free pattern for knit mittens

Knitting is no longer only for grandmothers or just any mothers. For many people one of the most enjoyable aspects of the craft is browsing through the many yarns available in a knitting shop.

A wale can split into two or more wales using increases, most commonly involving a yarn over. Knitting has been around for thousands of years, and probably always will be. The choice available is vast and the decision depends on what garment you want to create.

In general, yarns become stronger with more twist (also called worst), longer fibers and thicker yarns (more fibers); for example, thinner yarns require more twist than do thicker yarns to resist breaking under tension. Slip-stitch knitting plays an important role in mosaic knitting, an important technique in hand-knitting patterned fabrics; mosaic-knit fabrics tend to be stiffer than patterned fabrics produced by other methods such as Fair-Isle knitting. These developments made possible the shaping of hosiery and other pieces of clothing.

The diameter affects the size of stitches, which affects the gauge of the knitting and the elasticity of the fabric. The resilience and propensity to (un)twist are general properties that affect the ease of hand-knitting.

Get knitting! You watch it come to life as you go, and little by little, your knitting becomes reality.
