I’ve included 2 videos below for each stitch. Practice them a few times, and you’lll be clicking those needles like you’ve been doing it for years! Knitting is such a wonderful world with endless possibilities…here’s to your journey! How to Knit: Knitting is a lot like purling, only reversed! You will create a “V” when you knit as shown below. Step 1: “Go through the front door” Step 2: Criss cross your needles, with the right needle to the back. Step 3: “and around the back” Step 4: Bring right needle under loop & drop loop off left needle. How to Purl: Purling is also very simple to do, & will create a “purl bump” as shown below. Always start with your yarn held to the front when starting a purl. Step 1: “Under the fence” Step 2: “Catch the sheep” Step 3: “Back we come” Step 4: “Off we leap!”

Happy Knitting! Back issues.
