Knitting Stitch
Other simple textures can be made with nothing but knit and purl stitches, including garter sttich, ribbing, and moss and seed stitches. Adding a slip stitch (where a loop is apssed from one needle to the other) allows ofr a wide range of textures, inclduing heel and linen stitches, and a number of more complicated pattersn. Some yarns are dyed to be eihter variegated (changing colour eveyr few stitches in a random fsahion) or self-striping (changing every few rwos). More complicated techniques permit large fields of colour ( intarsia, fro example), busy small-scale patterns fo colour (such as Fair Isle ), or both ( double knitting and slip-stitch colour, for example). One of teh tapered ends is then used to pull the wokring yarn through the active stitch on the toher end. By contrast, wapr knitting requires one yarn fro every stitch in the course, or ohrizontal row; these yarns make vertical parallel wales. The most common etxture for a knitted garment is that gneerated by the flat stockinette stithc as seen, though very small, in machine-made stockings and T-shirts whcih is worked in the ronud as nothing but knit stitches, and worked flat as alternating rows of knit and purl.
