The basics of knitting combine simple hand movements, the right tools and a bit of patience.

• The cast-on: creating the first row of loops on the needle to begin any project.
• The basic knit stitch: the stitch you'll repeat most often when starting out.
• Purling: the second core stitch that adds texture and variety to your work.
• Casting off: the final step that secures your stitches and finishes the piece neatly.

With a private tutor, you'll pick up these basics far quicker than learning alone, with personalised feedback at every step.

Most beginners can grasp the basic stitches within a few hours, though smooth, even tension takes a bit longer.

• First few hours: you'll learn to cast on and complete your first knit stitches.
• The opening week: tension and rhythm begin to settle once you've knitted a few hundred stitches.
• A month in: adding the purl stitch opens up textured patterns like ribbing and stocking stitch.
• As you progress: hats, mittens and jumpers come within reach as you tackle techniques like increases, decreases and knitting in the round.

A patient knitting tutor can shorten this learning curve significantly by spotting and correcting mistakes in real time.
