If you are looking for the perfect gift for that special newborn baby, why not consider a knit baby blanket? Knitting is worked in rounds (the equivalent of rows in flat knitting) in a spiral.
When the needle passes in the cam shell path, the knitting is made. Smaller items, such as socks and hats, are usually knit in one piece on double-pointed needles or circular needles. Knitting is the delicate balance of holding needles and continuously feeding yarn until a pattern emerges.
Remember to use the knowledge of the yarn supplier so that you can get the best yarn for the job you have lined up. For comparison, woven garments stretch mainly along one direction (the bias) and not very much, unless they are woven from stretchable material such as Lycra. Separately knitted tubes can be applied to a knitted fabric to form complex Celtic knots and other patterns that would be difficult to knit.
Patterns for knitting provide a strong outline and foundation for starting any new knitting project. Most new knitters should start with some of the basic patterns listed above and work on mastering basic stitches.
