Materials You'll Need

• Yarn
• Knitting needles
• Scissors
• Measuring tape or ruler

Choosing Yarn

The first step is to choose the right yarn for your project. There are many different types of yarn available, so it's important to choose one that is appropriate for your skill level and the type of project you want to make.

For beginners, it's best to choose a medium-weight worsted weight yarn. Worsted weight yarn is not too thick and not too thin, making it easy to work with. It's also a good choice for a variety of projects, from scarves and hats to sweaters and blankets.

Choosing Knitting Needles

Once you have chosen your yarn, you need to choose the right knitting needles. Knitting needles come in a variety of sizes, so it's important to choose a size that is appropriate for the yarn you are using.

The size of the knitting needles is determined by the thickness of the yarn. For worsted weight yarn, you will need to use size 7 or 8 knitting needles.

Now that you have your materials, you're ready to get started! The first step is to cast on.

To do the long-tail cast on, follow these steps:

1. Make a slip knot and place it on your left-hand needle.
2. With your right-hand needle, pick up the working yarn and bring it through the loop on your left-hand needle.
3. Slip the new loop onto your left-hand needle.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have the desired number of stitches on your needles.

Knit Stitch

The knit stitch is the most basic knitting stitch. To do the knit stitch, follow these steps:

1. Insert your right-hand needle into the front loop of the next stitch on your left-hand needle.
2. Pick up the working yarn and bring it through the loop on your left-hand needle.
3. Slip the new loop onto your right-hand needle.
4. Slip the old loop off your left-hand needle.

1. Insert your right-hand needle into the back loop of the next stitch on your left-hand needle.
