I just knit my first few rows. I am an avid crocheter but mostly that is because I'm left-handed and when it came to knitting those that wanted to teach me simply ended up getting frustrated and giving up. Crocheting was easy to self-teach and I mastered it myself and now have many beautiful projects. I wanted to learn knitting though, and so after many years I bought myself a pair of needles, grabbed a ball from my stash, and went to google. I found Hannah. For the first time I cast on with and it made sense. I've made three rows and I just have to say how happy I am! Than you!

Hi Libby, the stitch is the loop of yarn that you've just wrapped around the needle. Pull that loop of yarn back with the needle, the way the needle came, so the new loop of yarn is sitting on the left hand needle as a new stitch. Hope that helps! Happy knitting 🧶

I can't thank you enough for how well you explain the process and how much you've helped me. I am so excited about this new hobby! Thank you! Edit: Oh and this is the only way to hold needles that made sense to me. I'm still a little clumsy in general, and I'm holding the string around my middle finger rather than pinky, but this makes so much more sense to me.

Hi Gabi, for some the one step at a time is much better than a full tutorial. This one gets the first stitch on the needle: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ormjrLZ0ute6pHk.html It includes 3 methods, so you can have a play and see which one works best. Then have a go with the casting on the rest of the stitches. Have a look at the most recent time I did this - the camera angle is slightly different. I start casting on at 4 mins: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLeJeJyeuq7ekmg.html You'll not want to carry on with the whole tutorial in that, but it's a good, clear casting on for you to see close up.

Okay Hannah, I adore and am using your favorite casting on method! It really makes for a beautiful bottom. I’m not a beginner knitter but I needed to refresh. I can’t figure out how to cast off so it looks like the bottom when finished. Any tips or videos to watch would be appreciated.
@KnitWithHannah Ай бұрын
Cast offs that look identical to cast ons are pretty much impossible to find as the yarn and stitches are at different stages of the knit. The top of the stitch is a loop and the base of the stitch is two strands coming together. The best I've found is then one I share in this video which looks more similar because the casting on that I tend to use is bulkier from going behind the stitch: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adZ7ia5-nLyZh2w.html And I have another video with multiple cast off methods, here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qd-qe5BpuqrKeJc.html Happy knitting 🧶

I’ve watched several ‘beginner’ videos and just couldn’t get the hang of it, then I found your one and I can actually make some stitches - Thank You! I keep having a problem with all my stitches falling off the end of the needle though, they’re so slippery. So I’ve stopped after several attempts as it’s frustrating getting so far and then loosing all my work off the needle, I’m going to order wooden needles to see if they are better than the metal ones i’m trying to use! Thanks again, I hope to make a scarf - I’ve crocheted a few, but knitting looks a lot quicker, once its mastered.

I'm so glad this was helpful and got you started, ryiah. This video will help you put the stitches back on the needles if they fall off again: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hc-DZdOktdHdaWg.html The other issue might be that you're knitting a bit loosely, I can help with that here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gcqEdsubrdDPp6M.html But certainly it's a good instinct to find some wood or bamboo needles instead of metal. You'll have more friction on wood or bamboo so it'll be an easier start for you. You'll get there - keep at it! happy knitting! 😍

God you make it look so easy. I find it *extremely* difficult and frustrating to recreate what you're doing, but I'm getting there slowly. Each day I'm a tiny bit better. I can do the cast on now. It all falls apart (literally when I try to knit the first row after the cast on. Everything is too tight and I can't get enough space between the two needles.

Yes. One stitch at a time, one day at a time and you’ll see improvement. Do take a look at the too tight and too loose videos in the beginners help playlist. They’ll help you see which parts of the stitches can get you on track even more. Happy knitting 🧶

So I'm really liking this way of casting on, but I think I've been knitting the cast on, opposed to what I think you're doing (I can't see around the back of the needles to see exactly where your needle is going through). I've just cast on by putting the needle between the two most recent stitches and it looks better. Is that the right way? I feel my other practice pieces worked well by knitting the cast on, but were a tad loose. I hope that makes sense xx
@KnitWithHannah 3 жыл бұрын
yes the knitted cast on can be quite loose, putting the needle between the two previous stitches, as I do here, gives a different look and I find it is a stronger foundation with still a bit of give. Happy knitting!

This will likely lessen as you knit more. You could take another look at the way I hold the yarn in this video, and the Loose Knitting video might help too. But the most helpful thing will be to knit more. Knit lots of small things like bookmarks coasters etc and you’ll find your stitches evening out.

I have had many people try to teach me to crochet since I was a little girl. My mom, both grand mothers, an aunt, 2 friends, and a friend's mother. I just can't seem to get it. My hands cramp and I'm constantly fighting the yarn because it twists in on itself. My question is this, does the yard twist on itself with knitting? I think I would really like to learn, but hubby has gotten frustrated with my buying and getting rid of crochet supplies over and over throughout the years.
@KnitWithHannah Жыл бұрын
I've not come across this but it may be the way you've been taught to hold the yarn. I'd try with a single ball and single pair of needles and see how you go. As I share in this video the Drops Nepal and a pair of 5mm needles will cost you less than £10 (possibly nearer £5) which will give you an answer. Happy knitting! 🧶

Ive been crocheting for 10 years and recently decided to try knitting so I can be more well rounded and this tutorial is great. My only question is do you have to switch needle to your left hand or that only a beginner method?
@KnitWithHannah Жыл бұрын
At the beginning of each row, the empty needle is in the right hand. Switching the needles around means you're not learning to knit in two directions. I know there are likely a very few people who can do that, it's really not a thing, like you're pretty much always working in one direction when crocheting. Happy knitting 🧶

Hello knitters! I am working on a simple knit three, pearl three pattern for a prayer shawl for our church. I was knitting along, and at the end of a row I had 4 pearl stitches. (Cast on was 60 stitches). I counted over and over, and there are 60 stitches, so I didn't add one or lose one. About halfway through the previous row, I had knitted two, then pearled three, etc That is how I wound up with 4 at the end. What is the best way to fix this mistake? I have approximately 20-24 stitches to "fix". When crocheting, I would simply pull out the row and start over. It is a bit more difficult with knitting.

This is a great video! However, I am having issues when I get to the point where I do the knitting stitch(2nd row) . As I move down the line in the 2nd row the stitching gets tighter to the point where I cant even move the needle into the stitch. I tried doing the initial row with giving it some slack, but it still is a problem.

Miss Hannah, do I hold both of my needles like pencils? Also, what is the difference between the knit on cast on and the cable cast on that you were talking about in the comments?
@KnitWithHannah 3 жыл бұрын
I hold the left one from above, so it’s more like holding a trowel. The knitted cast on outs the right needle into the front loop of each stitch to make the next on, but cable cast on goes in between the previous two when making the next stitch. This full playlist of casting on videos shows four so far (they’re mostly videos from the first two months on here, so forgive the nervousness in some of them! 😍)

This will depend on the yarn thickness, the size of needles, and whether you knit tightly, loosely or in the middle.

Hi Hannah, I am making baby blanket, it is simply knitting every odd number row pattern rows or even numbered rows are k8 p8 k4 pattern continues p8 k4 to end of row is p8 end of row is k8. This continues for 12 rows then knitting for rows 13 to 18, repeats 11 times, repeat rows 1-12, k16 rows for border. Bind off, wash and block. I had to unravel a full section of 18 rows😲so do I start with a pattern row or do I begin with knitting row? And should the garter side be facing me or pattern side? Quite the quandry 🤔Maria
@KnitWithHannah 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Maria, I wish I could help but I really need to see the pattern and the knitting together to get a better idea of what you’re facing. And garter stitch is reversible so it’s difficult to say without looking at it to help. The likelihood is that the what looks like garter stitch is the ‘wrong’ side. You’ll see from which side is shown in any pattern photos. If you’d like to be able to count the garter stitch rows this video will help: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5N9eJSAzLWqkas.html. Happy knitting! 🧶
