Knitting Techniques and Stitches

This beginner-level pattern employs fundamental knitting techniques suitable for those new to the craft. The stitches used include:

• Garter stitch (gt st) — created by knitting every row, producing a textured, reversible fabric with horizontal ridges
• Stocking stitch (st st) — the classic combination of knit rows alternating with purl rows, creating a smooth, uniform fabric with a distinct right and wrong side
• Increases (inc, m1) — the make one stitch technique, created by picking up the loop between the last and next stitch and knitting into the back of it, used for shaping garment pieces
• Decreases (ssk) — slip, slip, knit decreases for gradual shaping; instructions for executing this technique are included within the pattern
