I want to frog and redo the cast on edge border with less stitches to combat curling. Is there a trick to frogging only the first section of knitting, effectively leaving a provisional cast on edge to then re-knit the border from?

What's the type of knitting called where images, designs, or patterns are created on the fabric just by using knit and purl stitches?
I keep thinking "brocade", but googling that just brings up diamond patterns! I know I've seen this style of knitting used to create much more interesting fabric than just diamonds. Am I using the wrong search terms or something? I just can't for the life of me remember what I'd seen that called.
Here's an example of the kind of thing I'm talking about
Thanks so much for your help!
Can anyone tell me why some of my stitches are so wide? Am I knitting too loosely? My tension feels normal but then some of these pop up every few rows
My friend was thinking of buying this hat in a store and I told her I'd knit it for her instead. I thought it was rib knit, but now I feel it's brioche (still new to knitting). Can somebody please confirm what is the type of stitches here? And if there is a pattern, could you please share the link?
I am knitting the Friday sweater mini by Petiteknit, I'm knitting the grey/white striped one. I have the right amount of stitches, yet, I must have overlooked something, as it has created a "mistake". Can it still be fixed?

First Scarf! Just started knitting about a week ago and this is my first finished project. It’s not perfect, I definitely dropped some stitches in places but I’m pretty proud of it nonetheless
Been knitting for over 20 years and have never tried anything more complex than basic knit stitches. Inspired by you lot, I have created my own pattern, using a new stitch and I think I only had to restart the first (of over 500) squares about 18 times.

Soo this is my first ever knitting project. the blue arrow shows the direction I knit. I realized just now that i knit a couple of stitches on the wrong side in the first row after cast on. it's the shoulder part and its very noticeable. pls help. I really want this to turn out good.
Hi all- first time knitting a sock and the pattern says to work half the stitches for the heel flap. Does this mean the first half of the round or the second half? Do I put the half not being knitted on a stitch holder while I work the other half? Thanks in advance!
Hi! I’m creating a crafting bullet journal type thing for my friend for Christmas and I’m pretty stumped at what pages to put in. So far I have hook/knitting needle sizes, project tracking and supply lists..can anyone suggest anything else? She mainly does crochet, knitting and cross stitch! Tysm!
This is my first dog sweater. The pattern calls for knitting an arm opening with scrap yarn, then later on picking up stitches above and below the scrap, remove the scrap, and BOOM you have an arm hole or live stitches. Is there any reason why this would/wouldn’t work for a human sweater? So easy!
I started learning knitting 4 days ago. I see a lot of holes in my work especially in and around the moss stitches. I tried tightening the stitches. I don't know what to do. This is 100% mercerised cotton yarn with 4mm needles. Yarn specs said 3.5-4mm Needle/hook size is good.

Trying to play with swatches for a possible ideas. New to double knitting. Never done anything that isn't exactly the same on the other side. I wanted to do a pattern on one side and solid color on the other. Why is black (solid) look like I've lost stitches where on the other side is the writing.

My first patchwork sweater I’m knitting but I have an issue. I have already knitted 5 squares and every single one of them has come out a different size, despite using the same amount of stitches & rows for every square, which may be a bit of a problem when I stitch them together!How can I fix this?
Learning lever knitting on circulars - can't move stitches on right needle?
Have recently been learning lever knitting (on circular needles since that is 99% of what I use). I've got the actually knitting motion down, and have no trouble scooting stitches along the left needle, but the right needle is giving me trouble. Stitches tend to bunch over my thumb and I can't scootch them down unless I let go of the needle and manually move them with my right hand.
My tension while lever knitting is currently pretty tight. Is this just be a tension issue? Or is there a trick to moving the stitches? (I've tried a few YouTube videos, but everything I've found skims over how to handle the finished stitches on the right.)
ETA: trying to add pictures in case they help, but Imgur isn't cooperating
Only started knitting for the first time a week ago - knitting English style and really liking the tension of my stitches but it's setting off existing carpal tunnel syndrome. In lots of pain today in both wrists. REALLY struggling with Continental style but know I have to switch. Any help?
What am I knitting!? Help - I have been trying a lot of new stitches, lost my notebook and can't identify this one.

Pattern said to transfer stitches to one needle and continue knitting the back panel, but how do I do that when my yarn is in the middle of my stitches? I'm confused
I was previously told I’m twisting my stitches when knitting with DPNs. Am I still doing it?
Hi Ive been crocheting for 2-3 years and now brand new to knitting and I’m wanting to make a beanie with no pattern and was wondering how do these stitches look? I don’t know what size my needles are I think maybe a 8mm? With a 4 weight yarn acrylic
[WP] You are Destiny, (literally) knitting fate. You have a problem, you accidentally increased the number of stitches.
Pulled out one of the first things I ever started knitting to see that all the stitches are twisted 😅

Circular machine knitting and different stitches
So I have a question. I got my addi about a month or two ago and I’ve been making just the basic stuff. Hats scarves headbands. I haven’t even made a decent flat panel yet because I for the life of me can’t figure it out. But my question is, can you make different stitches on the addi? I saw one on YouTube where you knit two and then wrap two. And so on. But is that the only thing you can do. I saw some fair isle technique which looked cool I am gonna try that next. But is that all? Would love any recommendations. Thanks(:
Game time: I challenge you to write out a repeat of this pattern! I'm restoring a sweater but the traveling-looking stitches are throwing me off - TIA, knitting friends!
Knitting a scarf and trying out stitches I have never done
Hello! I’m new to knitting and could use some guidance on how to untwist these stitches? Should I just start over? I’ve cast on 97 stitches Italian style 1x1 for ribbing.

Took me a day in a half to finally figure knitting and purl stitch! I’m doing it the Norwegian way! So mush more similar!!! Lol and my stitches are not slipping off the needles anymore due to how I cast on now! Yay!!! Oh and I changed the year because wool makes me itchy 😣
Why are my stitches varying so much between each other? I've never had this issue before. I've been knitting for months and have a consistent gauge. This is 1x1 rib and it looks weird... (sorry for bad photo)
Kind of a crazy project lol. Since I love the versatility of crochet but I prefer the look of knitting, I’m trying to make a knit- look crochet jumper. Here are some tests of crochet stitches. Bottom is BLO slip stitch, middle is BLO sl stitch then sc, top is alternating sl st and sc. any tips?? :)
Would someone help me figure out what I did wrong here?? I count 8 stitches on the right needle and 10 on the left. I am working in the round..how is that possible? Obviously, I am new to knitting.
How can I fix these reinforced heel dropped stitches? Knitting my first ever sock and dropped all the stitches off my needle. I picked them up but some stitches came undone. Pattern is slip purl on this row (slip purl wise and knit on the front). Thanks!
Help please! I am very new to knitting and I dropped a loop off my left needle few stitches back and then again just now. I can't figure where or how to pick them up.
What's your favourite knitting stitches?
I want to discover new knitting pattern, my current favourite is the Jersey stitch
Can anyone help me decipher this part of my knitting pattern? I'm confused about the pattern of how to add the stitches for shaping since this is my first time knitting a sweater, and I've never had to shape sleeves before. It's a flat knit, if that helps. Thank you!

First time knitting, have a question about pick up stitches
Im trying to follow along to this tutorial https://youtu.be/nGIbqqwH_5o
at around 3:10 she says that she does a bind off but to make sure to leave one loop and then removes the needle from the loop and starts the pick up stitch in a C shape. Is there any reason to leave that one loop or should i just bind that off as well and keep going ?
I need help understanding German shortrows in a pattern! So I have to make the first German shortrow, then basically I would have the "double stitches" on both sides and after that, do I continue knitting in the round or do I kinda "stack" the GSR on top of each other? comments>>
Circular needle's wire broke. I can get another needle but how do I transfer the project without losing stitches? I'm worried the wire will come out as I'm knitting onto the new needles
The blanket is finally done! Bonus close-up for pattern in stitches. Whittled our yarn collection from a whole 55L (approx) tub full to fitting in a knitting bag with plenty of room to spare for the many sets of needles too!
