How do you knit phentex slippers?
Knitting slippers is simple. Cast on 29 stitches. Knit as many rows as you need to fit your foot. Then start knit knit purl purl for as many rows as you need. Cut a tail and pull a plastic needle through the stitches. Take it off the needle along with the stitches and pull tight. Then sew in and out of the slipper. do the same thing with the tail at the end of the slipper.
What stitch makes knitting elastic?
Knitting can be made more elastic by using stretchy stitches such as ribbing. Ribbing is typically 1x1 or 2x2, but many other types of ribbing are possible, and many non-ribbing stitches are also stretchy. 1x1 ribbing is formed by knitting one stitch and purling the next. Repeat these two stitches to the end of the row. On following rows, "knit the knits and purl the purls." This simply means you should look at the stitch you are about to work and determine whether it looks like a knit or like a purl. Remember that a purl is simply the back side of a knit stitch. Knit stitches look like the letter "V," while purl stitches look like dashes ("-"). 2x2 ribbing is very similar to 1x1 ribbing except that you knit two stitches and purl the next two stitches. Again repeat to the end of the row, and again "knit the knits and purl the purls."
What does rib 6 mean in a knitting pattern.?
In knitting, a rib is a type of stitch pattern created by alternating knit and purl stitches (For instance, Knit 1, purl 1 or knit 2, purl 2). This technique creates vertical, textural stripes called ribs. There are many variations on rib stitches.

When crocheting a blanket the edges are wavy?
If you edges are not straight, it is likely because you left out the chain stitch at the end of each row. This decreases your stitches by 1 each row and changes the size. Another possibility is that you accidentally skipped stitches, or put two stitches in one (increasing.) To fix your problem, know how many stitches are supposed to be in a row of your blanket and count them when your blanket starts to get wavy.
How many stitches do you need to have in order to knit a scarf for a male using the Daiso Acrylic Medium Thick Colorful Yarn Deodorant and size 6 bamboo knitting needle?
Most people knit a gauge swatch.
Knitting 30 stitches how many inches is it?
I think your question is: if you knitted 30 stitches, how long, in inches, would that be? There is no way to tell. Different types of yarn (wool, cotton, silk, rayon), stitch up differently. The size of the yarn--fingering, worsted, bulky--would change the length that 30 knit stitches would make. Also the size of the needle would change how long 30 stitches would be. If you really want to know, knit a swatch of 30 stitches, and measure it yourself. That is the only way to know for sure.
Where can one learn how to knit sweaters for men?

How many stitches to cast on for a 6 square?
I knit 6" squares often. I use double knitting yarn and 4mm needles. I cast on 40 stitches and knit 72 rows per square. The size will vary a little according to the yarn (I use up left over yarn) but the sizes come out close enough to 6" square.
How do you bind off knitting stitches?
It depends on how many stitches you have to cast off. Check your pattern as to how many stitches to cast off. Once you know, knit two stitches, and then take the stitch farthest from the end of your needle, and pull it over the second stitch. You will now have one stitch. Knit another stitch, and cast off the stitch farthest from the end of your needle. Repeat until you have cast off a sufficient amount of stitches. See Related Links See the Related Links for "Casting Off" at the bottom for the answer.
How many stitches should be cast on to knit hand warmers?
That depends on the thickness of your yarn, the size of the needles, and how tightly you knit. Make a gauge swatch about four inches square. Measure the width of the square and divide your number of stitches by the number of inches (in decimal form). That tells you how many stitches are in each inch. Now measure around your hand. Subtract 15% from that measurement, then multiply it by your stitches per inch. That will tell you how many stitches to cast on for hand warmers. You may be wondering why we subtacted 15%. This is to give the hand warmers "negative ease." We want them to be a little clingy so they don't slide around or fall off, so we make them a wee bit smaller than our hands. Don't worry, knitting is stretchy, so it won'd bind or be uncomfortable.
what- Gerry is knitting a scarf for a friend. She knits a gauge swatch which measures 4 in. by 4 in. If the square is 30 stitches wide and 39 rows long, how many stitches wide will she need to knit in order to make a scarf that is 18 inches?

How many stitches do you need to cast on to make a shawl?
That depends on many factors, the shape of shawl you are trying to make, your gauge and the type of yarn you are using. For a rectangular shawl, or stole, decide whether you want to knit the length or width. Personally, I knit the width of the stole and continue until it's long enough, but the direction of the stitches changes the look of the shawl. Determine how wide you want your stole to be, say 24 inches. Cast on 10 stitches and knit a few rows. Measure how wide your swatch is, say 6 inches, and do a little math. (Finished width / width of swatch) so (24 inches / 6 inches = 4 times the width) So, you multiply your stitches used, 10, by the number of times larger you need your piece, 4, and you cast on 40 stitches. It works the same if you want to work the length of the stole. If you are not needing a specific size, you can cast on about what looks right. For a triangular shawl, it can be easier to start, but you have to keep track of your rows. 1. Cast on three stitches. 2. Knit all. Place a stitch marker on the now empty needle. You can leave it on the needle without ever passing it back. You can also use two different colored needles or put a little waste yarn into the last stitch in this row. You are simply trying to keep track of which row you re on. 3. Knit the first stitch and cast on a stitch, the method doesn't really matter. Knit the next stitch and cast on a stitch, knit the last stitch. 4. Knit all 5 stitches. 5. Knit the first stitch, increase, knit the next three, increase, knit the last. 6. Knit all 7 stitches. 7. Knit the first, increase, knit to the second to last stitch, increase, knit the last. 8. Knit back. Repeat rows 7 and 8. By increasing one stitch in, rather than in the last stitch, you have a smoother edge to the shawl. Just keep alternating an increase row with a knit even row until the shawl is as wide as you'd like. If you find your shawl is getting too wide for the length, increase less, if it's not wide enough, increase more often. An alternative to 2 increases on every other row would be to increase one on every row. I'd still increase near the edge, just decide if you want to increase at the beginning of the row, or the end. You will need 45 casted on stitches.
