Cast On
Casting on creates the initial stitches on the needle to begin a knitting project.
Knitting
Knitting is a craft that involves creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn using two or more knitting needles. It is a popular method for making a variety of items, including clothing (like sweaters and socks), accessories (such as scarves and hats), and home goods (like blankets and dishcloths).
The basic technique involves creating stitches in a row, with each stitch formed by wrapping the yarn around a needle and pulling it through existing stitches. There are many different stitch patterns and techniques in knitting, including purling, cabling, and colorwork, which allow for a wide range of textures and designs.
Knitting can be a relaxing and rewarding hobby, and many people enjoy the meditative quality of the repetitive motions involved. Plus, it allows for creativity in selecting yarn colors, patterns, and styles!
Knit Stitch
The knit stitch forms a smooth fabric by pulling yarn through the stitch.
Purl Stitch
The purl stitch creates a bumpy texture by bringing the yarn from back to front.
Cast Off
Casting off secures the final stitches and prevents unraveling in knitting.
