Originally, circular knitting was done using a set of four or five double-pointed knitting needles. Let's start with some basic patterns.
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. First find a pattern with the some basic knitting instructions; a small flat item really is best. Take it from me, when you knit-it-yourself, it feels good!
For large or complex patterns, it is sometimes difficult to keep track of which stitch should be knit in an particular way; therefore, several tools have been developed to identify the number of a particular row or stitch, including circular stitch markers, hanging markers, extra yarn and counters. It has slowed somewhat, but its enduring nature is a testament to both the relaxation it bestows on the practitioner, and the joy of craftsmanship. The most basic type of knitting is called the knit stitch.
All it consists of is knitting one row, then purling the next, and so on, and so on. Patterns for knitting provide a strong outline and foundation for starting any new knitting project.
