Let me start by introducing you to the five stitch types that I believe are at the very heart of knitting! Here's how I care for the things I have been knitting.

The new stitch is now on the right needle. Knitting is an art from ancient times. This can be obtained with short rows or by increasing/decreasing the number of stitches.

Cable needles are a special case of dpns, although they usually are not straight, but dimpled in the middle. The second type of knitting needles are straight, double-pointed knitting needles (also called "dpns"). Catch the knitting yarn on the end on the right knitting needle and pull it through the first stitch to the front of the work.

Before knitting, the knitter will typically transform a hank into a ball where the yarn emerges from the center of the ball; this making the knitting easier by preventing the yarn from becoming easily tangled. In general, yarns become stronger with more twist (also called worst), longer fibers and thicker yarns (more fibers); for example, thinner yarns require more twist than do thicker yarns to resist breaking under tension.

To do a yarn-over after a knit stitch, just bring your yarn across your work from the back to the front. Get knitting!
