About the Knit Stitch Family
The stitches in this family have a specialty. These stitches are not exactly made by passing the needle through the fabric multiple times but by ‘twist wrapping the thread around the needle multiple times as you would in knitting. This technique helps in making dimensional embroidery stitches that are used in embroideries like the Brazilian Embroidery.

When it comes to working dimensional projects, these stitches are probably the first choice. They are totally fun to work with and the results are satisfying too. The thickness of the thread can make a difference in the way the stitches look. Using a needle with a slender shaft and slim eye will definitely help in working with the stitches pleasurable. Use an embroidery hoop to keep the fabric taught as these stitches would require you to use both your hands. The Drizzle Stitch stands completely out with just the base on the fabric. Stitches like the Cast-On Stitch and the Double Cast-On Stitch are anchored at both ends, but the curvature can be controlled to create a variety of effects to satisfy the demand of the project.
