As an aside, knitting through the back loop is a useful technique for untwisting stitches on the left-hand needle that "hang backwards". Such stitches are often produced when a knitted fabric is partially pulled out and some stitches are accidentally put back onto the needle with a backward twist, or when picking up stitches with a crochet hook (e.g. the gusset of socks) and slipping them on ...

Knit two together through the back loops (K2tog tbl) for a left-leaning decrease.
A common method, in which all the loops are made with one yarn, while the other end (the dangling end from the original slip knot) is used to secure the base of each loop. The loops will appear like knit stitches. [1] This method is also called the "knit half-hitch cast on".
In loop knitting, long, dangling loops are introduced into the middle of a knitted fabric or along an edge (fringe border). The loops may appear singly or in large clusters. An overall array of such loops may be used to give a "shaggy" look to the fabric and/or make it warmer, e.g., tufting the inside of mittens. After they're made, the loops ...

Slip next stitch, move yarn to the back of work, slip second stitch, pass first slipped stitch over the second, slip next stitch, pass second stitch over the third, and repeat until desired width of buttonhole is reached. Turn work and, by using the cable cast-on or backward loop cast on, cast on the number of stitches bound off plus one. Turn ...
Yarn companies offer free knitting patterns for these caps. The US-based charity Sheep Dreamzzz trains women in Nicaragua to knit baby blankets. They receive all of the profits. Nicaragua is the poorest country in Central America. The blankets are all hand-knitted and the women work inside a home.
A vast variety of cable patterns can be invented by changing the number of cables, the separations of their center lines, the amplitudes of their waves (i.e., how far they wander from their center line), the shape of the waves (e.g., sinusoidal versus triangular), and the relative position of the crests and troughs of each wave (e.g., one wave ...
