knit how to cast on

In this article, I will attempt to explain some of the basic knitting stitches and everything they encompass. I think when people try to learn to knit they choose the wrong pattern and the wrong supplies.

Learn more about Learn How to Knit - for Beginners or Majon's Crafts and Hobbies directory. When you complete a lovely, warm sweater made with your own hands, you can proudly wear it and explain that you knitted it yourself. As well, I like to be able to spread my work out and check my pattern for any mistakes and it is much easier to view when using these needles.

Of course, the challenge of a complicated pattern, or a technique previously untried requires a bit more focus and can result in "tinking" (also known as un-knitting) or even some serious "frogging" (ripping out more than a few stitches, so called because "rip-it, rip-it" is reminiscent of the frog's "ribbit"). There is also the cooperative aspect to knitting. Although the new stitch is itself unsecured ("active"), it secures the stitch(es) suspended from it.
