Crocheting and Knitting

In weaving, the warp is yarn that is attached to either beam on the loom (length-wise). It's what the weft passes back and forth through.

I believe you mean 1 sc not so which is one single crochet. This is usually within a pattern when you are doing double crochet or some other fancier style and it ask for just a single crochet stitch like at the end of a row.

That is called the weight.

knit into the front and the back of the stich.

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)

"Double knit," refers to the weight or thickness of the yarn. Double knit is between sport weight and worsted weight. It is named for the knitting technique that most often calls for this weight: double knitting. Double knitting is the knitting of a two sided fabric that is reversable with a two color pattern on one side and the negative of that pattern on the reverse side. It is called double knitting because both sides are knit at the same time on one set of needles.

"4 ply" refers to the number of individual strands twisted together to form a yarn. A yarn with two strands is called "2 ply," and so on. The number of plies determines, to a degree, the fluffiness or smoothness of a yarn. Yarn with more plies is generally smoother and less fluffy. The number of plies does not determine the weight or thickness of the yarn.

It is possible to have a double knit yarn that is also 4-ply, or to have a thicker yarn that is has more or fewer plies. The same is true with a thinner yarn.

Stitches per inch on size 10 needles varies greatly, because some people knit tighter or looser than others, causing the finished material to be bigger or smaller for different people, depending on how tightly or loosely they knit.
Because everyone's tightness in knitting is different, something was created for knitters long ago called gauge. Gauge is another word for tightness of knitting, and most patterns will have the required gauge to make that project, that way you won't end up with a hat three times larger than it aught to be. Most of those patterns will have a suggested needle size to acquire the correct gauge, but this is only a suggestion to give an idea of ABOUT what size to use.

What is beautiful to one person might not be to another. Find a pattern that YOU find beautiful. Practice the craft until you can make nice, even stitches. If there are specialized stitches or procedures needed, you might like to learn those as well.

In my opinion, you can make a very beautiful afghan with just basic stitches. There are many beautiful granny square afghans and all you need to know to make those are how to make and assemble granny squares and have a good sense of color.

slip marker just means move your marker from your left needle to your right needle. a marker just sits on the needle and shows the place, its not part of the knitting and will be removed when you have finished.

Slub yarns, as the name implies, possess bumps or slubs along the length of the yarn usually in uneven, unpredictable patterns.

Crochet is needlework, and its significance is in the hand-made fabrication of clothing and accessories and household items.

That depends on many factors, the shape of shawl you are trying to make, your gauge and the type of yarn you are using.

For a rectangular shawl, or stole, decide whether you want to knit the length or width. Personally, I knit the width of the stole and continue until it's long enough, but the direction of the stitches changes the look of the shawl.

Determine how wide you want your stole to be, say 24 inches. Cast on 10 stitches and knit a few rows. Measure how wide your swatch is, say 6 inches, and do a little math.

(Finished width / width of swatch) so (24 inches / 6 inches = 4 times the width)

So, you multiply your stitches used, 10, by the number of times larger you need your piece, 4, and you cast on 40 stitches.

It works the same if you want to work the length of the stole. If you are not needing a specific size, you can cast on about what looks right.

For a triangular shawl, it can be easier to start, but you have to keep track of your rows.

1. Cast on three stitches.

2. Knit all. Place a stitch marker on the now empty needle. You can leave it on the needle without ever passing it back. You can also use two different colored needles or put a little waste yarn into the last stitch in this row. You are simply trying to keep track of which row you re on.

3. Knit the first stitch and cast on a stitch, the method doesn't really matter. Knit the next stitch and cast on a stitch, knit the last stitch.

4. Knit all 5 stitches.

5. Knit the first stitch, increase, knit the next three, increase, knit the last.

6. Knit all 7 stitches.

7. Knit the first, increase, knit to the second to last stitch, increase, knit the last.

8. Knit back.

Repeat rows 7 and 8.

By increasing one stitch in, rather than in the last stitch, you have a smoother edge to the shawl. Just keep alternating an increase row with a knit even row until the shawl is as wide as you'd like. If you find your shawl is getting too wide for the length, increase less, if it's not wide enough, increase more often.

An alternative to 2 increases on every other row would be to increase one on every row. I'd still increase near the edge, just decide if you want to increase at the beginning of the row, or the end.

You will need 45 casted on stitches.

Note: round needles are almost always called circular knitting needles.

In some cases, circular needles will work just as well as double pointed needles. But more often than not, only double pointed needles will work.

Why? With double pointed needles, one can knit with as few stitches as they want. This makes them ideal for knitting the tops of hats, which are decreased to a very few number of stitches, and other items where few stitches are knitted. However, if one is knitting with a large number of stitches, then circular needles will work fine, maybe even better, but circular needles have a "minimum stitch limit." Thus, they only work if the pattern works with lots of stitches.

So in order to figure out whether circular knitting needles will work for your pattern, read through the instructions, and determine the point at which there will be the least number of stitches on the double pointed needles. Try to estimate the lowest number of stitches that will work comfortably on the circular needles, and decide if the stitches in the pattern will fit on the circular needles.

Mexican crochet is a thing that most Mexicans do when it comes to boredom. Esperanza Rising.

slip two stitches to the right hand needle, insert the left needle into the back loops of these stitches and then knit. I find this too fidley to do so i use S1 K1 PSSO as it gives the same results: Slip one stitch to the right hand needle, knit the next stitch off of the left hand needle onto the right, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch. It gives exactly the same results but isn't as difficult.

To crochet using your fingers only, use the same procedure as when using a hook, but just use your fingers instead. You will end up using your forefinger as a "hook" holding the parts of the stitch on your finger, and "hooking" your finger to "draw through" the material to make the stitch.

I would hazard that the "best" stitches to make using a finger crochet technique would be the shorter stitches--slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet. I think that with taller stitches, you might begin to not have room on your forefinger to "hold" the loops necessary to make the stitches.

Look at the attached video link and see finger crocheting single crochet stitches is being done.

Crochet needles, going on the numbered U.S. system range from one to ten in size.

You can use another size that gives you the gauge you want.

Gassed yarn is yarn or thread, which has been quickly passed through a flame or series of flames. The purpose of which, is to burn off the fibers projecting out of the yarn/thread, this will make the yarn/thread round and smooth.

This is most often done with the better qualities of yarn/thread, such as poplin; venetian; violes; gaberdine; and Egyptian cotton; for example.

The common suggestion is to substitute two strands of sport weight for 1 strand of worsted weight.

However, everyone's tension is different. If your pattern has a gauge, I would suggest you crochet a small swatch and see if the gauge matches, using your tension. If it is too large, there are other variations you can try. 1 strand of fingering or sock yarn with 1 strand of sport or DK yarn, for example. Of course, that would necessitate having or buying more yarn.

Both techniques differ in the tool used. Knitting uses needles which hold "rows" of live stitches, whereas traditional crochet uses a single hook for the one live stitch.

The resulting fabric is different in weight and overall appearance. Crochet fabric is thicker and stronger than knitted fabric, even using the same yarn and same size hook/needles. The difference comes from the fact that even the simplest crochet stitch is made of 2 loops, wrapped around one or two strands of yarn, and knitted stitches are a single loop in a single previous loop (single strand of yarn).

you start with casting a minium of 30 stiches on your needle. then you you uknit until your piece is about 15 inches or however long you want it. then you bind off the knitted project and sew a piece of fabric inside of the knitted purse 4 inches longer than the lenght of the purse then sew the sides and make a handle a minium of 10 inches and sew that to the purse and you have it
