With Lion Brand Homespun yarn, it is best to use a simple stitch, either garter or stockinette, due to the fact that, as a textured yarn, fancy stitches would be unappreciated and awkward-looking.

It is a very beautiful yarn that is gorgeous in both garter and stockinette, especially if both stitches are used in the same piece. (Example: if doing a hat work a 2-inch brim in garter, and do the rest in stockinette.)

What does wyf mean in knitting?

"WYF" in knitting stands for "Wrap Yarn Front." It's a technique where you bring the yarn to the front of the work before knitting the next stitch. So, next time someone asks you "WYF?" in knitting, just remember to bring that yarn to the front and keep on stitching!


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.

It involves bringing the yarn over the needle from back to front before the next stitch is knitted. This creates a small hole in the fabric, which can add decorative elements or serve a functional purpose in lace knitting. Yarn overs are often used in various stitch patterns and designs.

How do you do a m1 k1 m1 in a row of knitting?

To perform a m1 k1 m1 in a row of knitting, start by making a "make one" (m1) stitch, which involves lifting the yarn between the stitches and knitting into it to create an extra stitch. Next, knit one stitch (k1) as usual. Finally, make another m1 in the same way as the first, lifting the yarn between the newly knitted stitch and the next stitch to create another extra stitch. This sequence adds two new stitches to your row.
