With garter stich you either knit every row or purl every row. With knitting stich you're not using the purl stitch so I would say they are the same thing. I would say they are NOTthe same.

What are the properties of purl knit fabric?
If it's purl, it's not knit. If you do all purl stitches you get exactly the same fabric as all knit stitches, i.e. garter stitch. This is a rougher looking finish than stocking stitch, but has the advantage of lying flat.

What is seed stitch in knitting?
Seed stitch is also known as moss stitch. It is when you knit one purl one throughout but in the next row the purl stitches are above the knit stitches in the previous one (like a chequerboard) unlike ribbing where the knit and purl stitches stay in the same column.
If you knit one row then pearl the next row using that pattern will your final outcome look the same on both sides?
If you alternate rows (one row knit, one row purl, and repeat), this is stockinette stitch (or stocking stitch). It does NOT look the same on both sides. One side with be smooth (all the stitches look like little V's) and the other side is all small horizontal bumps. If you want it to look the same on both sides, you should probably knit every row (garter stitch) or look up a pattern that is designed to look the same on both sides (like ribbing). http://handmadebyjody.blogspot.com http://handmadebyjody.etsy.com
Why does my stockinette stitch look like a basic stitch?
Are you knitting? If by basic stitch, you mean garter stitch, it is because you are knitting on both sides of the work. It may also mean your working yarn is in the wrong place when you attempt to pearl a stitch. A stockinette stitch is achieved by knitting on one side of the work and pearling on the other. When knitting, the working yarn should be at the back of the work, away from you. When pearling, the working yarn should be pulled between the needle and the work,( closest to you) and then work the stitch the same as a knit stitch. This should fix your problem, but if not, please ask more questions.
When knitting with circular needles how do you twist a stich when knitting in the same direction?
Since most knitting is done by using a pattern, you need to follow the directions you are given. Most patterns will tell you to knit around, or back and forth, depending on the end result desired. If you want a sleeve that is already round (with no seams), you knit around and around. If you want a flat finished piece to sew into a seam, or use flat (such as a placemat)go back and forth.
Does rns in knitting mean front and wrong side of the row?
No, in knitting MS does not mean front and wrong side of the row. MS means moss stitch. In this type of stitch, you knit two two rows of the same sequence (purl or knit) and then alternate them.
How do you do a seed stitch in knitting?
Moss Stitch (or Seed Stitch) can be worked over either an odd or even number of stithes and you simply repeat the same two stitches to achieve the look. If working over an odd number of stitches: Knit 1 stitch, Purl 1 stitch and repeat this across the row for every row This will create a "broken rib". If working over even stitches however you must alternate the rows to achieve the same look. Row 1: Knit 1 Stitch, Purl 1 Stitch across the row Row 2: Purl 1 Stitch, Knit 1 Stitch across the row You will repeat these two rows in order to get the same look as if you were working on an off number of stitches.
When you single knit do you have to knit and purl stitch or can you do one or the other?
No, you can do strieght knitting or pearling for every row, but if you're working from a patter it's best to follow it or you may not get the same results.
How do you knit twice into yarn over?
Usually the pattern you are working will tell you the preferred method. Typically it is done through knitting into the front and then into the back of a stitch. A regular knit stitch is done like this: Put right-hand needle through the right-most stitch on the left needle, wrap yarn over right-hand needle, pull stitch through, and pull loop off the left-hand needle A knit stitch through the back is done like this: Put right-hand needle through the right-most stitch on the left needle on the back side of the needle (that's from the right side, but catch the back side of the loop) , wrap yarn over right-hand needle, pull stitch through, and pull loop off the left-hand needle To do them in the same stitch: perform a regular knit stitch, but do not pull the loop off the left hand needle (if feels very awkward, but don't panic), then put the needle through the back of the loop and complete the knit. The end result is one more stitch than you had before. http://handmadebyjody.blogspot.com http://handmadebyjody.etsy.com
Should one knit into the front or back of a stitch when the previous row contained both knit and purl stitches?
There are at least two ways to interpret this question. Taken literally, you're talking about whether to insert the needle into the stitch knit-wise (from front to back) vs purl-wise (from back to front). Whether to knit into the front or back of a stitch is not related to what stitches occurred in the row below, but to what stitches you want to create in the current row. If you wish to make a knit stitch, insert the needle from front to back into the stitch to be worked. If you wish to make a purl stitch, insert the needle from the back to the front. You are allowed to put purl stitches on top of knit stitches and vice versa. It all depends on what pattern or effect you are looking for. For example, many garments begin with a couple of inches of ribbing, such as 1 x 1 ribbing which is done by alternately knitting a stitch, then purling the next stitch. On following rows you simple knit those stitches that were previously knit and purl those stitches that were previously purled. But at the end of the ribbed cuff, hem, or neck, you will need to switch from ribbing to stockinette or some other pattern stitch. Switching to stockinette would mean knitting all the stitches all the way across, even if some of them had been purled in a previous row. ----- The other way to interpret the question is whether you knit into the leg of the stitch that sits in front of or behind the needle, rather than whether you insert the needle from the front of the work or the back of the work. When you wrap the yarn around the needle, you might wrap it counter-clockwise if you are a western knitter (Western Europe and the U.S.), or clock-wise if you are an eastern knitter (Asia). Some knitters wrap CCW on the knits and CW on the purls (called "combination" knitting) because this is the most ergonomic technique. How you wrap the stitch determines how the stitch is placed on the needle. For most American/European knitters the stitch is placed so that the "leading leg" or the branch of the stitch closer to the tip of the needle, is in front of the needle, and the trailing leg is behind the needle. If you knit into the front (leading) leg, you will get a flat stitch. But if you knit into the back (trailing) leg, you will get a twisted stitch. It can be tempting to simply say "always knit into the front of the stitch," but as you can see that would only be true for half of the world's knitters. It is more accurate to say "knit into the leading leg for a flat stitch or the trailing leg for a twisted stitch." This is always true, regardless of whether the stitch being knit is a purl stitch or a knit stitch and regardless of the knitter's style of knitting. Each row is treated as a whole new beginning. The stitch would be made the same way each time no matter where you make it, according to what the pattern says. Some advanced knitters do prefer to start and end every row with the same stitch, regardless of what the pattern says because it makes a kind of seam which makes stitching a garment together.
What does purl mean in crochet?
As far as I'm aware, there is no "purl" in crochet, but there is in knitting.Knitting has basically two stitches, a "knit" and a "purl."In a knit stitch, the yarn is drawn through the previous row, by passing through from below. In a purl stitch, the yarn is drawn through the previous row, from above. This creates an effect, where on one side, a knit stitch appears to be knit, and on the other side, the same stitch appears to be purled. This explains why directions for knitting often speak of the "right (or front) side" or the "wrong (or back) side" of a project.Crochet has stitches which are a slip stitch, a chain stitch, a single crochet, a half crochet, a double crochet, a triple crochet, a double treble crochet, and even a triple treble crochet. I have not seen any patterns which call for a larger than triple treble crochet stitch.
