Stitches

The two types of stitches have a different visual effect; the knit stitches look like "V"'s stacked vertically, whereas the purl stitches look like a wavy horizontal line across the fabric.

This sewing machine is easy-to-use and versatile, offering 27 built-in stitches, including decorative and stretch stitches, with automatic features like a one-step buttonholer and thread cutter.

But Stitches, Stitches played a huge part.

As it was, she took four stitches above her right eye, which was black and swollen, three stitches above her lip and had a front tooth pushed out of place.

Cable patterns are made by permuting the order of stitches; although one or two stitches may be held by hand or knit out of order, cables of three or more generally require a cable needle.

Chain stitches use less yarn than double crochet stitches, which results in a visual difference in appearance between the two kinds of stitch.

Cluster stitches, which are in fact multiple stitches worked together, will use the most length.

Conversely, rows of purl stitches tend to form an embossed ridge relative to a row of knit stitches.

Freeform crochet is a technique that can create interesting shapes in three dimensions because new stitches can be made independently of previous stitches almost anywhere in the crocheted piece.

If a stitch in a finished crocheted item breaks, the stitches above and below remain intact, and because of the complex looping of each stitch, the stitches on either side are unlikely to come loose unless heavily stressed.

It functions by holding together the stitches creating the cable as the other needles create the rest of the stitches for the knitted piece.

Right- and left-plaited stitches seeAlso Both knit and purl stitches may be twisted: usually once if at all, but sometimes twice and (very rarely) thrice.

The merged stitches need not be from the same row; for example, a tuck can be formed by knitting stitches together from two different rows, producing a raised horizontal welt on the fabric.

The new loop may also be passed between two stitches in the present row, thus clustering the intervening stitches; this approach is often used to produce a smocking effect in the fabric.

The number of active stitches remains the same as when cast on unless stitches are added (an increase ) or removed (a decrease ).

Types of stitches There are five main types of basic stitches.
