Basic knitted fabrics are so fundamental that some types have been adopted as part of the language of knitting, similar to techniques such as
yarn over or
decrease. Examples include
stockinette stitch,
reverse stockinette stitch,
garter stitch,
seed stitch,
faggoting, and
tricot. In some cases, these fabrics appear differently on the
right side (as seen when making the stitch) than on the
wrong side (as seen from the other side, when the work is turned).
