If you are looking for the perfect gift for that special newborn baby, why not consider a knit baby blanket? Originally, circular knitting was done using a set of four or five double-pointed knitting needles.
The pattern is knit first stitch, purl next stitch and repeat until the row is knit. These meandering loops can be stretched easily in different directions, which gives knitting much more elasticity than woven fabrics; depending on the yarn and knitting pattern, knitted garments can stretch as much as 500%. Push point of right knitting needle into the front of the first stitch from right to left.
It is important to know the size of your knitting needles because their size is related to the size of your stitches and, implicitly, to the appearance of the finished work. You can knit blankets for the elderly in cold climates, "comfort dolls" to comfort children with AIDS in Africa, or hats and scarves for the homeless. This is because there are numerous textures of yarn and a vast array of colours to choose from.
Even if you're a pretty proficient knitter, this isn't the time to learn a new technique or work with a skinny fingering-weight yarn that will take forever to knit up. We hope you found the information here inspiring, please have a look around this site for more great info.
