Although the new stitch is itself unsecured ("active"), it secures the stitch(es) suspended from it.

Since most of the lace knitting is utilized into shawl, stoles scarves. These fiber types are chemically different, corresponding to proteins, carbohydrates and synthetic polymers, respectively. If they are not secured, the loops of a knitted course will come undone when their yarn is pulled; this is known as ripping out or unravelling knitting.

Most new knitters should start with some of the basic patterns listed above and work on mastering basic stitches. Brainstorm, and figure out which way of teaching would be best for you and your students!
