The earliest published English knitting pattern appeared in Natura Exenterata: or Nature Unbowelled, which was printed in London in 1655 [9] Jane Gaugain was an early influential author of knitting pattern books in the early 1800s. Yarn companies give away knitting patterns to promote use of their yarn. [10] [11] [12] [13]
Bias knitting in a scarf. Bias knitting is where the rows of a fabric run diagonally, instead of horizontally.. In knitting, biased fabric is created by pairing increases and decreases, often at the edges of a piece, which shifts the row's stitches to the side as compared to the stitches knitted directly below them.
The first known example of Aran knitting appeared in the 1930s. [3] The stitches that create the Aran knitting patterns are complex and the knitted goods are time-consuming to create. For example, a typical Aran sweater will have over 100,000 stitches, and may take several months to finish. The three dimensional effect of the twisted stitches ...
Illusion knitting or shadow knitting is a form of textile art, in which the knitting is viewed as simply narrow stripes from one angle, and as an image when viewed from another angle.

Weft-knit fabrics may also be knit with multiple yarns, usually to produce interesting color patterns. The two most common approaches are intarsia and stranded colorwork . In intarsia, the yarns are used in well-segregated regions, e.g., a red apple on a field of green; in that case, the yarns are kept on separate spools and only one is knitted ...
Warp knitting is defined as a loop-forming process in which the yarn is fed into the knitting zone, parallel to the fabric selvage. It forms vertical loops in one course and then moves diagonally to knit the next course. Thus the yarns zigzag from side to side along the length of the fabric. Each stitch in a course is made by many different yarns.
