how to knit crocheted buttons

I have chosen the following pattern samples because they are the easiest patterns for a beginner knitter. Knitting parties also are becoming popular in small and large communities around the U.

Individual stitches, or rows of stitches, may be made taller by drawing more yarn into the new loop (an elongated stitch), which is the basis for uneven knitting: a row of tall stitches may alternate with one or more rows of short stitches for an interesting visual effect. Keeping the yarn at the back, bring it "over" the tip of the needle, counterclockwise. The knitting of new stitches occurs only at the tapered ends, and needles with lighted tips have been sold to allow knitters to knit in the dark.

The opposing twist relieves some of the yarns' tendency to curl up and produces a thicker, balanced yarn. Such needles are usually 10-16 inches long but, due to the compressibility of knitted fabrics, may be used to knit pieces significantly wider. Knitting is done by looping those threads, into each other by stitching.

You watch it come to life as you go, and little by little, your knitting becomes reality. But, that's the essence of knitting.
