B. Development 60 mins
Pagpapaunlad Sewing has been part of your elementary years, while Knitting has been part
of Handicraft Production as Exploratory Course in Grade 7 and 8. The activity
below will serve as a review about your attained learnings in the topic

Arrange in chronological order the step in making Slip knot. Write A, B,C,D and
E. (Write your answer on a separate answer sheet)

Basic Knitting Stitches

A. SLIP KNOT
The slip knot for knitting is the same as the slip knot for crocheting.

1. Leave about 4” tail and flip the

tail over the yarn off of the yarn ball.

Module g10 p.118

2. Flip the tail under the loop that

was created so that it is going down
the center of the loop from behind

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.119

3. Pull the tail slightly through the

loop.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.119

4. Place one if your needles into the

new top loop created (the smaller
of the two loops).

5. Pull the loop tightly around the

needle and this is your slip knot,
ready to cast on the first row.

B. CASTING ON

A way to turn loose yarn into neat little stitches that sit perfectly on the needle.
It is the first step in knitting.
1. Holding the needle with your slip
knot on it in your left hand, push the
needle in your right hand through
the slip knot and behind the other
needle.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.119

2.Wrap the yarn coming from the

yarn ball around the right hand
needle and between the needles.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.120

3. Push the right hand needle

against the left hand needle and
pull the yarn you just wrapped
around through the slip knot loop.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.120

4. Now you should have the slip knot

loop still in the left hand, and
another loop around the right hand
needle (so one loop on each
needle).

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.120
5. Push both loops to the top of the
needle.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.120

6. Transfer the loop that’s on the

right hand needle to the left hand
needle.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.120

7. Now you should have the slip knot

loop still in the left hand, and
another loop around the right hand
needle (so one loop on each
needle).

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.121

8. For the next loop, wrap the yarn

around the right hand needle again

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.121

9. Pull the yarn through the first loop

on the left hand needle again so
that you have one loop on the right
hand needle.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.121
 10. Transfer the right hand loop to
the left needle so you now have
three loops on the left hand needle.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.121
11. Continue doing this until you
have casted on as many stitches
across as you would like.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.121

C. KNIT STITCH
The simple stitch that makes up the backbone of knitting.
1. Place your right needle behind
the left needle.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.122

2. Wrap the yarn counter clockwise

around the right needle, and
behind the left needle.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.122

3.Pull the yarn through the loop so it

is on the right needle (like step
number 2).

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.122
 4. Push the first stitch on the left
needle off of the needle
completely.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.122

5. Now you’ll have less stitches on

the left needle, and one on the
right.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.123

6. Continue this same method down

the row.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.123
7. Once all of the stitches are off of
the left needle and on the right
needle, that row is done.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.123

8. For the next row, move what was

your right needle to your left hand
now, and your left needle to your
right hand (flip them). The needle
with the stitches on it will always start
off in your left hand

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.123
 9. Continue stitching the next row as
you did the first.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.123

10. When you have the next row

done, you will begin to see the
pattern forming

D. PURL STITCH

An inverted knitting stitch, creating by pulling a loop of yarn from the front of
the fabric to the back through a previous stitch.
1. The main difference between a
purl stitch and a knit stitch is that the
right needle is put in front of the left
needle instead of behind. So to
start, hook the right needle into the
first loop on the left needle, but in
front of the left needle this time.
SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.124
2. Wrap the yarn around the right
needle counterclockwise (like in
step number 1), but this time in front
of the back needle and around the
front one. Just remember that you
will always be wrapping the yarn
counterclockwise around the
needle in your right hand.
SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.124

3. Pull the yarn through the first loop

in the left needle, creating a new
loop on the right needle.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.124
 4. Continue this same technique
down the row.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.124

5. When all of the stitches are off of

the left needle, that row is done.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.125

6.Continue stitching, rotating

between the knit and purl stitch as
you’d like so you can see the
patterns it will form.

For better understanding on the

steps: here is the link where you can
watch the video on purl stitch-

E. CASTING OFF

It is also called as “Bind Off” that creates an end to knitting.

1. To start casting off, stitch two knit
stitches (or you can also stitch two
purl stitches if that works better for
your pattern – either one).

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.125

2. Now you should have two loops

on the right needle.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.125
3. Take your left needle and push it
through the second loop on your
right needle (the first loop you
made).

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.125

4. Pull the loop up and over the first

loop and off of the right needle.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.126

4. Pull the loop up and over the first

loop and off of the right needle.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.126

5. Now you will have one loop on

the right needle

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.126

6. Knit another stitch so you have

two on the right needle again.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.126
7. Pull the loop up and over the first
loop and off of the right needle
again (like in step number 6).

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.126

8. Continue repeating this down the

row.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.126
9. Now you should have all of the
stitches off of both needles, except
for one left on the right needle.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.127

10. Pull the loop off the needle and

cut the yarn, leaving several inches
to work with.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.127

11. Push the excess yarn through the

last loop

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.127

12. Pull it tight to tie off the end of

the row.

SOURCE: Handicraft
Module g10 p.127
 13. That is a small knitted block! Now
you should know how to do all the
basics of knitting to get going on
some fun projects

Knitting is a method by which yarn is manipulated to create a textile

or fabric; it is used in many types of garments. Knitting may be done by hand
or by machine. Knitting creates stitches: loops of yarn in a row, either flat or in
the round. There are usually many active stitches on the knitting needle at
one time.
