The First Steps

For Absolute Beginners
1, 2, 3, it’s all you need to learn

With the correct yarn and needles, knitting can be successful and satisfying.

This might not be how you feel as an absolute beginner but I am here to help!

What you do with these stitches is where the infinite comes into play. So before we do anything else we start with smooth needles and gorgeous yarn, these are like your best friends, they have your back!

1. Cast On
2. Knit
3. Cast Off
That's it!

Just take one step at a time.
