Knit and purl stitches, as the foundation of knitting, offer endless possibilities for texture and pattern creation. By combining these basic stitches in various ways, designers can create ribbing, seed stitch, moss stitch, and other textured surfaces. These textures add visual interest and affect the fabric’s drape and stretch, allowing designers to create form-fitting or relaxed silhouettes.
Knit and purl combinations can create subtle patterns that add depth to solid-coloured garments or form the backdrop for more complex stitch work.
Knit and purl are like the yin and yang of knitting. It's amazing how these two simple stitches can create such a variety of textures. We often suggest using knit-purl combinations to add subtle sophistication to your designs.
