Stockinette stitching is considered as the most basic in knitted fabrics. Like in garters, it can also be made round or flat. Reverse stockinette have similarities with stockinette. But they only differ to the way it is purled, in which in a reverse stockinette, it is purled on its right side, and knitted on wrong sides or which is faced inwards. In a round way, purls are done in each stitch.

Seed stitching is the most basic form of basket weave pattern. This is done by alternating the knitting and purling in each row or course and in each column or wale. Eyelet and lace knitting includes faggot variation, wherein each stitch is a yarn over or is a decrease.

Cable knit textures are being produced by permuting the stitches. Like if there are four stitches, one might cross the first two either at the front or behind of the next two. Slipped patterns include herringbone and linen.

Herringbone sewing are being compared to the spine of the herring fish. Common uses of these are for embroideries and for crochets. While linens are being compared to woven linens. Herringbones are also commonly used in making the heels of the hand knitted socks. Slipped, purl, and knit stitches are usually being done in these.

Set of stitches are being made in order to form a bobble or a bump. Bumps are usually patterned geometrically or figuratively. Bobbles are formed by doing a single stitch in it, increasing it in rows, and decreasing it to produce a single stitch. Tricot type of knitting is one form of a warp knitting. In this, a zigzag design is vertically done in a column or wale. A zigzag design can also be customized in a horizontal position.
