How do you knit numbers into things?

Question

im knitting a golf club cover for a friend but he wants the number 3 on it but i dont know how to knit letters or numbers into things yet.

Answer 1

I agree with the other poster. If you need help, look up "duplicate stitch" and it should show you correctly how to make the stitches look like knit stitches.

Answer 2

This is called intarsia and you need to wrap your yarn for the number around a yarn bobbin so that it can hang at the back of your work while you continue on with the pattern.  Below is a link to explain this method.

Answer 3

you have to take a contract colour wool to make a symbol of 3. this is to be done whilst knitting. or the easiest method if  you cannot incorporate or making of the number 3 whilst knitting. Use a contrast wool, thread it in the cross stitching needle, and in the cross stitch method make no. 3 on whatever you are knitting, whereever you want.
