If you are looking for the perfect gift for that special newborn baby, why not consider a knit baby blanket? Knitters were first believed to have begun their craft in the first few centuries AD.
Thus, a simple way to change gauge is to use different needles, which is the basis of uneven knitting. Long loops can also be drawn out and secured, forming a "shaggy" texture to the fabric; this is known as loop knitting. They are used for knitting socks, hats, and sleeves.
Plants used for fibers include cotton, flax (for linen), bamboo, ramie, hemp, jute, nettle, raffia, yucca, coconut husk, banana trees, soy and corn. Now count the stitches to make sure you haven't dropped any and turn the work around putting the knitting needle with the stitches on in your left hand to start the next row. To begin you can knit a nice pashmina style stole, just with three hundred stitches, if garter stitch means only knit stitches no purl stitches.
All it consists of is knitting one row, then purling the next, and so on, and so on. Even a beginner can make a simple scarf with novelty yarn in just a few hours, and have it look just fantastic.
