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!
