How To Knit ?

Knitting is a method by which thread or yarn may be turned into cloth or other fine crafts. Knitted fabric consists of consecutive rows of loops, called stitches. As each row progresses, a new loop is pulled through an existing loop. The active stitches are held on a needle until another loop can be passed through them. This process eventually results in a final product, often a garment.Knitting may be done by hand or by machine. There exist numerous styles and methods of hand knitting

There are many hundreds of different knitting stitches used by knitters. A piece of knitting begins with the process of casting on (also known as "binding on"), which involves the initial creation of the stitches on the needle. Different methods of casting on are used for different effects: one may be stretchy enough for lace, while another provides a decorative edging — Provisional cast-ons are used when the knitting will continue in both directions from the cast-on. There are various method employed to "cast on," such as the "thumb method" (also known as "slingshot" or "long-tail" cast-ons), where the stitches are created by a series of loops that will, when knitted, give a very loose edge ideal for "picking up stitches" and knitting a border; the "double needle method" (also known as "knit-on" or "cable cast-on"), whereby each loop placed on the needle is then "knitted on," which produces a firmer edge ideal on its own as a border; and many more. The number of active stitches remains the same as when cast on unless stitches are added (an increase) or removed (a decrease).

The process of knitting has three basic tasks:
  1. the active (unsecured) stitches must be held so they don't drop
  2. these stitches must be released sometime after they are secured
  3. new bights of yarn must be passed through the fabric, usually through active stitches, thus securing them.
Materials we will needed :

1. Yarn
 



2. Needles
 



 Now follow these step by step on my older post :

1. Cast On
2. Knit Garter Stitch ( Every Row )
3. Knit Stocking Stitch ( One Row Knit, One Row )
4. Cast Off
5. Decrease in Stocking Stitch
6. Increase In Knit Row
