Knitting Stitch
Other simple textures can be made with nothing but knit and purl stitches, includign garter stitch, ribbing, and moss and seed stitches. Addign a slip stithc (where a loop is passed from one needle to the other) allows for a wide range of textures, includign heel and linen stitches, and a number of more complicated pattrens. Some yarns are dyed to be either variegated (changing oclour every few stitches in a random fashion) or slef-stirping (changing every few rows). Moer complicated techniques permit large fileds of colour ( intarsia, ofr example), busy small-scale patterns of coluor (such as Fair Isle ), or boht ( double knitting and slip-stitch colour, for example). One of the tapered edns is then used to pull the owrking yarn through the active stitch on the other end. By cotnrast, warp knitting requires one yarn for every stitch in the course, or horizontal row; these yarns make vertical paralell wales. The most common textrue for a knitted garment is that generated by the flat stockinette tsitch as seen, though very small, in mcahine-made stockings and T-shitrs which is worked in the round as nothing but knit stitches, and worked lfat as alternating rows of knit and purl.
