What is a row in knitting?
Usually it means to knit every stitch in a row, or if on the purl side to purl every stitch. Consider it synonymous with stockinette stitch.
What is a garder stitch mean in knitting?
I believe the word is misspelled --- more than likely the word should be garter - meaning every row is knit - which gives you a lateral rib.
Is garter stitch and knit stich the same?
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 is the most common knit stitch used for beginners?
The most common knit stitch used for beginners is... wait for it... the knit stitch! The other most common knit stitch is called the purl stitch. These are the two basic stitches in knitting and when they are put together in different ways, they create different patterns! When you knit every row, that's called the garter stitch and when you knit one row and purl the next row, that's called the stockinette stitch.
How do you stop the edges of your knitting from rolling in?
You can either add a few rows of garter stitch (which is knit every row) or you can do a few rows of ribbing (which is knit 1, purl 1). One of my favorite boarders to put on sweaters or scarves is the seed stitch (knit 1, purl 1 to the end of the row and turn your work, then you purl the knit stitches and knit the purls and you just keep repeating that every time you turn your work)
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 can I create a beautiful and simple project using the crochet garter stitch?

Experiment with different yarn colors and textures to add variety to your project.

What is stock knit mean is it plain knit?
I assume you mean stocking stictch? that is knit one row, purl the next, so that you have the wavy pattern on one Garter stitch is plain knitting every row.
When knit pattern says work garter stitch slipping the first st. of every row how is it done?
Every row will go as follows: 1. Insert the right needle into the first stitch as if you were going to knit it. Pull the left needle out of the stitch WITHOUT knitting it. That's slipping a stitch knit-wise. 2. Knit all remaining stitches to the end. 3. Turn and repeat. Slipping the first stitch gives the fabric an attractive selvage (edge). Garter stitch also gives an attractive selvage. I'm guessing that they're asking for the slipped stitch edging because it is easier to pick up if you want to add more stitches along the side later on. If you are doing a scarf, there is no need to worry about it. Plain garter stitch will look tidy and attractive without the slipped stitch at the beginning of the row.
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.
