After ‘casting on’ your yarn. This next video will teach you your first stich. Its called the ‘knit stitch’. There are two basic styles of knitting: the continental, and the English method. Its really a matter of preference. Most lefys like to use continental, and rightys English. This video will show you the English method. You will also learn how to ‘bind off’. Binding off is a way to end your knitting so that it doesnt unravel all your work like you see in the cartoons. Because you began with Knit stitch you want to bind of in knit stitch also, unless your pattern calls for it otherwise. **Note: When you start the bind off, you must knit 2 times, then you go back and bind off. Then the next time you only knit once, then bind off. You’ll understand when you watch the video.

ok this is like my th time watching this i keep getting confused right when u insert the second needled the first time
Hi, can you post a video on how to do a
Sl1. K2tog. psso? thank you
That is a fun way to bind off. I use to knit 2 stiches together, and put back the one I got from them, knit 2 together, and put back. And instead of looping it throught, I just pull the loop all the way to the end. Gotta try this someday
i would destroy that knitting chick. wish the girls here could knit
I watch this video to learn how to knit.. but mind doesn’t turn out straight because the thing at the ends are rounded… what do you suggest to make it perfect?
im left handed, and i cant figure out the knit stich portion. and the left handed videos out there suck.
Thank you so much for posting this video! I’m proud to say that I’m on my merry way to knitting s scarf!(with a few mistakes, here and there, of course, but it looks promising^^. Again, thank you so much xD
thank you. i just got into knitting. you tought me how to hold the yarn when i was knitting
This is the best video tutorial I have found to learn to knit, very comprehensive. I have begun my first project, a wash cloth!
help!!! i can get the first stitch onto the 2nd needle but after that it looks so retarded!
i tried this for tex stiles in school but i failed badlyyy then i tride the purl stich and i can do that one easly i made a scarfe which sticth is more advaned if you no please do tell im new to knitingg
That’s certainly helpful.
I do costumes as a hobby, and I’m kindof ashamed I didn’t know how to knit until now. I only need to know now because I want to dress as the fourth Doctor for a Sci-Fi convention and can’t find a scarf that long. I hope I’ll actually use the skill again at some point…
I thought the video was great… sometimes I can be a slow learner…so i will just keep trying! Thanks! (I subscribed!

I really wanted to knit a scarf for my mom for her birthday, and I had learned, and had forgotten how. I think this is the best video I had seen yet, but I still think I need someone right next to me teaching me! Nice job though!
Great tutorial. Just picked up needles for the first time yesterday and this was very helpful. Thanks.
i’ve a hard time figuring it out… shes doing a good job of giving direction, but looks like i’m just slow
not really. it’s just that bigger needles are much easier for beginner & it is less time consuming for certain project (eg scarf)
I don’t get this at all..
Erm, not really, its just alot easier to start with bigger needles, thats all, depends on how god you are at knitting. Hope this helped

Thank you so much. I am so grateful for your tutorial series on knitting. I was able to learn from watching you, and I have been knitting up a storm! You are a wonderful teacher, I really want to give you my gratitude. God bless!
