free knit scarf patterns

Knitting is the art of turning threads int Knitting as an art and a craft was kept alive only as a hobby

Plants used for fibers include cotton, flax (for linen), bamboo, ramie, hemp, jute, nettle, raffia, yucca, coconut husk, banana trees, soy and corn. In knitting you are often counting your stitches and focusing on nothing more than the stitches being created and the count itself. The thread used in weaving is usually much finer than the yarn used in knitting, which can make the knitted fabric bulkier and have less drape than a woven fabric.

Additional patterns can be made on the surface of the knitted fabric using embroidery; if the embroidery resembles knitting, it is often called Swiss darning. The most important property of needles is their diameter, which ranges from below 2 mm to 25 mm (roughly 1 inch). There is some merit to leaving the error in place.

Once you learn the basics of knitting, you will want to continue progressing to more advanced stitches and knitting patterns. Be sure to try using other available resources, such as local craft and hobby stores.
