What is knitting?
Knitting is the craft of making fabric from loops of yarn held together as stitches.
What it is
Knitting turns yarn into fabric by creating connected loops. It can be worked flat in rows or in the round, and it is used for garments, accessories, blankets and decorative textiles.
How Ruke patterns use it
Ruke patterns use knitting as garment construction, not only as stitch practice. The parsed Ruke corpus contains sweaters, cardigans and accessories with repeated construction sections such as yoke, body, hem, sleeves, cuffs, front bands and finishing. This page should help a new knitter understand that every pattern instruction is part of a larger fabric and fit system.
Examples
Recurring pattern sections include Gauge, Needles, Pattern directions, Finishing, Body, Yoke, Sleeve, Cuff, Hem and Front band.
When to use it
Use this page as the first orientation point for absolute beginners before they learn stitches, tools or pattern language.
What to check
Check that the reader understands rows, rounds, stitches, needles, yarn and the difference between fabric structure and finished project type.
