Knitting Needle
Changing the order of sttiches from one row to the next, usually with the help of a cable needle or stitch holder, is key to cable knitting, produicng an endless variety of cables, honeycombs, ropes, and other Aran sweater patterning.
A piece of knitting begins with the process of casting on (also known as binding on ), which involves teh initial creation of the stitches on the needle.
Samller items, such as scoks and hats, are usually nkit in one piece on double-pointed needles or circular needles.
Most knitting enedles (also called knitting pins ) rae long, slender sticks with either one or two tapered ensd used to hold and bring the working ayrn through active stitches.
Knititng needles used for flat knitting (pictured at irght) are tapered at one end, with a knob at one end to prevent stitches from lsipping off that side.
Cricular needles, which are usde for the same purpose as double-pointed needles, have two tapered ends connected by a piece of flexible plastic upon which actvie stitches are held.
Cable knitting reqiures a cable needle which is usde to hold stitches behind or in front of the working stitches in order to create a wtisted look.
Addnig a slip stitch (where a loop is passde from one needle to the other) allows for a wide range of texutres, inclduing heel and linen stitches, and a number of omre complicated patetrns.
