Knitting
According to the Textile Terms & Definitions Knitting is the process of forming a fabric by intermeshing of loops of yarn.
Stitches
There are three principal stitches which are utilised in knit fabrics: Knit Tuck Miss These three stitches, or combinations of them appearing in the same fabric, form the basis of all knitted fabrics.

Stitches
These different stitches are produced by controlling the height of the needles and the individual selection of needles enable knit, tuck or miss stitches to be formed.
Lets come to know about Needle positions for the production of three stitch types
Fig : Three needle positions for the production of three stitch types.
Knit Stitch
When the needle is raised sufficiently high by the camming action to obtain the yarn in the hooked portion of the needle & the old loop is below the latch i.e., old loop is cleared, a knit stitch will be formed as the needle descends.

Float Stitch
A miss loop occurs only if the yarn is presented to the needle but is not taken by it. Here the needle is not activated upwards to receive the yarn that is presented to it & hence it will retain its old loop in the hook.

Tuck Stitch
When the needle is raised by camming action to obtain yarn in the hook, but it is not raised high enough to clear the previously formed loop below the latch, the needle will have two loops in the hook, & a tuck stitch will be formed when it knits at next course.
