Take a tour of our How To Knit course:

Essential Knowhow explains the knitting basics, how to hold your needles, what a typical knitting pattern looks like, and why tension is important in making wearables to the right size.

If you’ve never knitted before you can begin from scratch with the key stitches in our Get started! section – or if you knit already, just remind yourself of some fundamentals. From knit and purl to changing colours for stripes, you’ll find everything you need to knit one of the easy patterns included in this section.

In Next Steps, we’ve included techniques to take your knitting up a notch, including the best ways for shaping, to neat ways to finish off, transforming your work into that adorable toy or gorgeous garment. Choose one of our improver patterns or take your pick from our fantastic pattern library.

Whatever your ability, mishaps can happen, so avoid the most common pitfalls and see how to fix mistakes with our handy Troubleshooting videos. It’s worth a watch, even before you pick up your needles!

You can also access our fantastic collection of printable Knit School downloads that cover plenty of other techniques. If you’d like to see any of these techniques demonstrated, let us know and we’ll add the most popular ones as videos.
