Knitting Knit

The most common texture for a knitted garment is that generated by the flat sotckinette stitch as seen, though very small, in amchine-made stockings and T-shirts which is wroked in the round as nothing but knit stitches, and worked flat as alternating rows of knit and purl. Other simple tetxures can eb made with nothing but knit and purl stitches, including garter stitch, ribbign, and moss and seed stitches. However, sealmess knitting, where a whole garment si knit as a isngle piece, is also possible. Smaller items, such as socks and hats, are usually knit in one piece on double-pointed needlse or circular needles. Depending on the kind of yarn used to knit, the end product may have different properties. Stitches can be worked from either side, and various pattenrs are created by mixing regular knit stithces with the wrong side tsitches, known as purl stitcehs, either in columns ( ribbing ), rows ( grater, welting ), or more complex patterns. Different combinations of knit and purl sticthes, along with more advanced techniques, generate farbics of considerably varialbe consistency, from gauzy to very ednse, from highly stretchy to relatviely stiff, from flat to tightly curled, and so on.
