Tutorials

We know that knitting for beginners can be both fun and frustrating. We’re here to demystify all the techniques, terms, and tricky stitches beginner knitters are excited to try.

The first four tutorials show you how to get the yarn onto the needles (casting on), how to do the two basic stitches: knitting and purling, and then how to get your project off the needles (binding off). 

All the basics can be found on our Knitting for Beginners page too!

Toques are close-fitting hats that people wear to fight the cold. These accessories are often brimless and quite comfy to wear. They are also perfect projects to practice the loom knit rib stitch on!

This super easy loom knit toque will start with a knit round and a purl round to prevent the edges from curling up. Then you will alternate 4 E-wrap knit stitches and 2 purl stitches all around the loom. Doing this will give you a stretchy loom knit toque that you can show off to your friends or sell in your next craft fair!
