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.
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.
To knit in front and back of the first stitch, you first knit the stitch as usual. Then, without dropping the stitch off the left needle, you bring the right needle to the back of the stitch and knit into the back loop of the same stitch. This creates an increase in the stitch.

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 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
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.
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.
Kfb in knitting stands for "knit front and back." It is an increase stitch where you knit into the front of the stitch as usual, but then without taking the stitch off the left needle, you knit into the back loop of the same stitch. This creates a new stitch and increases the total stitch count by one.
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.
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.
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.
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
