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

• Casting on: the foundation step that sets the width of your piece.
• The basic knit stitch: the most fundamental movement, repeated to build the fabric.
• Purling: the partner to the knit stitch, opening up patterns like stocking stitch and ribbing.
• The cast-off: how you take your work off the needles without it unravelling.

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