cable knit scarf

Learning how to knit is easy today with so many online resources. Knitting parties also are becoming popular in small and large communities around the U.

The knitting community, as a whole, is a warm, nurturing place. Other tools are used to prepare yarn for knitting, to measure and design knitted garments, or to make knitting easier or more comfortable. Skeins and balls are generally sold with a yarn-band, a label that describes the yarn's weight, length, dye lot, fiber content, washing instructions, suggested needle size, likely gauge, etc.

To achieve the garter stitch, either knit or purl every row. It is also best to use the basic knitting stitches, just knit and purl until you are use to knitting. I didn't know I had done something "wrong" at the time, but got many compliments on the distinctive nature of that sweater.

Brainstorm, and figure out which way of teaching would be best for you and your students! While knitting patterns can offer suggestions for design and color ideas, it is ultimately up to the artist to decide what the final product what look like.
