how do you knit a beanie

I wanted to set out some basic knitting in Knitting may be done by hand or by machine.

Separately knitted tubes can be applied to a knitted fabric to form complex Celtic knots and other patterns that would be difficult to knit. A second potential difficulty is that the knitted piece will slide off the tapered end of the needles when unattended; this is prevented by "point protectors" that cap the tapered ends. In spinning, the fibers are twisted so that the yarn resists breaking under tension; the twisting may be done in either direction, resulting in an Z-twist or S-twist yarn.

After the setup of bonnet, scrap or waste yarn should be used. To form a "knit stitch" you use one needle to pull a loop of yarn through the existing stitch on the other needle. Since most of the lace knitting is utilized into shawl, stoles scarves.

The color-scheme of a yarn is sometimes called its colorway. A circular needle resembles two short knitting needles connected by a cable between them.

Once you learn the basics of knitting, you will want to continue progressing to more advanced stitches and knitting patterns. You'll be amazed at how much faster the second, third, and fourth version of the same pattern can be.
