It actually depends on one’s personal preference. Once you start developing your skills in this activity, you will eventually discover the style of handling the yarn and needles that works for you.
However, there are two different ways that knitters can wrap the yarn around the needles. These styles are classified as the Continental and English methods.

There are two types of stitches:
- Knit Stitch- also known as the garter stitch. It is the process of pulling up a yarn through an existing loop on a needle and pulling it through on the back.
- Purl Stitch- it is the method of inserting the needle from the top of a loop and pulling a new loop up and through the first stitch. A purl stitch simply looks like the back of a knit stitch.
