I needed to set out some basic knitting instructions as a reminder so here it is.

All knitting instructions use fundamentally 2 stitches, the knit stitch and the purl stitch. When you know these 2 knitting necessities you’ll be able to follow most knitting instructions which are just mixtures or variations of these two stitches. Knitting Instructions for the Knit Stitch when you have cast on, hold the knitting needle with the cast on stitches in your left hand. Loop the knitting yarn round the right knitting needle from back to front, letting the knitting yarn rest between the needles.

Catch the knitting yarn on the end on the right knitting needle and pull it thru the 1st stitch to the front of the work. Slip the old stitch off the left needle. The new stitch is now on the right needle. Now you are getting the hang of the knitting instructions. It’s a brilliant idea to keep the knitting yarn thrown over the right forefinger, this keeps it to the back of the work too. Repeat this process till all stitches are on the right knitting needle. This is the 1st row from your knitting instructions. The knitting yarn will look like it is at the front and you will now take it to the back and start the second row of transferring stitches to the empty right needle. Commence with the knitting needle with the cast on stitches in your left hand.

Your knitting yarn will be hanging in front. Push point of right knitting needle into the front of the first stitch from right to left. Wrap the knitting yarn around the top of the right knitting needle, crossing over the two needles and hanging once more in front. Slide the right knitting needle down and back taking the new loop of knitting yarn from front to back, thru the old stitch. Slip the old stitch off the left knitting needle. If you have followed the knitting instructions you presently have a stitch in purl on the right knitting needle and the yarn is hanging, once more, in the front. Repeat this process till all stitches are on the right knitting needle.

Now count the stitches to make certain you have not dropped any and turn the work around putting the knitting needle with the stitches on in your left hand to start the subsequent row. I’m hoping you might follow these basic knitting instructions.
