knit-purl technique

The knit-purl technique involves two fundamental stitches used in knitting to create various textures and patterns. The "knit" stitch produces a smooth, V-shaped surface, while the "purl" stitch creates a bumpy, ridge-like texture. By alternating these stitches, knitters can craft a wide range of fabrics, from flat panels to intricate designs. Essentially, knitting involves repeatedly inserting the needle into loops of yarn in different ways to form these stitches. Mastering both allows for diverse textures and patterns, making knitting a flexible and creative craft suited for many project types.
