Stitches

What are some good websites that teach you different stitches in knitting?

I'm a beginner in knitting, and I would like to learn how to do different styles of stitch besides the stockinette stitch and the knit stitch while making a scarf. A website that tells you how to do it would be greatly appreciated, especially if that site offers training videos! Best answer gets 10 points! =)

  1. Well, technically, there are only two stitches in knitting...that is: knit and purl. Everything else is just variations of that ie: knit one row, purl one row is stockingnet stitch; knit every row is garter stitch; knit one stitch, purl one stitch is 1x1 rib, etc. Stockingnet, garter and ribbing are not, technically speaking, stitches. They are stitch patterns that are made up by the two stitches, knit and purl, in different combinations. There's also techniques in knitting, such as increasing, decreasing, and various lacy knitting techniques such as YO's (yarn overs), Sl (slip a stitch) etc. For these things, I would go to : http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/learn-to-knit It has lots of videos on most all of the commonly used techniques, and I would recommend it for any beginner. It does have a few stitch patterns. Most of the time, though, if you have a pattern, the stitch pattern is written in. There's also Ravelry, which is a knitting community with lots of forums full of helpful knitters to answer your questions and a fabulous pattern browser which makes it simple to search the internet for free patterns. You have to sign up, and wait a bit for approval, but it's worth it. You can find that site here: https://www.ravelry.com/account/login Good luck, and Happy Knitting!

  3. To be honest, your best bet may be to go to your public library and borrow the Barbara Walker Stitch Treasuries. There are four of them. They are a wonderful compendium of stitch patterns. Ms. Walker also has a Learn To Knit Afghan book, which is also a very valuable resource for a novice knitter. That book is back in print and can be purchased from SchoolhousePress.com. The book is worth the price.
  4. you tube--search knit stitches or whatever you are looking for. Chances are you will find it. www.knitting.about.com has a wonderful forum where you can go and ask any question you want and get expert help. There is also a pattern finder's forum too. Check it out.
