2. Intarsia (knitting) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intarsia_(knitting)

   Intarsia patterns are almost always given as charts (which, because of the mechanics of knitting, are read beginning at the lower right and continuing upward). The charts generally look like highly pixellated cartoon drawings, in this sense resembling dot-matrix computer graphics or needlepoint patterns (though usually without the colour nuance ...

3. Fair Isle (technique) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Isle_(technique)

   Basic two-colour Fair Isle requires no additional techniques beyond the basic knit stitch: the purl stitch is not used if the garment is knit in the round. At each knit stitch, there are two available "active" colours of yarn; one is drawn through to make the knit stitch, and the other is simply held behind the piece, carried as a loose strand ...

   Simply the crochet chain cast-on using waste yarn; this is also an "invisible cast-on" that can be pulled out later to allow knitting in the opposite direction. Work a crochet chain in waste yarn, loosely fastening the tail end. With working yarn, pick up the chain-bumps, as for the crochet chain cast-on, to create the working stitches.

7. Slip-stitch knitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip-stitch_knitting

   If a black stitch is needed in a white-yarn row and the stitch of the previous row was white (i.e., slipped), the pattern is impossible for mosaic knitting. Therefore, any black or white vertical stripe must begin and end with the corresponding yarn, which implies that the number of knitted rows in any vertical stripe must be 2 times an odd ...

8. Gather (knitting) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gather_(knitting)

   In knitting, a gather draws stitches closer together within a row of knitting. Common methods include: In binding, a yarn loop is passed over 2 or more stitches in the same row (usually adjacent to the binding loop); also known as a pullover stitch. In clustering, the yarn is wound laterally around a set of stitches in the same row, possibly ...
