you know, i'm a 19 year old boy and i used to knit with my gran when i was really young, like 6 or 7 maybe? well when my dad found out he told me it was a thing only old women do, so i stopped it. i forgot how to knit at all (even though i wasn't great at it back then haha), but now i'm trying to pick it back up in her honour and this tutorial has really helped me get the hang of it fairly quickly! (even if i am painfully slow at the actual knitting!) so thank you!

"This is a really easy calming art" *me literally dying trying to make a slip knot*

Notes for myself: 4:15 slip knot and start. 5:10 continue. At 8:05 we begin using both needles and knit! 13:20 cast off and _exeunt_ 🌹

I FINISHED. I started November 2021 and took many long pauses from working and only just now, on November 2nd 2022, have I finished. Definitely accidentally added a ton of stitches early on so it’s way too wide and therefore too short but it’s still definitely a scarf and I’m very proud and excited to knit more :) Also I’d recommend that once you’re comfortable with knit stitch, you consider alternating some purl in this. Just to make it less monotonous and create a more interesting design.

At the beginning I had yarn and no knitting needles so I used Pencils

If you click on the video itself and then click on the three vertical dots in upper right corner you'll find a button half way down the menu that will adjust the video playback speed. You can slow video down to 1/4 of normal speed and up to 3 times faster than normal. Faster speeds come in handy when listening to audio books. By increasing the speed by just one level will get you through material that much faster without sacrificing comprehension. This must be a recent KZfaq feature. I just learned about it this past week. Hope this info helps you guys out there.

me when i make first stitch when casting on: **screaming** I DID IT I DID IT

Starting my first scarf right now! Thank you for making it so clear!

Thank you for making this video. I am a 37 year old combat vet, and my 5 year old daughter wanted a scarf. Your video showed me how to make one without going (more) insane.

Made a scarf from your tutorial and it was really fun! thanks for making the video very simple. Just 1 thing - being a beginner , i missed lots of loops during the first section of the scarf, i wish you had a clip on how to knit the missed loops

Thank you so much for preparing this carefully instructed video. That last time I did any knitting was when I was in my late teens. Now, at 75, this craft is like starting from scratch. I must have torn out that first row so many times the yarn was getting overworked. Thankfully the next rows are going much better and definitely more quickly.

I’ve crocheted for years because my maternal grandmother crocheted and my mother was able to teach me what she remembered. My paternal grandmother knit, but she never taught my dad. Tomorrow I’m picking up some needles and am going to try to get in touch with that side of the family. Thanks for the video, it’s made me very excited to begin!

"When you finally master these basic stitches, you can even do these without looking. So you can watch a movie..." Me: **Already imagining me watching Harry Potter while knitting a Slytherin Scarf**

I've watched this video 5 times & I cannot get this. I'm so lost. I can get to the slip knot but then get lost.

Thank you, my mum knitted most of my life an tried to teach me. I haven't done it in years. She passed last year and the yearning to knit came back. Thank you for helping me get started back on this journey.

Jennifer, during Covid quarantine, I thought I would give your beginner knit scarf a try. I am sometimes taken back by projects that are described as beginner that don't seem to hold true to the definition of beginner but I have had wonderful success with your crochet tutorials and have confidence that your projects are always true to your description. I am happy to say today I finished my very first knit scarf and I absolutely love how it turned out.. I used a Caron Cake in the color, Blackberry Mousse so there is a deep purple, mauve, burgundy and some brown. I love that my edges are aligned, I can definitely accomplish the Knit Stitch at this point and I was able to follow the binding off. I have a new appreciation and love for such a beloved yarn craft. I am hopeful I'll find additional knitting tutorials on your channel. You are a wonderful teacher and this is the perfect tutorial for an absolute beginner. Thank you so much!

I am a boy and I love knitting with my two grandmas and my mom but my grandpas want me to play lacrosse and basketball but I would rather knit or do ballet

well I thought I was being smart getting the fluffiest whool. Now I can't continue because I can't see individual stitches

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Recently started knitting and finished first scarf in two weeks. Such a fun hobby :)

Video starts at 3:50

My knitting abilities are limited to scarves and pot holders.

I am fan of your crochet videos! I learnt to knit today thanks to this tutorial! I even got the same kids knitting needles and started with bernat pop just the way you showed! Thanks Jennifer 😊😊❤️

Just went out and picked up all the supplies in the video x2 for the wife too. Family learn to knit night. Gonna start with this scarf and move up to a blanket for our kiddos. Thanks for the awesome video.

This video was very detailed and made knitting seem like something easy, like turning on the light! 🥰

I have been so intimidated by needle knitting but you make it look so easy lol def gonna try this :) please do more 💕

I'm knitting a scarf for our school project and our teacher thought us how to knit but I didn't pay attention and you saved my life!

omg I've just wanted to start knitting today as it's something I've always wanted to try and all the videos I've watched today have said they've been beginners tutorial but not quite beginners coz I'm that beginner that doesn't know how to make a stitch!!! So grateful for this video omg thanks!

I followed this and made my first scarf. Never knitted before but this was easy. Made a few mistakes but learned a lot and am happy with the result!

Knitted my first scarf with this tutorial! Thank you :)

Amazing! I followed this video to make my first ever knitted scarf and I've made so many more. Thank you !! Super easy, you're a great teacher :)

Awesome Tutorial Jennifer! I'm self taught knitter but have just played around with it, not made a project before. Thanks for the Inspiration to make this. Thanks for sharing and your time 💖🖒😍👏

for my uncles birthday i’m making him things because when my aunt started dating him i didny rlly like him and i’ve always been a bit distanced wi him so imma just make him stuff cuz that’s how i show i’m comfy with ppl

Thank you so much for the video! It was great to follow along with someone! Also I loved how you explained and showed what you were doing with the needles and yarn so clearly, thanks!!

I've tried to learn knitting before and failed every time, but I was finally able to start making rows with the help from this video. Thank you!!

Great tutorial Jennifer. I tried knitting once before but it didn't work out. I love your easy directions 💖

I really liked the way you explained everything, especially how to cast on and cast off! I’m learning how to crochet and knit, and your videos are really helpful

anyone here because of quarantine?

This was wonderful!! I crochet but have always wanted to try knitting but was always confusing for me. Your tutorial was so easy to follow! Thanks for your detailed and slow step by step instructions. Please make more easy beginner friendly tutorials for knitting.

OMG I'm knitting for the first time. I have been crocheting for over 30 years but have always wanted to knit but looked way too complicated. But thanks to you I'm doing it and I'm happier than a hog in slop. Thanks.

Since I'm in quarantine I decided to pick up a new hobby! Thank you for the tutorial

I am more a crocheter than a knitter but I've always wanted to learn. This tutorial was super helpful, thank you.

It took me forever and numerous sites but when I found this video-it worked for me, when the others didn't. Had to watch one part ALOT to get it into my head but it worked! Thanks!!!

“I picked the red needle so you can see a lot of contrast” Red-green colourblind people: -_-

Thank you so much for this video! 😘💕 I'm an absolute beginner and I guess I now have something special to give away this Christmas! 🤗

I just wanted to say thank you for this tutorial! I have been trying to learn to knit just to make some simple things (I already crochet, so it's just to complement for things that work better knitted), but O have been struggling. Even watching several other KZfaq tutorials I just didn't understand it. This video made it so easy though! The way you explaining it really worked for my brain and I was instantly like "oh *of course* this is really easy". And now I have knitted a scarf for my son in just a couple of days. :D

Best scarf knitting video I found. I actually made a scarf thanks to this video!! 🙌🏼

ok after I tried the plastic needles THEN I tried my metal chopsticks my grandma laughed loudly. I was like "Oh God"

Hi haven’t been on ytube in awhile because I’m now knitting yay 😀 after crocheting for ever I never thought I could knit I did watch your videos library on cast on knit stitch purl stockinette they are so helpful for all interested I learned all these from your videos especially cast on which I think is hardest to learn. I wondering if you could show how to do a kfb I cannot seem to get that at all😊 I love the scarf the colors look fall and spring like💕

Thank you for posting this! As soon as my new knitting needles come in I'm gonna start knitting a scarf!

I made my first knitting project with this video, thank you so much!

Thanks Jennifer! I love crochet but I also wanted to work on my knitting. I struggle with it more then I ever did with crochet! I do want to overcome it and learn I really like the finished look of it all. Thanks for teaching this!

Hi Jennifer, thank you so much i got it😃. Wish u a nice weekend

Great tutorial! I'm a first time knitter and your video helped a lot! Your directions were very easy to catch. Thank you! :)

I have crocheted pretty regularly for a couple of years now. I kind of want to try knitting again. I love your crochet videos so may try to teach myself to knit. Crochet came much easier for some but it would be nice to learn both.

im a 14 year old guy who’s nan has just passed. when i went to her house to grab a few things i would like, i decided to get some knitting needles and wool. she loved her knitting and i know if i learned how to knit too it would make her proud. rip nanny debra 30/7/22 🤍🕊

I've got all knitting needls from my grandma ( plastic and aluminium), but i can't knitt. I hope your video can help me.😟. I love crocheting.

Thank you! Now I can attempt to make the 4th Doctor's Scarf.

Thank you. I have knitted before but it's been over ten years. This is a perfect vid to remind me of what to do.

Thank you so much for this video. I had a very difficult time figuring this out, but I just needed to rewatch and really pay attention. You made it easy to understand.

Omg I have the same metal needles! TWINSIES! Also, this vid was really helpful,so thank you!!!

Did anyone else end up with more loops I started with 25 but now I have 31 ? I’m very confused as to what I did wrong

Thanks! I just needed a refresher and you have a wonderful teaching voice, and style.

I love the smooth feel of plastic and bamboo knitting needles, nothing compares.

I dont have needles but i used chopsticks XD

I absolutely love this project and will do it. The yarn is on order now! What I’d like to know, though, is how you managed to have the colors change so evenly and not in the middle of a row?

I'm autistic I have adhd and this really helped I've watched this about 20 times 😊❤

Thank you for your wonderful video! You have a pleasant voice and a warm and friendly demeanor. I'm looking forward to trying this project out during my winter break and then coming back for more. Well done!

Years ago, I made my friend the 4th Doctor's scarf from the show Doctor Who. I used these techniques, and it was so easy to do 💖

I think that if your trying to find the best needles, use the Bamboo ones. They work well and she is right when she says that they don’t slip. I just recommend the Bamboo

thank you so much omg. i learned to crochet with my grandmother! going to college soon away in nyc and wanted to learn how to do stuff :)

Thank you so much for this video! I'm trying to learn how to knit for a school play and I was getting frustrated, but your video helped a lot.

Me getting lost on the second step 😭😭

Hi!! I’m now knitting my first project ever thanks to this video!! What would you recommend for the next project for a beginner?

I have been struggling with crochet.... and i decided to try knitting and oh my gosh you made it so easy to follow. Thank you so much ❤❤❤

This is great! I have never knitted something before but i wanted an aesthetic thing that i can claim that i made myself so i decided to knit. Now I’m gonna start! Thank you so much for the instructions!

I have those needles! Yeah, they are still at Joann's for about $5! 😉

You should do more knitting videos for absolute beginners

Wow!! Ur teaching method really WORKS for me!! I'm totally learning how to knit--- on KZfaq! Thanks a million!! I'm doing this!

This was extremely helpful. Thank you!

How long did it take you to knit this? (its gorgeous btw)

It started as a blanket then turned into a bib for babies and now it looks like a sock

I’ve never seen wool like this in different colours! Love it!

This is an awesome video. Excellent clear instructions and such a great simple project for a beginner. I love it 😊

Im watching this so i can knit with my super-noodles.

Im a beginner and i found this helpful, i knitted a hat lol

Hey I am an absolute beginner and I made a scarf like yours after get inspiration from your video. The colour scheme of mine is a little different. It's bright purple, royal blue, shocking pink, bright Pink, tea pink and margined with baby pink. It's length is 5th 6 inches and width is 10 inches. It took me 1 month to complete it but it came out amazing. I used 4mm knitting needles and medium sized yarn 🧶. Thanks a lot for inspiration and guidelines . I made it as a gift for my younger sister. She loved it too. I know it's very late but thanks a lot.

So therapeutic,i could watch all day👌🏼💯

This is awesome. =) I actually was able to get my first row and cast on successfully. I'll do the rest of the steps when I get home but I am super excited to have that basis to start with. I feel that it will be easy to follow your videos. =D I really wanted to make my mom a scarf so this will be how I learn to do so.

You know im only 12 years old and my dad past away a week ago and he taught me how to knit because my mom was at work every day and i only see her on Saturdays because she works night shift and day shift everyday on Saturdays she's free even on Sundays she works she was at home for 2 days for the funeral and then she had to start working again every time my father taught me I didn't get it right so now that I'm watching this KZfaq tutorial I finally understand how to knit , I miss my father😢

Me right now literaly raaaggiinggg cuse i can't do it i just can't im 11 my mom and dad are like you will not be able to learn other stuff and me bee like '' WHAT DID YOU SAY?'' 😄

I can figure out the cast on and stuff, but then I get lost on the actual 🧶 knitting

Definitely I am extremely excited. Finally I could make the first knot!!!!!!!!!

This is great! It's easy to follow. I just finished a scarf for my boyfriend. ( My first knitting project in five years) Thanks! I'll be waiting IMpatiently for your next knitting tutorial :)

Forsome reason whenever I try to knit the first 'real' row, everything just unravels when I try to pull the stitches from one needle to the other - I make *sure* i have the loop with me, but just...nothing happens :/ Maybe I should just go back to crocheting... it's easier... XD (to me, at least)

How do I keep adding stitches to each line. I'm going slow and watching closely but still keep adding

Omg I love you! You are such a good teacher! I bought an expensive book which was supposedly for beginners and it made me want to weep out of frustration!

This was a great tutorial. It is very easy to follow. Thank you!

no matter how may times i watch it i cant understand how to catch the knot because i cant see what youre doing properly. Where in the stitch do i place the needle? what am i catching because the minute i try and draw back out the pitiful loop ive made with the working yarn just comes apart.... aghhhhhh
