how to knit european style

The process of knitting has three basic tasks: (1) the active (unsecured) stitches must be held so they don't drop; (2) these stitches must be released sometime after they are secured; and (3) new bights of yarn must be passed through the fabric, usually through active stitches, thus securing them. Knitting needles in a variety of sizes (US 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15 from the bottom).

When the needle passes in the cam shell path, the knitting is made. Flat knitting, on the other hand, is used, in its most basic form, to make flat, rectangular pieces of cloth. There are many easy to use -patterned sock yarns, sold in the market.

Individual stitches, or rows of stitches, may be made taller by drawing more yarn into the new loop (an elongated stitch), which is the basis for uneven knitting: a row of tall stitches may alternate with one or more rows of short stitches for an interesting visual effect. There are old favourites such as books and magazines. In the simplest knitted fabrics, all of the stitches are knit or purl; these fabrics are denoted as stockinette and reverse stockinette, respectively.

Most new knitters should start with some of the basic patterns listed above and work on mastering basic stitches. It doesn't all happen at once.
