baby blanket knit crochet

Welcome to the wonderful world of knitting! Even if you've been here for a while, there is always something new about this most fascinating craft! I think when people try to learn to knit they choose the wrong pattern and the wrong supplies.

Wrap the knitting yarn around the tip of the right knitting needle, crossing over the two needles and hanging once again in front. On the left are a pair of scissors, a yarn needle, green and blue stitch markers, and two orange point protectors. In securing the previous stitch in a wale, the next stitch can pass through the previous loop either from below or above.

Plied yarns may themselves be plied together, producing cabled yarns or multi-stranded yarns. Knitters have developed methods for giving the illusion of a circular wale, such as appear in Celtic knots, but these are inexact approximations. Fabrics in which the number of knit and purl stitches are not the same, such as stockinette, have a tendency to curl; by contrast, those in which knit and purl stitches are arranged symmetrically (such as ribbing, garter stitch or seed stitch) tend to lie flat and drape well.

Take your time and understand the information on this site and you will be able to knit anything you want. You'll be amazed at how much faster the second, third, and fourth version of the same pattern can be.
