What is a Knitting Stitch?

A knitting stitch is a loop of yarn that is manipulated using knitting needles to create a fabric or textile. There are various types of knitting stitches, each producing different textures and patterns, such as the knit stitch, purl stitch, garter stitch, and stockinette stitch. The process involves pulling a loop of yarn through an existing loop on the needle, which creates a new loop and extends the fabric. The combination and sequence of these stitches form the basis of knitting.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{SN} = \left( 10 \times 5 \right) / 1 = 50 \]

The number of stitches needed is 50.
