What is knitting?
Knitting creates fabric from connected loops of yarn and turns written instructions into wearable structure.
What it is
Knitting is the craft of building fabric one stitch at a time. Each stitch is a loop held by other loops, so the fabric grows through order, tension and repetition.
How Ruke patterns use it
Ruke patterns treat knitting as a calm construction process. A sweater, scarf or cardigan is not only a collection of stitches; it is a sequence of choices that shape fabric, fit and finish.
Pattern notation examples
- A neckline, yoke, body, sleeve and hem are all built from the same basic idea: loops connected in a controlled order.
- When a pattern says to knit, increase, decrease or cast off, it is guiding both fabric structure and final shape.
When to use it

What to check
Check that you understand stitches, rows, rounds, yarn, needles and the difference between a fabric technique and a finished project.
Common mistakes
Thinking of knitting only as hand movement and missing the structure those movements create.
