A schematic is a diagram that represents the shape, dimensions, and construction notes of a knitted piece, serving as a blueprint for the design.

Intarsia is a technique for knitting with multiple colors where blocks of color are worked with separate balls of yarn, resulting in a tapestry-like fabric with minimal stranding on the wrong side.

Ease is the amount of roominess in the final garment, varying based on the desired fit; negative ease for fitted knits, positive for a looser fit.

Selvedges are the edges of the knitted fabric, often designed to be neat and stable to assist in sewing pieces together.

Bind off methods securely close the stitches to prevent unraveling and can affect the edge's elasticity and aesthetics of the finished piece.

Yarn overs create holes in the knitted fabric for decorative designs or to increase the number of stitches, often used in lace patterns.

Cable stitch involves crossing groups of stitches over each other to create a twisted or braided texture, often stands out in a design.

Cast on methods begin the knitted fabric with a foundation row of stitches, varying methods can affect edge elasticity and appearance.

Steeking involves knitting in the round, then cutting the fabric to create openings, usually reinforced first to prevent unraveling.

Blocking is the process of wetting or steaming knitted pieces to set its final dimensions and even out the stitches.

Stitch patterns are the repeated sequences of knitting stitches that create texture and design in a knitted fabric, varying from simple to intricate.

A raglan sleeve is a type of sleeve that extends in one piece fully to the collar, providing a diagonal seam line from underarm to collarbone.

Short rows are partial rows in knitting that create shapes and curves in the fabric, enabling more complex designs and better fit.

Decreases remove stitches from the work to shape the fabric, techniques include 'knit two together' (k2tog) or 'slip slip knit' (ssk).

Increases add stitches to the work, broadening the fabric, executed through methods such as 'make one' (m1) or 'knit front and back' (kfb).

Stockinette stitch is a basic knitting pattern with one row of knit stitches, followed by one row of purl stitches, creating a smooth, classic fabric.

Knitting in the round creates seamless tubes of fabric, often with circular or double-pointed needles; ideal for things like hats, sleeves, and body pieces of sweaters.

Gauge is the number of stitches and rows per inch or centimeter and is crucial for knitwear design to ensure the finished piece matches the intended size.

Darts in knitting are used to shape the fabric, typically by increasing or decreasing stitches to fit body contours, similar to darts in sewing.
