For large or complex patterns, it is sometimes difficult to keep track of which stitch should be knit in an particular way; therefore, several tools have been developed to identify the number of a particular row or stitch, including circular stitch markers, hanging markers, extra yarn and counters. Knitting is done by looping those threads, into each other by stitching.

Knitting is done by looping those threads, into each other by stitching. Now count the stitches to make sure you haven't dropped any and turn the work around putting the knitting needle with the stitches on in your left hand to start the next row. Short and tall stitches may also alternate within a row, forming a fish-like oval pattern.
