free knit patterns

Learning how to knit is easy today with so many online resources. I have chosen the following pattern samples because they are the easiest patterns for a beginner knitter.

Each pattern requires that you knit a certain number of stitches using a particular yarn and a specified needle. They are used for knitting socks, hats, and sleeves. When children learn to knit, they also learn to set goals, stick with something until the end, and accomplish something special.

If the fibers are first aligned by combing them, the yarn is smoother and called a worsted; by contrast, if the fibers are carded but not combed, the yarn is fuzzier and called woolen-spun. The first and most common type consists of two slender, straight sticks tapered to a point at one end, and with a knob at the other end to prevent stitches from slipping off. Although the mechanics are different from casting on, there is a similar variety of methods.
