Now you are ready to knit!

You have now casted on all your stitches its now time to start knitting!

The next process you will do in knitting is called making the '
Knit' stitch, this very similar to the first step, its simply just making your knitting longer.
To do this you must....

  • With the yarn at the back of the work, insert the right hand needle from left to right through the front of the first stitch on the left hand needle.
  • Wind the yarn over the right hand needle
  • Pull through a loop
  • Slip the original stitch off the left hand needle
  • ...Then repeat until all the stitches have been transferred from the left to the right hand needle.

Easy pweasy!... Hmmmm! don't worry if you don't get it straight away... I didn't! Just keep practicing and when you do finally get it... You'll feel amazing!

  3. Hey Abstract, I would recommend getting bamboo needles, in a various sizes, These are normally very cheap and work well for starters. Have a look on Ebay or have a look in second hand or charity shops!
