Learn How to Knit with Easy Beginner Instructions
by Chris Robertson Knitting provides a hobby that's fun, requires self-discipline and steadfastness, and allows you to feel a sense of achievement when your knitting project is complete.
Knitting Defined
Knitting is a craft in which two needles along with thread or yarn are used to create fabric pieces or garments by creating loops in the yarn. It can be used to create many types of fabric, from framed knitting artwork to sweaters, afghan quilts, throws, blankets, mittens, or even bedroom slippers.
The most basic type of knitting is called the knit stitch. With the knit stitch, you'll slip the needle through the loop from front to back. Then, loop the yarn around the needle and put the stitch through onto the second needle. Another common type of knitting is the purl stitch, which is handled in an opposite manner than the knit stitch. When learning how to knit through paid or free knitting lessons for beginners, you'll learn these basics first. |

Why Learn How to Knit?
Knitting has been around for thousands of years, and probably always will be. So, why learn how to knit when you can easily buy finished fabrics in the marketplace?
One, knitting gives you a sense of accomplishment. When you complete a beautiful piece that can be framed as a home decor piece, you'll be proud to hang it on your wall. When you complete a lovely, warm sweater made with your own hands, you can proudly wear it and explain that you knitted it yourself.
Two, learning how to knit requires self-discipline and steadfastness. You must work on it consistently to complete a project. When children learn to knit, they also learn to set goals, stick with something until the end, and accomplish something special.
Three, knitted items make excellent gifts. When your friend or loved one becomes an expectant mother, you can immediately begin knitting a blanket for the baby. Or, knit slippers for your family members as Christmas gifts. Giving something you made with your own hands makes a very special gift from the heart.
Where to Learn
Learning how to knit is easy today with so many online resources. There are online paid or free knitting lessons for beginners as well as advanced instructions. You can opt to learn from an individual locally, but this can cost quite a bit of time and money. Learning how to knit online enables you to learn from your own home during your spare time. It's also very affordable. |
