Knitting pattern instructions to knit a Pig Doorstop.
This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageKnitting tension, also known as gauge, refers to the number of stitches and rows per inch or centimeter in a knitted fabric. It is the measurement of how tightly or loosely a knitter is working their stitches. Knitting tension can vary depending on the yarn, needle size, and the individual knitter’s technique.
When knitting a pattern, it is important to achieve the correct tension or gauge in order to ensure that the finished item will be the correct size and shape. If the tension is too loose, the item may be too big, and if the tension is too tight, the item may be too small.
In order to determine the knitting tension, it is recommended to knit a swatch or sample piece of fabric using the same yarn, needle size, and stitch pattern as the pattern you intend to make. The swatch can then be measured to see how many stitches and rows there are per inch or centimeter, and adjustments can be made as needed to achieve the correct tension.
An increase or inc1 is a basic knitting stitch pattern that involves adding an additional stitch to the fabric. This is also known as a knit front and back (kfb) or bar increase. In all Knitting by Post patterns an increase is referred to as an inc or inc1.
To increase, you knit into the front of a stitch as if you were going to knit it as normal, but instead of slipping the stitch off the left-hand needle, you leave it on the left-hand needle.
Then, you bring the right-hand needle around to the back of the stitch and knit into the back loop of the same stitch, which creates a new stitch. Finally, you slip both the original stitch off the left-hand needle.
The result of this pattern is an increase in the number of stitches on your needle, with the new stitch appearing as a small bump on the textured side of the fabric. This technique is often used to shape knitting projects, such as increasing for toys and decorations or other curved areas.
It is important to note that there are many other ways to increase stitches in knitting, including yarn overs, make one (M1), and lifted increases. Each technique has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of increase method will depend on the specific project and desired effect.
Overall, increasing stitches is an important technique in knitting that can help you achieve the desired shape, size, and design for your toy.

“Knit 1, purl 1” is a basic knitting stitch pattern that is commonly used in a variety of knitting projects. It is also known as the “rib stitch” or “1×1 ribbing”.
To create this pattern, you alternate knitting one stitch and purling one stitch across each row. On the next row, you do the opposite and knit the reverse of the purl and purl the reverse of the knit stitches as they appear along the row.
When you knit a stitch, you insert the right-hand needle into the front of the stitch from left to right, wrap the yarn around the right-hand needle, and pull the right-hand needle back through the stitch, slipping the old stitch off the left-hand needle.
When you purl a stitch, you insert the right-hand needle into the front of the stitch from right to left, wrap the yarn around the right-hand needle, and pull the right-hand needle through the stitch, slipping the old stitch off the left-hand needle.
The result of this pattern is a stretchy, reversible fabric that is often used for cuffs, collars, and edges of garments. It is also a good stitch pattern for beginner knitters to practice, as it helps develop even tension and consistency in their knitting.
