Learn how to knit with basic skills, tools and supplies and create any garment you want, including a lovely lacy keyhole scarf.

Then Stefanie ups the ante by showing you a host of useful demonstrations that you can come back to again and again. Learn how to increase, decrease, make a buttonhole, knit lace, block, seam and much, much more. As a fun bonus, Stefanie will also show you how to knit with alternative materials such as tulle and trash bags.
