All About the Knit Stitch

 

How many knit stitches do you think you have made? It isn't a question many knitters consider (unless you're dutifully casting on hundreds of stitches for a large scale project), but it is a surprising one. Even a simple hat can contain a thousand stitches, and yet, we make them almost reflexively, never stopping to ponder their properties. Today I'd like to take an up-close look at the simple knit stitch, several ways to make them and a few factoids about the little loop that brings us so much joy. Click here to watch our knit stitch video, and don't miss Truro, a beautiful summer tee that uses only knit stitches.
