caption_attribution_description: English: An example of faggoting. Faggoting is a variation of lace knitting, in which every row is a lace row, and there are no simple all-knit or all-purl rows. This example is the stitch pattern of the garment design "Blithe" by designer Marie Wallin, from Rowan Magazine number 47 (February, 2010). Note: Faggoting is a certain type of knitting stitch, not a motif. A knitting motif is not a stitch; it is a (usually repeated) picture or design perceived by the eye after the knitting is completed. There are knitting motifs in the blue knitted jacquard background, but not in the unfinished knitting in the foreground.
context_page_description: Basic knitted fabrics include stockinette stitch, reverse stockinette stitch, garter stitch, seed stitch, faggoting, and tricot. In some cases, these fabrics appear differently on the right side than on the wrong side.
context_section_description: Faggoting is a variation of lace knitting, in which every stitch is a yarn over or a decrease.  There are several types of faggoting, but all are an extremely open lace similar to netting.
  Like most lace fabrics, faggoting has little structural strength and deforms easily, so it has little tendency to curl despite being asymmetrical. Faggoting is stretchy and open, and most faggoting stitches look the same on both sides, making them ideal for garments like lacy scarves or stockings.
