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 step, as always, is to pick up a pair of knitting needles! The next steps are up to you, choosing-your-own-journey is one of the best parts of learning a new craft.
Our Knitting for Beginners page has tutorials for the first five skills you need to in order to make your very first project. Learn how to make a slip knot, how to cast on, the basic knit and purl stitches, and finally how to cast off.
After you’ve gotten the hang of all five techniques you’ll be knitting your way through basic patterns like a pro.
1. How to Cast On for Knitting – load stitches onto your knitting needles.
2. How to Knit! The first stitch to learn, this creates a smooth, flat fabric perfect for all kinds of projects.
3. How to Purl! The second stitch to learn, this creates a textured fabric that pairs with knit stitches.
4. How to Bind Off – this takes your stitches off the knitting needles and finishes a project so that it doesn’t unravel.
