For knitting patterns, knitting needles made of various materials are used: metal, plastic, wood. It is advisable that the knitting needle have a limiter at one end to prevent the loops from slipping. To obtain a cylindrical seamless fabric, either ring knitting needles (connected by a flexible connection) or a set of four (five) knitting needles are used, where the loops of the product are distributed between three (four) knitting needles, and another one is used as a working one. Harnesses, braids, and various weaves are made using an auxiliary knitting needle or loop holder. Flat knitted fabric is made on two knitting needles or on ring knitting needles. It is knitted in forward and reverse directions and has a front and back sides. The cylindrical fabric is knitted in the round on the front side only. On the site you will find aran and openwork patterns. Openwork patterns with knitting needles are those patterns that are made using yarn overs, adding or decreasing loops. Jacquard or multicolor patterns, ornaments are a knitted pattern (pattern) using yarn of two or more colors. Jacquards are usually divided into Norwegian, Icelandic, etc. - this is due to the knitting of ethnic patterns; there are also so-called lazy jacquards.
