Knit Stitch
The knit stitch is one of the most basic techniques in knitting, forming the foundation for many patterns and projects. It creates a smooth, V-shaped texture on the front side of the fabric, while the back side appears bumpy. To execute a knit stitch, the yarn is wrapped around the needle and pulled through a loop, creating a new stitch.
Knit stitches can be combined with other techniques, such as the purl stitch, to create various patterns and textures. Mastering the knit stitch is essential for beginners, as it opens the door to more complex knitting projects, including scarves, sweaters, and blankets.
