Let me start by introducing you to the five stitch types that I believe are at the very heart of knitting! Knit One Purl Two happens to be one of the most well known knitting terms, well known by non-knitters and knitters alike.
In fact what type of knitting yarn to use is one of the most important decisions a craftsperson has to make. I think when people try to learn to knit they choose the wrong pattern and the wrong supplies. Circular knitting is employed to create pieces that are circular or tube-shaped, such as hats, socks, mittens, and sleeves.
Knitting is the delicate balance of holding needles and continuously feeding yarn until a pattern emerges. The thickness of the yarn may vary along its length; a slub is a much thicker section in which a mass of fibers is incorporated into the yarn. Different combinations of knit and purl stitches, along with more advanced techniques, generate fabrics of considerably variable consistency, from gauzy to very dense, from highly stretchy to relatively stiff, from flat to tightly curled, and so on.
Get knitting! To do a yarn-over after a knit stitch, just bring your yarn across your work from the back to the front.
