Lean How To Knit In One Hour
Fast and Easy-- So Simple!!
Make a slip knot.
Make a loop with the end of yarn. The long end of the yarn (the one attached to the ball) should go
over the short, loose end as shown.
Pinch the long end through the loop and...
Pull it gently up and through the loop. Don't pull so much of it, though, that the loose end comes
through.
Slip this new loop over one knitting needle.
Pull on the ends to tighten the knot around the needle.
Cast on.
Make another loop with the yarn that's connected to the ball. The end that comes from the needle
should be behind the end that comes from the ball.
Slip the loop onto the needle.
Pull the long end (the yarn that goes to the ball) to secure the loop.
Repeat several times. Each time you do this, you create a stitch. The slip knot from the previous step
counts as your first stitch and every loop you add is another stitch.
Knit a stitch. There are various kinds of stitches you can make in knitting, but the actual "knit" stitch is
only one of them. You can also do the purl stitch, for example. Since you have to start somewhere, let's
begin with the knit stitch.
Insert the second needle into the loop that's closest to the point. When the needles make an "x" the
yarn should be behind the "x" not in front of it.
With whichever hand is holding the needle that just got inserted, use your pointer finger and thumb to
bring the yarn forward between the needles (right on top of the intersection where the needles meet)
and wrap it around the inserted needle (around the front and towards the back) as shown.
Start pulling the inserted needle out of the loop slowly, making sure that the yarn you just wrapped
around it doesn't fall off. It may help to hold that yarn tight so the loop remains snug around the needle.
As the point of the needle is about to pull completely out of the loop, turn the point so that it faces you
and takes the yarn that was wrapped around it along. What you're doing here is pulling a loop through
a stitch. That loop you just pulled onto the second needle is a new stitch.
Now that you've got a new stitch, pull off the previous stitch that you were working with. Just pull on the
new stitch gently until the old stitch (the one that you pull the loop through) falls off of the first needle.
Repeat until you've knitted every stitch that was on the first needle, and they'll all been transferred to
the second needle.
Switch the needles. Knit all the stitches from the full needle to the empty needle.
Knit every row. Keep doing this and you'll start creating a "garter stitch" pattern.
Cast off.
Cut the yarn, leaving a 6 inch (15cm) end.
With your fingers, gently pull on the last stitch to make it a little bit bigger.
Pull the cut end through the loop and pull it tight.
Congratulations! You have just knitted for the first time.




















Learning to Knit is fun and easy to do. The only materials you will need are either two pencils or 2 knitting needles and some yarn. The
bigger the size of the knitting needle the bigger the loops will be on the finished item. So I recommend to use about a size 11 knitting
needles. Or if you are really in a hurry to learn how to knit and begin then you could just practice the loops with two pencils.
Also you will need some yarn. A worsted yarn is best to begin to learn with. Worsted means average weight. An average weight yarn is a
good type of yarn to begin with. Also Angora yarn is a nice soft pleasing yarn to use too.

Angora Yarn. Angora yarn is made from the Angora wool that my Angora Bunnies make. I get clip their wool every 3 months. Just like
giving a dog a hair cut. Next I take the Angora wool and card it. That is actually just a way to organize the fibers. Then I spin the Angora
wool into yarn. I make finger weight (a thin yarn) as well as thicker yarn. If you are Learning to Knit ask me for Beginner Angora Wool. The
Learn To Knit Angora Wool is the easiest weighed yarn to work with. So now get ready to Learn To Knit The Easy Way!! Ready set go!!
