Just Starting Out? You’re in the Right Place
Knitting can look tricky at first, but once you learn the basics, it becomes a relaxing, rewarding craft that you can take anywhere.
All you need to begin is:
- A pair of knitting needles (size 8 US / 5 mm is a great starting point)
- Some medium-weight yarn (acrylic or cotton yarn is beginner-friendly)
- A yarn needle and small scissors
Start by learning:
- How to cast on
- The knit stitch (aka garter stitch when done back and forth)
- How to bind off
With those three skills, you can already make scarves, washcloths, and headbands. And once you add in the purl stitch, you unlock a whole new world of textures and patterns!
We feature patterns that walk you through each step, and many include photos or video tutorials to guide you as you go.
Pro tip: Keep practicing, and don’t worry if your tension isn’t perfect -even wobbly stitches make something beautiful.
Ready for a Challenge?
If you’re past the basics, this section also includes tons of fun and creative projects to keep your needles busy:
- Learn cable knitting, lacework, or colorwork techniques
- Try top-down or seamless sweaters and cardigans
- Make cozy socks or mittens for chilly days
- Explore modular knitting with squares, hexagons, or strips
- Knit home accessories that add a handmade touch to any space
We also love quick, stash-busting projects and one-skein wonders you can finish in a single sitting.
Knitting Is More Than Just Scarves!
Scarves are a great start, but knitting can go way beyond that:
- Accessories: hats, cowls, leg warmers, and bags
- Baby gifts: booties, blankets, sweaters, and hats
- Decor: mug cozies, table runners, soft baskets, and wall hangings
- Gifts: from thoughtful handmade items to fun novelty knits
Knitting is also super portable and soothing, which makes it the perfect creative outlet for relaxing evenings, long car rides, or cozy weekend mornings.
