/// HOW TO KNIT: A FREE BEGINNER SERIES ///
Check out the full series: sheepandstitch.com/how-to-knit/
The knit stitch is the most basic and fundamental stitch in knitting. After all, it’s the namesake of the craft we’re learning. Master the knit stitch and you, my friend, are a bonafide knitter!
In this video, I’ll walk you through the knit stitch.
Like most skills, knitting takes time to perfect. You probably won’t get the hang of it on your first try. You probably won’t even get it on your second try. The important thing is to keep trying.
Why?
You’ve heard the concept of “muscle memory,” right? It’s the idea that the more you repeat a movement, the more it becomes second nature. Because the movement is controlled by your subconscious mind instead of your conscious mind, you don’t need to think through each step of a movement. Without thinking, you can just do it. That’s muscle memory!
So, don’t fret if you don’t get the knit stitch right away. Most people don’t. The more you practice, the faster muscle memory will kick in. Before you know it, you’ll be knitting with your eyes closed. You have muscle memory to thank for that!
You’ll find tutorials and guides for making a Slipknot, Cast On, Knit Stitch and Cast Off. These techniques form a sturdy foundation for knitting.

Ch1ck0n Pie- Oof :-(

@skittlepockz6561 4 года назад

Ch1ck0n Pie- to slow it down for you, you cast on as many stitches as you want. Then, Put the empty needle through the first stitch (they should be facing the same direction). grab the crafting end of your yarn (the one that is attached to the ball) and put it in between the two needles. now you grab the stitch on the left and basically put it on the right (sorry don’t know how to explain that part).

I just found this channel and I love it. My mom was a knitter, but I never picked it up. She passed last year (2022) and I found all her yarn and needles when cleaning out her house. I didn't want to get rid of them as I remember watching her knit on many occasions. So, I brought everything home and it's just been sitting around my house. I decided on a whim to see if I could learn how and found this channel. I watched how to do the casting stitches and now am working on my first row. I am so excited!!!

@cosettenoel6259 3 года назад

3 Tips for Beginner Knitters: 1. IGNORE THE TAIL. I had this urge to move the tail out of the way, which was a big mistake. Don't move it, just ignore it, and it'll move onto the lowest stich on your "knitting" needle. 2. KEEP GOING. In the beginning, it's going to look really weird, and won't look like knitting. If you keep going, it'll look a lot better. Trust me on that one. 3. DON'T PULL HARD. This one is important. If you pull hard when you're knitting on each stich, it'll get really tight and won't allow you to keep knitting. If you give it a nice, gentle tug, it'll work out fine. I hope these helped, and happy knitting! :)

Thank you again!!!!! Also someone asked me to make a Pom Pom for a hat. I looked at different videos, I tried yours, she loved it!!!!!!! She is 93 and had been knitting for years but had to slow due to arthritis!!! She made the hat but was too tired to make the Pom Pom!!!!

So listen to what she says and use the thicker yarn and bigger bamboo needles! It makes all the difference for when you're starting out!

Loved watching this video! It was the first one I clicked on when searching for knitting videos. My 14 yr old granddaughter and I are learning together (my mom taught me when I was a little younger than Elissa but I got bored with making potholders and gave it up.) We attempted to learn with books but had to find a video to really understand. Be patient, it takes a bit to get it down. At one point, Elissa said to me, "If you weren't here, I would have already given up." I said to her, "If you weren't here, I wouldn't have started!" It helps to have a knitting buddy to keep each other encouraged and moving forward. Like I told her, the most professional knitter in the world started at the very same place, learning to make a slip knot and to cast on! Don't give up!!!

I’m not a beginner but The thing is I haven’t knitted in a year and a half because I moved countries from South Africa to Australia and in South Africa a few weeks before I left my grandmother taught me how to knit but then when I got to this place I totally forgot and my memory just went blank so yeah that’s how I’m not a beginner

@drakonsana8085 3 года назад

omg Thank You So Much i was knitting a scarf for my bestie and i somehow casted on stitched in my own way and it was fine at first but the stitches were so tight i rage quit and unraveled it all. Then i decided to look at RU-vid videos because i knew i wasnt doing something right.

I am happy to say that after an afternoon of trial and error, I've finally made a square!!! You have no idea the smile that was on my face when I realized that I DID THAT SHIT!!! I don't comment on videos much, but I just had to come on here and say thank you to Sheep and Stitch for your amazing tutorial (and fueling a new hyper fixation lol).

@sheepandstitch 8 месяцев назад

Awesome! That square is the result of your hard work and persistence. Well done! 👏👏👏

Thank you and I’m open for this journey since my classes switched to online. I understand I’m still in school but being in my room gives me more time to find something else to do than be depressed or stressed out. Thank you again.

@beccawebb9330 4 года назад

Everytime I try to take it off the first needle it just collapses and I lose the stitch. I can do it upto the last step and then it's unclear what I'm supposed to do

@starkcd 4 года назад

If you kinda push the right needle (the one the stitch is going onto) through the stitch a little bit AS you are pulling up to pull the stitch off the left needle, it will make it easier to hold onto the stitch. There is a fine line between making stitches too tight, (which helps the stitches stay on the needle--not fall of as easy) and too loose (which makes it easier to get into on the next row but makes it easier to lose the stitch off the needle). You will have to figure out that tension for yourself. Once you figure out that sweet spot your knitting will become more consistent and look so much better.

@CocotheNut 4 года назад

Ok so for anybody who's having trouble with the last part: the problem for me was that I couldn't see the part that you're supposed to grab with the right needle, so here's what worked for me: After you insert the right needle into a loop on the left needle, you wrap the around counter clockwise, and THIS is the yarn you need to grab. After you put the yarn in between the needles, as you're moving the right needle down and up to the left, keep the point of the right needle against the trunk of the left needle, and the right needle will naturally grab the loop that was created by wrapping the working yarn around the needle. Hope this helps

Awesome! You might also like this video for getting started with knitting. It goes over the cast on, knit stitch and cast off: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-24lR2IRS57A.html By the way, can I ask how you found this video? I actually have it as an "unlisted" video since my new website isn't live yet (and the video mentions the website). I just noticed this video has 110 views! I have no idea how that happened since this video shouldn't really be view-able on RU-vid unless you have the video link!

@HTTSO 5 лет назад

I had been looking up another tutorial elsewhere and someone mentioned your channel name as a good source of information for beginners. I found the video in the playlist "How to Knit for Total Beginners" After watching those three videos I've been able to make a couple coasters already.

I'm still learning as well but I think when you pull up the loop it's the piece of yarn you are bringing around the needle, from what I can tell it's kinda the same as casting on, your making a new loop just for the opposite side, so u make a new loop and just push off the existing one from the first needle
