Aran how to knit tutorial is created by twisting and moving stitches to make raised textures in the fabric. Stitch patterns such as cables (they look a little like rope or chain loops) are made by holding a small number of stitches on a spare needle - double pointed cable needles will do the trick, then knitting the following stitches before coming back to knit the stitches held on the cable needle. For instance, to knit an 8 stitch cable you slip 4 stitches onto the cable needle and hold at the back or front of your work, knit the next 4 stitches, then go back to the cable needle and knit those 4 stitches. This creates a twist in the 8 stitches. You can also create knitted diamonds etc by progressively moving a number of stitches to the left or right to make a diagonal raised line on the knitted fabric.

Lace how to knit tutorial uses a combination of plain and purl stitches along with a series of holes tomake a lacy pattern. To make the hole you simply move the yarn in front of the needle just before you knit the next stitch. This creates an extra loose stitch. To make sure you don't end up with too many stitches you then knit 2 stitches together ) to bring the stitch count back to the original. The combination of holes and stitches knit together are what makes the flowing lacy patterns that are so popular for baby clothes, shawls and vintage style homewares.
