How to Knit – The Basics

This video will show you the basics of knitting. Follow along and see how easy it is to actually do! Anyone can learn to knit and it’s a great craft to know if you want to give handmade gifts! A simple large knitted rectangle is essentially an afghan. So this simple stitch can go pretty far and will keep you warm for years to come!

If you do not know how to make a Slip Knot, we have a separate video for that here:

    I got some knitting needles and I was raring to go but it is so hard for me. My mom tried to teach me when I was younger but I couldn’t get the hang of it. I took up crocheting instead because it was a lot easier, but now I want to learn. Thank you for your instructional video.
