Knitting is both fun and enjoyable. And, of course useful too! It can be a stress buster while giving immense joy on seeing what you have created. Knowing the art of knitting stitches to make a cardigan or a pair of booties is not too difficult. This statement has been further explained in this article.

Each and every garment that’s knitted is done using two basic stitches which are the knit stitch and the purl stitch. For starters or a novice, you need to know how to cast on (i.e. start) and how to cast off (i.e. end). These are the basics. All the patterns, textures and garments you create are a variation of these. Ideally, a person beginning to learn should start with plastic knitting needles and a medium weight yarn, at least till a good level of accuracy or evenness is achieved.
