basic stitches including the knit stitch and purl stitch. The process of knitting has three basic tasks, the active stitches must be held so they don't drop, these stitches must be released sometime after they are secured and new bights of yarn must be passed through the fabric, usually through active stitches, thus securing them.
