How to start knitting for a beginner

In this DROPS video we show you everything from cast on, knit your stitches back and forth, and to end your piece with bind off.

Mastering these techniques is the start of many exciting projects as your first dish cloth, potholder or headband...
When knitting all sts on every row, it's called garter stitch. The fabric looks the same on both sides, perfect for scarfs!

Our videos do not have sound. We are a worldwide company and our videos are watched by people speaking endless of different languages and many do not understand English. So since there is not a given language for us to use, we instead have written instructions to accompany the video, and then there is no sound to disturb while watching.

Hallo zusammen, ich habe mir die Eskimo- Wolle für einen Pulli gekauft.Zum Ausprobieren habe ich ein Handytäschchen gehäkelt.Man kann diese Wolle mit der Handwäsche waschen. Hab' ich gemacht. Jetzt stinkt die Wolle nach Schaf, Stall etc. Wie bekomme ich den Geruch wieder weg?.Danke für eine Antwort.

Hallo Dani, reine Wolle riecht etwas "nach Schaf" wenn sie feucht oder nass ist. Das verliert sich wieder, wenn die Wolle ganz trocken ist.
