Complete Guide on Knitting Designs: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide to Learn Knitting

By Mike Woodland

Hand and machine knitted fabric is created by interlocking a series of loops. The loops (stitches) are interlocked using a needle to hold the existing loop while a new loop is formed in front of the old loop.Graphic showing how the loops fit together. The old loop is then brought over the new loop to form the fabric. Knitting differs from weaving in that a single piece of yarn can be used to create fabric. The fabric consists of horizontal rows known as courses and vertical columns of loops known as wales. Knitted fabric has useful properties that make it suitable for a range of garments including tights, gloves, underwear and other close-fitting garments. The loop structure of knitted fabric stretches and moulds to fit body shapes. The air trapped by the loops keeps the wearer warm.Fashioning, loops and ladders. When knitting, increasing or decreasing the number of stitches in a row widens or narrows the garment being created. Increasing is achieved by moving outer loops sideways on a frame and creating extra loops.
