The simplest knitting stitch, garter stitch is created simply by knitting each row, back and forth. In horizontal rows, the purl side of the stitch stands out and the knit side recedes, resulting in a fabric that compresses vertically if unstretched. Garter stitch is easy to do and makes a thick fabric which does not curl, making it ideal for beginning projects.
