Ribs
In weft knitting, ribs consist of wales of plain and purl stitches. The various types include:
Derby rib: These fabrics consist of groups of plain and purl stitch wales of variable widths, particularly 6 3 rib
Fancy rib: These ribs may be made of bands of knit or purl stitches of varying widths, with patterns of stripes, purl stitches, floats, transfer stitches, with or without racking, or combination of many different possibilities.
Full Cardigan or fisherman’s rib: This rib is made in two stages repeated throughout the length; one course of alternate plain and tuck stitch, one course of alternate tuck and plain stitches (i.e. the opposite way to the previous stitches)
Full needle rib: All needles of both needle beds, racked a half pitch, knit on every course
Half cardigan or beaded rib: This rib is made in two stages: one course of 1 1 rib, and one course of alternative plain and tuck stitches. The two courses are repeated throughout the length
Cable Stitch
In weft knitting, crossing of several stitches repeated at intervals in the same wales.
A cable stitch is basically a pattern or series of knitting stitches producing a design like a twisted rope
Moss Stitch
In weft knitting, moss stitch is a basic purl fabric structure. It consists of one plain and one purl stitch (1 1 rib) alternating every course
Loop Stitch
A loop stitch is a basic knitting stitch usually made with the yarn at the back of the work by inserting the right needle into the front part of a loop on the left needle from the left side, catching the yarn with the point of the right needle, and bringing it through the first loop to form a new loop
Ladder Stitch
Ladder stitch is an embroidery stitch with parallel crossbars in a ladder like design
Learn the Ladder Stitch
· Have the right sides of the pieces facing up.
· Work in one stitch from the edge of the fabric.
· Between the first and second stitches on one piece, go under the running yarn. Do this with a tapestry needle and matching yarn.
· Repeat the previous step on the other piece.
· Continue working from side to side.
· Pull the yarn to close the seam every four to six stitches
Eyelet Stitch
An eyelet stitch is a good introduction to lace, they are easy to work and not as complicated as full blow lace.
