As we know, all knitted fabrics are made using two basic stitches, knit and purl. Sock-knitting machines are used to make socks.
The darning needle is useful when tucking in those loose ends if you prefer instead of the crochet hook. These balls are usually sold with yarn bands which will give the details of that yarn which you are purchasing. The two types of stitches have a different visual effect; the knit stitches look like "V"'s stacked vertically, whereas the purl stitches look like a wavy horizontal line across the fabric.
I love the new kids needles that are about 7 inches long. Even a beginning knitter can make wonderful gifts that will show your love and creativity! Start with the knitting needle with the cast on stitches in your left hand.
