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

• The starting row: 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 technique that lets you create different stitch patterns.
• Binding off: how you take your work off the needles without it unravelling.

Working with an experienced instructor gives you confidence to tackle your first scarf, hat or jumper.
