Synthetics/acrylics: has a tendency to pill and fade, acrylics have made a big comeback.
Generally they feel nice to wear, wash better than wool products. They are more hypoallergenic, which is great for babies and people who are allergic to wool

Wool: Wool will last forever and is very durable through many years of wear and tear. Although some people have severe allergies to wool. In the wash it needs extra care.

Cotton: Cotton is easy to wash, wonderful to wear, and looks great. Cotton can stretch out of shape and can look a little odd when this happens.

Novelty: Yarns like boucle, which has the zig-zag appearance, fun fur, eyelash, chenille, and heaps of others. The knitter looking for something funky and different will find it in this category. I would say if you are beginning maybe progress on to these yarns when you have mastered other yarns as they are difficult to work with and may not turn out they way you want.

Long-haired: These yarns are quite expensive and more for the luxurious knitter who like such yarns as angora and mohair. These yarns can be more expensive for the beginning knitter because if you make a mistake it will cost you dearly in extra yarn.

Chunky Weight is a heavier yarn for winter type garments like some warm sweaters or jumpers, scarves and other garments requiring chunky Yarn.

Stockinette stitch, reverse stockinette stitch, garter stitch, seed stitch, faggoting, and tricot.
In some cases, these fabrics appear differently on the right side (as seen when making the stitch) than on the wrong side (as seen from the other side, when the work is turned).

Stockinette stitch (in the UK, Stocking Stitch) is the most basic knitted fabric; every stitch (as seen from the right side) is a knit stitch. In the round, stockinette stitch is produced by knitting every stitch; by contrast, in the flat, stockinette stitch is produced by knitting and purling alternate rows.

Stockinette-stitch fabric is very smooth and each column ("wale") resembles a stacked set of "V"'s. It has a strong tendency to curl horizontally and vertically because of the asymmetry of its faces.

Reverse stockinette stitch is produced in the same way as stockinette, except that the purl stitches are done on the right side and the knit stitches on the wrong side. In the round, reverse stockinette stitch is produced by purling every stitch

Seed stitch is the most basic form of a basketweave pattern; knit and purl stitches alternate in every column ("wale") and every row ("course"). In other words, every knit stitch is flanked on all four sides (left and right, top and bottom) by purl stitches, and vice versa. Seed stitch is also known as Moss Stitch.

Seed-stitch fabrics lie flat; the symmetry of their two faces prevents them from curling to one side or the other. Hence, it makes an excellent choice for edging, e.g., the central edges of a cardigan. However, seed stitch is "nubbly", not nearly as smooth as stockinette.

Garter stitch is the most basic form of welting (as seen from the right side). In the round, garter stitch is produced by knitting and purling alternate rows. By contrast, in the flat, garter stitch is produced by knitting every stitch (or purling every stitch, though this is much less common).

In garter-stitch fabrics, the "purl" rows stand out from the "knit" rows, which provides the basis for shadow knitting. Garter-stitch fabric has significant lengthwise elasticity and little tendency to curl, due to the symmetry of its faces.

Lace patterns and other stitches in symbols

Lace knitting is a style of knitting characterized by stable "holes" in the fabric arranged with consideration of aesthetic value. Lace is sometimes considered the pinnacle of knitting, because of its complexity and because woven fabrics cannot have holes (easily). True knitted lace has pattern stitches on both the right and wrong sides; knitting with pattern stitches on only one side of the fabric, so that holes are separated by at least two threads, is technically not lace, but often called "lacy knitting".

You need this file to knit the stitches in symbols correctly

The symbols, this is your pattern, are knitted at the right side of your pattern, at the wrong side, knit the stitches as they are on the needle.
Purl when it is a purl stitch at the wrong side and Knit when it is a Knit stitch at the right side
In this case only the uneven rows are given; 1. 3. 5. and so on.
Purl the yarn overs at the wrong side.
When there are also stitches made at the wrong side, all the rows are given; 1. 2. 4. 5 , a.s.o.
