General rules for knitting help

Keep these knitting help rules in mind and you will find your knitting time advance....

RULE 1: In all knitting unless otherwise specified in directions (except when working round and round) the first stitch should always be slipped off without knitting.

RULE 2: The widening or narrowing should always be done on the second stitch from beginning and next to the last stitch at ending of needle.

To Widen: To widen in knitting, knit the stitch but do not slip it off the left hand needle, then knit the back half of same stitch and slip stitch off. This makes the two stitches in one.

To Narrow: To narrow in knitting, knit two stitches together. In some patterns it is necessary to narrow by what is called ‘slip and bind’ which is slip off stitch from the left hand needle on to right hand needle, then knit the next stitch and put left hand needle through the stitch slipped off and put it over the knit one.

In knitting, two rows make a rib.
