Summary: There are two basic stitches in knitting. One is the KNIT STITCH, the other is the PURL STITCH. The GARTER STITCH is quite simply to KNIT EVERY ROW. It's the easiest of all the knitting stitches and one that you can use for many projects. It's an especially good stitch for knitting something where you want both sides to look the same such as in a scarf or blanket. Once you have mastered the KNIT STITCH the next stitch to learn will be the PURL STITCH. For now, practice the KNIT STITCH.

Continue knitting all the stitches on each row for as long as you want.
When you have reached the desired length you are ready to bind off.
