Depending on the yarn and knitting pattern, knitted garments can stretch as much as 500%. For this reason, knitting is believed to have been developed for garments that must be elastic or stretch in response to the wearer's motions, such as socks and hosiery. During knitting, the active stitches are secured mechanically, either from individual hooks or from a knitting needle or frame in hand-knitting. Fabrics in which the number of knit and purl stitches are not the same, such as stockinette/stocking stitch, have a tendency to curl; by contrast, those in which knit and purl stitches are arranged symmetrically tend to lie flat and drape well. Edges are introduced within a knitted fabric for button holes, pockets, or decoration, by binding/casting off and re-casting on again or by knitting the fabrics on either side of an edge separately. Lace knitting consists of making patterns and pictures using holes in the knit fabric, rather than with the stitches themselves. Separately knitted tubes can be applied to a knitted fabric to form complex Celtic knots and other patterns that would be difficult to knit. The most common texture for a knitted garment is that generated by the flat stockinette stitch-as seen, though very small, in machine-made stockings and T-shirts-which is worked in the round as nothing but knit stitches, and worked flat as alternating rows of knit and purl.
