    Knitting is a process of fabric manufacturing that involves converting yarn into loops that interlock. The word knitting is derived from the Dutch word "knutten" meaning to knot. Key developments in knitting technology include the stocking frame machine invented in 1589 and various circular knitting machines invented between the late 18th and late 19th centuries. There are different types of knits including weft knits made with horizontal loops and warp knits made with zigzagging yarns. Basic knitting stitches include knit stitches, tuck stitches, and miss/float stitches.

    The word is derived

    from knot, thought to


    originate from
    the Dutch verb knutten,
    which is similar to the Old
    English cnyttan, “to knot”.
    - is a process of fabric manufacturing by
    converting a yarn into loop form and these
    loops interlock together which form a
    structure.

    -is a method by which yarn is


    manipulated to create textile or fabric,
    often used in many types of garments.
     UK 1500 – hand knitting
     End of 16th century (England) – demand 10 million
    pairs of stocking
     1589 – Stocking frame or mechanical knitting
    machine by William Lee
     1759 – Derby Rib Machine by Jedediah Strutt
     1802 to 1806- Pierre Jeandeau invented the first
    latch needle (spring) in France
     1816 - Marc Brunel arranged the needles in a
    circular form rather than a flat bed
     1849 Matthew Leo Townsend patented the latch
    needle
     1878 - Henry Josiah Griswold added a second
    set of needles set in a disc horizontally to the
    top of circular knitting machine (rib & cuff)
     Weft knit is made with a single yarn looped
    horizontally to form a row, or course, with each
    row building on the previous one. A hand-knitted
    fabric is a weft knit.
     Basic pattern of warp knitting. Parallel yarns
    zigzag lengthwise along the fabric, each loop
    securing a loop of an adjacent strand from the
    previous row.
     A course of knit is a predominantly horizontal row
    of needle loops (in an upright fabric) produced by
    adjacent needles during the same knitting cycle
     A wale of knit is a predominantly vertical column
    of interlaced needle loops generally produced by
    the same needle at successive (not necessarily
    all) knitting cycles
    Knit stitch
    Tuck Stitch
    Miss Stitch
     Schematic of knit stitch, the most basic
    weft-knit fabric
    A tuck stich is composed of a held loop, one
    or more tuck loops and knitted loops. It is
    produced when a needle holding its loop also
    receives the new loop.
     The tuck loop assumes an inverted U-shaped
    configuration.
     Tuck loops reduce fabric length and length-
    wise elasticity because the higher yarn
    tension on the tuck loop causes then to rob
    yarn from adjacent knitted loops, making
    them smaller and providing greater stability
    and shape retention
     A miss stitch or float stich is composed of a held
    loop, one of more float loops and knitted
    loops. It is produced when a needle holding its
    old loop fails to receive the new yarn that
    passes, as a float loop to the back of the needle,
    and to the reverse side of the resultant stich.
     A single float has the appearance of a U-shape
    on the reverse of the stitch.
     Miss stitch (float stitch) fabrics are narrower
    than equivalent all-knit fabric because the wales
    are drawn closer together by the floats, and
    reducing width-wise elasticity and improving
    fabric stability.
     A floating thread is useful for hiding unwanted
    coloured yarn when producing Jacquard designs
