How to Start Your Knitting Project

First up: the cast on. Ok, this might be a bit technical but do not worry - its the foundation stitches on your knitting needle. Step One: Make a Slip Knot and Put it on your Needle Needle in right, yarn in left. Grab the yarn with your left hand and loop it around your thumb, then stick the needle into that loop using your right hand and pull some more of it through. Voila! And that is your first ever stitch finished!!

Cast on stitches until blanket is as wide as you like. For example, Lily started with 50 stitches to make her cozy. With that all in place, we are equipped to move on regarding rows.

Knitting Success Continues with Step-by-Step Instructions

With the stitches all set on your needle, let's get to knitting! Stitches held on the left needle, empty right handereum Slide the tip of your right needle into this first left loop from front to back. Wind the yarn around your right needle and pull it through that first stitch, slipping one of your stitches off the left. Keep repeating this process all the way down a row. Congratulations! You just knitted your first row! Just like Lily made her cozy masterpiece with 50 rows of knitting to make an ideal blanket length.
