how to sew on knit material

I wanted to set out some basic knitting in Knitting is worked in rounds (the equivalent of rows in flat knitting) in a spiral.

A modern knitting machine in the process of weft knitting. Knitting is the process done by the loops, and these loops are stitched through each others and this way, you will get different patterns of the cloths and fabrics. Flat knitting is usually used to knit flat pieces like scarves, blankets, afghans, and the backs and fronts of sweaters.

First the skill level; it can be easy, medium, hard or beginner, intermediate or advance, each pattern has specific skill level, you can start with beginner and then go for complex advanced patterns. 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. It has slowed somewhat, but its enduring nature is a testament to both the relaxation it bestows on the practitioner, and the joy of craftsmanship.

Be sure to try using other available resources, such as local craft and hobby stores. Get knitting!
