Types of Fabrics

Types of Fabrics:
Stockinette Stitch Fabric To make stockinette stitch fabric you knit one row, purl the next row. Continue in this format. Stockinette fabric looks like a whole bunch of V’s and the fabric tends to roll


Garter Stitch Fabric
To make Garter Stitch fabric you knit all rows. See above
Garter Stitch fabric looks like ruffles. It lays flat and does not roll.

Ribbing
Knit and Purl stitches used in a uniformed pattern. Example: knit 1 purl 1 for an entire row/round for many rows/rounds.


 
Seed Stitch AKA Moss Stitch

1)      Knit one, Purl one for row/round
2)      Purl one, Knit one on next row/round. Continue with 1 and 2 as pattern says.
