Knitting needles in a variety of sizes (US 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15 from the bottom). Knitting is worked in rounds (the equivalent of rows in flat knitting) in a spiral.
It takes an hour to knit a sock. Variegated yarns can produce interesting visual effects, such as diagonal stripes; conversely, a variegated yarn may frustrate an otherwise good knitting pattern by producing distasteful color combinations. Various closures for the garments, such as frogs and buttons can be added; usually buttonholes are knitted into the garment, rather than cut.
The diameter affects the size of stitches, which affects the gauge of the knitting and the elasticity of the fabric. For general garment creation, one of the best known kitting yarns is Sirdar'. There are also different types of knitting needles like Addi knitting needles, Clover knitting needles, Misc knitting needles, Crystal Palace, Rosewood and HiyaHiya
The diameter affects the size of stitches, which affects the gauge of the knitting and the elasticity of the fabric. Smooth, highly spun yarns are best for showing off stitch patterns; at the other extreme, very fuzzy yarns or eyelash yarns have poor stitch definition, and any complicated stitch pattern would be invisible.
Patterns for knitting provide a strong outline and foundation for starting any new knitting project. It doesn't all happen at once.
