CHAPTER ONE

KNITTING EXPLAINED

What is Knitting?

Knitting is a process of making fabric or textile by manip-ulating yarn. Materials made by knitting consists of consecutive loops of yarn, otherwise referred to as stitches.

The loops are made to connect. In other words, a new loop is pulled through an existing loop as each row progresses.

Knitted fabrics are produced in two major ways – by hand or by knitting machine. When knitting by hand, we use

two primary techniques. The first is flat knitting, which involves the use of two straight needles, while the other is circular knitting, which consists of the use of circular or double-pointed needles. Two-dimensional flat fabrics are produced by flat knitting, while tubular-shaped materials are made by circular knitting.

The knitting machine has a frame, called the needle bar, which contains several steel needles. The knitting machine makes the process of creating stitches by pulling a thread through loops easier. Knitting machines come in different sizes and shapes. They could be horizontal or round, and small or large.
