It's the Knits

This is our Stitches.

We found a couple of websites that can help with knitting stitches. This helps if you with casting on and off, basic knits and more advanced knitting techniques.

We would like to show you the different types of stitches we have done, starting with the more simpler ones and then moving on to the more advanced.

All knitting was done by right-handed continental knitting, unless otherwise stated.

CO = Cast on
BO = Bind off
st = Stitch
R = Row
K = Knit
P = Purl
sl = Slip a stitch
RS = Right side
WS = Wrong side
rep = repeat
* = repeat from here

We will write out the first two patterns to make it easier for you to understand the abbreviations.

This method is done exactly the same as the stocking stitch. The only difference is that the reverse side is now being used. So the right side (RS) now becomes the wrong side (WS).
