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! 

Free Patterns!

  • 👀 Looking for a way to add stitches to your knits? Front and back increases are here to save the day! 🎉

🔍Front and back increases can be quite visible, so they are perfect for busy-looking knits or knits with lots of ribbing in them like cabled sweaters and scarves!

🌟Abbreviations to take note off:
🌟Knit front & back = KFB
🌟Purl front & back = PFB

To make these increases, you will work a single stitch twice. Once through the front loop and once through the back of the stitch.

This means that every time you work an increase, you will end up with a knit "V" and a purl "bump" in your fabric.

🤨This method of increasing may sound hard and confusing, but it's very easy. Let me show you how.💃
