I think when people try to learn to knit they choose the wrong pattern and the wrong supplies. Knitters were first believed to have begun their craft in the first few centuries AD.
Fabrics in which the number of knit and purl stitches are not the same, such as stockinette, have a tendency to curl; by contrast, those in which knit and purl stitches are arranged symmetrically (such as ribbing, garter stitch or seed stitch) tend to lie flat and drape well. Repeat the whole procedure till you transfer all stitches from left needle to right needle. Special kits are available that allow circular needles of various lengths and diameters to be made as needed; rigid ends of various diameters may be screwed into strands of various lengths.
Knitting may be hand made or machine made. I love the new kids needles that are about 7 inches long. By the way, you can learn more about a Knit Baby Blanket as well as much more information on all t
You also will usually want to stick with chunky yarns (this is a good use for "novelty" yarns, which have lots of texture and are usually thick but also light and fluffy), since they knit up quickly so you can make more presents. Brainstorm, and figure out which way of teaching would be best for you and your students!
