Best Answer

1. Garter Stitch: either all knit stitch or all purl stitch. This fabric has small ridges on back and front, making it reversible, and one of the most basic fabrics

2. Stockinette Stitch: knit one row, purl one row. This fabric is smooth with V's on one side and ridges on the other. It is the most popular stitch, often used for socks, sweaters, hats, and other clothing items

3. Rib Stitch: ROW 1:knit one, purl one ROW 2: Knit into knitted stitches, purl into purled stitches. This fabric has vertical "stripes" of V's and ridges. It reversible, thick, stretchy, and often used on cuffs and collars

* you can also form a double rib by using a knit 2, purl 2 pattern

4. Seed Stitch: ROW 1: knit one, purl one ROW 2: knitted into purled stitches, purl into knitted stitches. This is a thin, decorative fabric and my personal favorite

By combining these four basic fabrics, you can make hundred of other patterns to suit your liking
