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:
- the active (unsecured) stitches must be held so they don't drop
- these stitches must be released sometime after they are secured
- new bights of yarn must be passed through the fabric, usually through active stitches, thus securing them.
