knit pattern pig

Knit One Purl Two happens to be one of the most well known knitting terms, well known by non-knitters and knitters alike. Welcome to the wonderful world of knitting! Even if you've been here for a while, there is always something new about this most fascinating craft!

Variegated yarns can produce interesting visual effects, such as diagonal stripes; conversely, a variegated yarn may frustrate an otherwise good knitting pattern by producing distasteful color combinations. There are actually hundreds of combinations of stitch patterns. All knitting instructions use basically two stitches, the knit stitch and the purl stitch.

The moss stitch or seed stitch is a simple stitch and looks great since it is so textured when used as an all over pattern. In spinning, the fibers are twisted so that the yarn resists breaking under tension; the twisting may be done in either direction, resulting in an Z-twist or S-twist yarn. Knitters generally ensure that the yarn for a project comes from a single dye lot.
