What do I need to learn how to knit?


assistant
To learn to knit you will need a few basic knitting supplies. First, you will need some yarn, knitting needles, and if you’d like, a pattern. Knitting needles come in many sizes so if you plan to make a specific pattern follow the pattern instructions. You begin knitting by casting on a certain amount of stitches, then follow the pattern for specific knit or purl stitches.
