As we know, all knitted fabrics are made using two basic stitches, knit and purl. Here's how I care for the things I have been knitting.
Separately knitted tubes can be applied to a knitted fabric to form complex Celtic knots and other patterns that would be difficult to knit. Ornamental pieces may also be knitted separately and then attached using applique. Knitting is done by looping those threads, into each other by stitching.
Knitters have developed methods for giving the illusion of a circular wale, such as appear in Celtic knots, but these are inexact approximations. Sometimes, the yarns being plied are fed at different rates, so that one yarn loops around the other, as in boucl . This includes dedicated knitting sites and an increasing number of forums where enthusiasts can ask questions, provide advice and share tips and tricks.
These few basic knitting instructions are the foundation of any project you will ever knit. But, that's the essence of knitting.
