The most common texture for a knitted garment is that generated by the flat stockinette stitch as seen,
though very small, in machine-made stockings and T-shirts, which is knitted in the round as nothing but
knit stitches and knitted flat as alternating rows of knit and purl.
Other simple textures can be made with nothing but knit and purl stitches, including garter stitch, ribbing, and moss and seed stitches.
Adding a "slip stitch" (where a loop is passed from one needle to the other) allows for a wide range of textures,
including heel and linen stitches, and a number of more complicated patterns.

Some more advanced knitting techniques create a surprising variety of complex textures.
Combining certain increases (a process by which the number of loops in a horizontal row is increased)
which create small eyelet holes in the resulting fabric with assorted decreases
(by passing one loop of yarn through two existing stitches, for example) is key to lace knitting,
a very open fabric resembling lace.
