How to Knit

I would like to welcome you to the wonderful world of fibre artistry available through the delightful craft of knitting! And if you’re just here for a brush-up, welcome back! Knitting is both very simple and infinitely challenging, which is a wonderful combination able to provide a lifetime of enjoyment.

With this tutorial, you will learn the basic steps of knitting, which boil down to two very simple stitches—knit and purl. All other knitting techniques are simply variations of these two stitches, so once you learn these, you will have a good start on your knitting journey.

Along with the basic stitches, there is also much to be learned about fibre properties, how to read a pattern, yarn weights, etc. This tutorial is meant to get you started without overwhelming you.

This tutorial can be used on its own to create a gauge swatch as your first project. However, the Building Blocks Cowl & Hood pattern was designed to be used in conjunction with this course to help you create your very first wearable project. The cowl is a perfect project for absolute to advanced beginners, as it is written with instructions that take multiple skill levels into account, so you can stretch your current abilities every time you make it.

However, the online version has been adapted from the downloadable version. To enjoy a more guided experience, be sure to download the free eBook above.

The eBook that includes the complete tutorial is FREE exclusively for newsletter subscribers.
