Now it's a fun, creative hobby for anyone. I wanted to set out some basic knitting in
There are a few types of stitches that can be used to make dramatic patterns on blankets, but these should only be attempted by those who have learned the basics. It is a very simple stitch and usually worked over a multiple of four stitches with two extra. Knitting a wool blanket will probably take a person many tries, but in the end if they can stick to practicing, they will become a good knitter.
You could even teach a "keep up" class where people who have completed all three classes meet once a month or bimonthly to keep in touch with knitting. The garter stitch is often referred to as plain knitting because every row is made by either a knit or a purl stitch. Although they are mirror images in form, right- and left-plaited stitches are functionally equivalent.
But, that's the essence of knitting. You also will usually want to stick with chunky yarns (this is a good use for "novelty" yarns, which have lots of texture and are usually thick but also light and fluffy), since they knit up quickly so you can make more presents.
