Have you been curious about knitting, but don’t know where to start? This 14-Day Learn to Knit series will help you begin your knitting journey, teaching you the basics and guiding you through your first knitting project. The first lessons cover knitting supplies and terminology. From there, the lessons move on to teach you how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off. In the second half of the series, you’ll learn a basic increase and decrease and then cast on and knit your first project – a cute and comfy cowl. It’s going to be a fun-filled 14 days of learning to knit. Let’s find joy in our stitches. Be sure to save or bookmark this page to access your daily instructions.

Thank you
Thank you
Excited to relearn how to knit and knit my 2nd project ever
Grateful for this opportunity. I learned to loom knit but I have trouble with casting on using traditional 2 needle knitting techniques. This lesson will take me to the NEXT level yessssss!!
It is great opportunity to learn a skill that is not learned in systematic way.
I’m excited for these classes.
Thank you for offering us this opportunity. I always wanted to learn to knit, and now the opportunity is here!
I am having surgery next week and don’t know what shape I’ll be in after. I will be wearing a hard collar around my neck but I’m thinking I should be able to get the basics – and a cowl will hide some of the collar! Will it be possible for me to go online when I am up for it? What size needles do I need? I do have quite a few, not to mention lots of yarn since I’ve been wanting to learn for a long time.
thanks
I love hands on work knitting cooking and sewing

I’m excited about this!
I would like to knit. My mom tried teaching me but didn’t happen.
Thank you so much for sharing, for me it is very usefull, though I speak English, the knitting terms are little difficult for me to understand, but with the esplanation and the videos is much easier to me to know what you are talking about. Again thank you so much. Blessings from Guatemala.
Thank you so much for sharing your talent. I have never used circular, but I would love to learn!! Also learning different terminology. Blessings and once again ty
Many years since I did any knitting (very, very basic!) Thought this a good place to start.

Total beginner. Is this OK?
I know how to knit some, But I see some stitches I am not familiar with. This will be good to cement the foundation.
I’m looking forward to learng to knit. I crochet a lot now, but have seen knit patterns I’d love to try..
This looks doable. My schedule is very busy for the next month so I will have to stretch it out.
I am really love knitting
My Mother was an avid knitter. I have her knitting needles. She died a number of years ago and I have been kicking myself that I didn’t ask her to teach me. So, this is very exciting to me. I have lots of time as I am retired and find knitting to be sooo relaxing. I also Crochet and I love how fast that goes, however, my preference is to knit. Thank you for this!
Wish to put up a website with your guidance. A website that is on CRAFT; and maybe…. be your affiliate here in the Philippines….if this is OK for you.
Many thanks 😊
Can you show for left handed knitters?
A video on how to use double pointed needles would be great.
