Cast on - continental method

There are different methods to cast on. This one is the most common that gives a firm but still elastic edge. It’s called the continental method. The cast on should be firm but not too hard. If you feel it becomes too tight you can use larger needles or cast on around two needles and then pull one needle out afterwards. Remember to use the correct needles when starting your knitting.

Beginner knitter

This video 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 !

Knit (K) - US/UK method

Time to knit: we start by learning how to knit stitches. We are knitting using the US / UK method. This means we are holding the yarn in our right hand and wrap it around the needle with our right hand...

Purl (P) - US/UK method

The English method of purl stitches creates exactly the same stitch, but doing this you hold the working yarn in your right hand. Lay the yarn around the needle with your right hand.

The opposite of the knit stitch is a purl stitch. If you knit all rows back and forth you will get what’s called garter stitch, if you alternate between one row with knitted stitches and one row of purled stitches you will get what’s called stockinette stitch. The method of making purl stitches that we are showing here is the continental method.
