KNITTING BLOGS TIPS

I wanted to set out some basic KNITTING BLOGS instructions as a refresher so here it is. All KNITTING BLOGS instructions use basically two stitches, the knit stitch and the purl stitch. Once you know these two KNITTING BLOGS essentials you will be able to follow most KNITTING BLOGS instructions which are just combinations or variations of these two stitches.

KNITTING BLOGS Instructions for the Knit Stitch

Once you have cast on, hold the KNITTING BLOGS needle with the cast on stitches in your left hand. Push the point of the right KNITTING BLOGS needle in between the front of the first and second stitches, pointing the KNITTING BLOGS needle to the right to feed the point through the first stitch keeping it under the left needle. The KNITTING BLOGS yarn should be at the back of the work. Loop the KNITTING BLOGS yarn around the right KNITTING BLOGS needle from back to front, letting the KNITTING BLOGS yarn rest between the needles. Catch the KNITTING BLOGS yarn on the end on the right KNITTING BLOGS needle and pull it through the first stitch to the front of the work. Slip the old stitch off the left needle. The new stitch is now on the right needle. Now you are getting the hang of the KNITTING BLOGS instructions.

It is a good idea to keep the KNITTING BLOGS yarn draped over the right forefinger, this keeps it to the back of the work too. Repeat this process until all stitches are on the right KNITTING BLOGS needle. Now count the stitches, if they are all there, turn the right KNITTING BLOGS needle around and put it in the left hand. This is the first row from your KNITTING BLOGS instructions. The KNITTING BLOGS yarn will look like it is at the front and you will now take it to the back and start the second row of transferring stitches to the empty right needle.

KNITTING BLOGS Instructions for the Purl Stitch

The Purl stitch will also be in any KNITTING BLOGS instructions. Start with the KNITTING BLOGS needle with the cast on stitches in your left hand. Your KNITTING BLOGS yarn will be hanging in front. Push point of right KNITTING BLOGS needle into the front of the first stitch from right to left. Wrap the KNITTING BLOGS yarn around the tip of the right KNITTING BLOGS needle, crossing over the two needles and hanging once again in front. Slide the right KNITTING BLOGS needle down and back taking the new loop of KNITTING BLOGS yarn from front to back, through the old stitch. Slip the old stitch off the left KNITTING BLOGS needle. If you have followed the KNITTING BLOGS instructions you now have a stitch in purl on the right KNITTING BLOGS needle and the yarn is hanging, once again, in the front. Repeat this process until all stitches are on the right KNITTING BLOGS needle. Now count the stitches to make sure you haven't dropped any and turn the work around putting the KNITTING BLOGS needle with the stitches on in your left hand to start the next row.

I hope you could follow my basic KNITTING BLOGS instructions. I have a lot more information about KNITTING BLOGS on my KNITTING BLOGS Instructions blog so please join me there to learn more.
