Materials Needed:

Yarn: Choose a medium-weight yarn for beginners.

Knitting Needles: Size 8 or 9 needles are good for starting.

Scissors: For cutting yarn.

Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends.

Basic Knitting Techniques:

Casting On:

This is the process of creating the initial stitches on the

needle.

Long-Tail Cast-On: Make a slip knot and place it on the

needle. Hold the needle in your right hand. With your left
hand, hold the yarn with your thumb and index finger,
creating a loop. Insert the needle through the loop, wrap the
yarn around the needle, and pull through to create a new
stitch.

Knit Stitch:

The most basic stitch in knitting.

Insert the right needle into the first stitch on the left needle
from front to back. Wrap the yarn around the right needle,
pull the loop through, and slide the old stitch off the left
needle.

from back to front. Wrap the yarn around the right needle,
pull the loop through, and slide the old stitch off the left
needle.

stitches.

stitch over the second stitch and off the right needle. Knit
another stitch and repeat until only one stitch remains. Cut
the yarn, leaving a tail, and pull it through the last stitch to
secure.

Steps to Knit a Simple Scarf:

correct number of stitches and that your knitting is even.

stitches.

the back side of your knitting

decorations if you like.
