Learning to knit starts with a few essential skills that form the backbone of the craft.

• Casting on: creating the first row of loops on the needle to begin any project.
• Garter stitch: the most fundamental movement, repeated to build the fabric.
• Purling: the technique that lets you create different stitch patterns.
• Casting off: the final step that secures your stitches and finishes the piece neatly.

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