BIND OFF:To finish off an edge and keep stitches from
unraveling by lifting the first stitch over the second, the second over
the third, etc.
(U.K.: cast off)
BIND OFF IN RIBBING:Keep in the rib pattern as you bind off (knit the knit stitches; purl the purl stitches). (U.K.: cast off in ribbing) CAST ON:Form a foundation row by making any number of loops on the knitting needle. DECREASE:Reduce the number of stitches in a row (i.e., knit two together) INCREASE:Add to the number of stitches in a row (i.e., knit in the front and back of stitch). KNITWISE:Insert the needle into the stitch as if you were going to knit it. MAKE ONE:With
tip of the needle, life strand between last stitch knit and next stitch
on left-hand needle, place strand on left-hand needle and knit into
back of it to increase one stitch. PLACE MARKERS:Loop a piece of contrasting yarn or purchased stitch market onto the needle. PICK UP AND KNIT (PURL):Knit (or purl) into the loops along an edge. PURLWISE:Insert the needle into the stitch as if you were going to purl it. SELVAGE STITCH:Edge stitch that helps make seaming easier. SKIP:Skip specified number of stitches of the previous row and work into next stitch. (U.K.: miss)
SLIP, DLIP, KNIT:Slip
next two stitches knitwise, one at a time, to right-hand needle. Insert
tip of left-hand needle into fronts of these stitches from left to
right and knit them together to decrease one stitch. SLIP STITCH:In knitting, pass a stitch from the left-hand to the right-hand needle as if to purl without working it. In crochet, insert hook through loop or edge, yarn over and pull through loop on hook. (U.K.: abbreviation – ss or sc) WORK EVEN:Continue in specified pattern without increasing or decreasing. (U.K.: work straight) YARN OVER:In knitting, make a new stitch by placing the yarn over the right-hand needle. (U.K.: yfwd, yon, yrn) In crochet, wind yarn around hook. (U.K.: yoh or yrh) |
