How can I learn Knitting as a Beginner

 Learning knitting as a beginner can be simple if you start with the basics and build gradually. First, gather essential supplies: a pair of medium-sized needles (US size 8 or 9), some light-colored worsted weight yarn, and scissors. Choose smooth yarn so you can see your stitches clearly.

Begin by learning how to cast on, which is how you put stitches onto the needle. Then practice the knit stitch—the foundation of most projects. Once you are comfortable, add the purl stitch to expand your skills. With these two stitches, you can create many patterns and textures.

YouTube tutorials and beginner-friendly books are great resources for step-by-step guidance. Start with simple projects like a scarf, dishcloth, or headband, as they let you practice without pressure. Aim to knit a little each day to build muscle memory.

Joining online knitting communities or local groups can provide support, tips, and motivation. Remember, mistakes are part of the learning process, so keep practicing and be patient with yourself. Over time, your stitches will become more even, and your confidence will grow. If you want laid out steps with visuals then I highly recommend the book, The Ultimate Knitting and Crotchet guide by Kylie Payne.
