How to Knit For Beginners
Step by step knitting

Do you want to learn how to knit? Well you're in the right place. 

As a beginner, knitting may feel a little awkward for you at first, even intimidating but don't worry. 

Knitting is quite easy to learn and it's even fun too.

Here at Simple, I'm going to teach you to knit from the very beginning and I'm going to cover all those 'how to knit basics' you need to know about. 

Things like, how to hold your knitting needles and yarn, how to cast on, how to purl and knit and how to cast off knitting stitches too. 

Is it easy to learn how to knit?

Yes it really is, in fact you can learn to knit in a few hours. It's really not that difficult.

You see there are only two basic stitches you need to learn, knit and purl. These two stitches create all sorts of beautiful stitches textures.

You'll even be able to tackle one of my beginner knitting patterns below.

what do i need To Start Knitting?

Thankfully knitting is quite a simple craft and can be easy on the budget. All you need to start knitting is a pair of knitting needles and some yarn.

I would choose a nice medium weight yarn that smooth and light colored and knitting needles will be your choice on either straight or circulars.

I go into more detail here on my beginning knitting page. It's all about choosing yarn and needles for beginners.

What is the easiest thing to learn to knit?

I'd have to say my Garter stitch hat and the neck warmer scarf that's down below on this page. 

I created these patterns for beginner knitters and they're both super easy and fun to knit. 

You'll find everything you need here at simple-knitting, in fact there just might be something for everyone and it's really quite fun, so let's get started.
