1. Knitted Loop Structure:

The properties of a knitted structure are largely determined by the interdependence of each stitch to its neighbors on either side and above and below it. Magic Loop Knitting are arranged in rows and column termed Knitting courses and Wales respectively.

2. Course:

A course is predominantly horizontal row of needle loops produced y adjacent needles during the same knitting cycle.

3. Wales:

A wale is a predominantly vertical column of intermeshed needle loops produced by the same needle knitting at successive knitting cycle. A wale commences as soon as an empty needle starts to knit.

4. Stitch Density:

The term stitch density is frequently used in knitting instead of linear measurements of Courses and Wales; it is the total no. of needle loops in a given area such as a square inch or three square centimeters.

5. Fabric Draw-off:

Fabric are always drawn from the needles on the side remote from their hooks, when two sets of needles are used, the fabric is drawn away in the gap between the two sets.
