how to knit a miniature sweater

There are different knitting patterns, such as lace knitting, loop knitting, loom knitting, we will briefly discuss lace knitting, lace knitting is not that strange, anybody can do lace knitting, they are able to form threads and you can create beautiful patterns of cloths. In this brief article we aim to just give a basic understanding of knitting needles, their sizing and what you need to look out for.

For example, differently colored leaves and petals of a flower could be knit separately and applied to form the final picture. The second type of knitting needles are straight, double-pointed knitting needles (also called "dpns"). A good place to start particularly if you are relatively new to knitting to look for patterns is the yarn skein, which comes wrapped and nearly every one of these will have a pattern on it.

The other advantage is that these patterns are in effect free. Knitting clubs have sprung up in recent years which may be worth investigating if there is no one else who can teach the art of knitting. Before you start with a pattern as a beginner, you should know the basic stitches including the knit stitch and purl stitch.

Good luck with your knitting. These few basic knitting instructions are the foundation of any project you will ever knit.
