Ch1 - Fiber
The building block of knitting, fibers, dictate the texture, appearance,
and functionality of the final piece. From animal to plant, synthetic to
natural, understanding fibers' properties is critical to mastering the art
and science of knitting.
Ch2 - Yarn
Yarn is the essential medium in knitting, transforming raw fibers into
creative possibilities. Its weight, twist, and ply not only influence a
knit's structure but also its drape and feel, making yarn selection pivotal
to successful knitting outcomes.
Ch3 - Principle of Knitting
Knitting is a method of constructing fabric by intermeshing a series of
loops of one or more yarns. Different techniques and stitch patterns, as
well as yarn tension and needle size, determine the final fabric structure
and properties.
Ch4 - Knit Structure and Patterns
The world of knitting structures and patterns offers endless possibilities
for creative expression. By experimenting with different stitches and
combinations, unique textures and designs emerge, each contributing to the
distinct appearance and function of the knitted piece.
Ch5 - Knitwear Style
Explore the diverse world of knitwear, where unique styles, intricate
details, and distinctive finishes abound. Beyond fashion, discover the rich
history and heritage behind various designs, making each piece not just
stylish, but also storied and significant.
Ch6 - Dyeing, Printing & Embellishments
Mastering dyeing, printing, and embellishments is essential for the visual
appeal of knitwear. This in-depth knowledge elevates designs and ensures
precise results, making these techniques crucial for achieving the desired
impact in knitted creations.
Ch7 - Making-up of Knitwear
The final stages of creating knitwear, such as cutting, linking,
laundering, and adding finishing touches, greatly influence the end
product's look and feel. Proper navigation through these important stages
