how to knit a scarf

Posted here are some easy knitting instructions for beginners. Knitting consists of loops called stitches pulled through each other.

In lace knitting, the pattern is formed by making small, stable holes in the fabric, generally with yarn overs. There are so many different fibers and needles that are used to make those different varieties of cloth pieces such as table cloths, handkerchiefs and etc. Heathered yarns contain small amounts of fibre of different colours, while tweed yarns may have greater amounts of different coloured fibres.

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%. As we know by lace knitting we can interlace Shawls. Extra curvature can be introduced into knitted garments without seams, as in the heel of a sock; the effect of darts, flares, etc.
