I’m going to be writing up a pattern for this blanket soon, because it is so much simpler to do than it looks. An ideal new-knitter project, it is entirely made with just cast on, cast off, knit, purl, and yarn-over stitches.

What does this mean when knitting?

Question by : What does this mean when knitting?
I am trying to knit a flower and it says knit 4 stitches 9 times. What does that mean? I was thinking that it meant knit 36 stitches, but then that did not add up to the pattern and the number of stitches that I have on the needle. Can someone please help?
–Knit 60 stitches. All the rows will be knitted producing the garter stitch, a soft, textured pattern. Turn work then knit the first two stitches. Yarn over, knit two stitches together and knit four stitches nine times. Yarn over, knit two together and knit the last two stitches to complete the second row.

These socks pay tribute to the time of harvest, the culmination of a thousand tiny
miracles that embody the growing season. Earthworms work the soil at your feet, restoring the
biological dross of previous years to the promise of new life. A leafy stalk, heavy with fruit,
bursts from the gusset on top of your foot; there to dry in the waning summer sun, in
anticipation of the approaching harvest. Sow your stitches carefully and prepare to reap a
beautiful pair of hand-knit socks…and the cycle of life continues.
This advanced-skill level sock pattern is worked from the toe up using multiple charts. Stitches
include, bobbles, cables, lace, twisted stitches and dropped yarn-overs.

How to make an Inc1 in knitting?

February 27, 2012 - 6:56 am 4 Comments

Question by ^Madio^: How to make an Inc1 in knitting?
I am knitting a purse (i’m a beginner) and the pattern states:

Inc1= k and p into the same stitch

I am familiar with yarn over (yo) and knit front and back (KFB). Thus I’m not sure how to do the above mentioned increase. I tried knitting and purling the same stitch but it didn’t look right. Perhaps I wasn’t doing it right. I searched for videos for this increase online but couldn’t find one. Can somebody help me with this?
Thanks.
