As far as he was concerned, balls of yarn had an entirely different purpose from knitting socks and jumpers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Bim, leave that yarn alone! We&#8217;re trying to have a knitting lesson here,&#8221; Maimu scolded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bim made no promises. \ud83d\udc08<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s how our little knitting school begins, with Grandma showing you how to cast on stitches, knit ribbing, cast off your work and eventually even master double-pointed needles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knitting begins with two needles and a ball of yarn. Well, and a little patience too, because those stitches don&#8217;t always stay on the needles where they&#8217;re supposed to, especially at first. \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the years, I&#8217;ve made a few knitting tutorials for my YouTube channel. Now I&#8217;ve decided to bring them together in one place, so anyone interested in learning to knit won&#8217;t have to go hunting for them all over the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are four tutorials to help you get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\uddf6 1. Casting On, Knit and Purl Stitches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, we need to cast on our stitches. Then we&#8217;ll learn how to knit and purl. These are the two basic techniques that form the foundation of many knitting patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Vanaema \u00f5petab kuduma                     1.tund- silmade loomine, parem- ja pahempidine silm.\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qa1b7w229TE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\uddf6 2. Knitting Rib Stitch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&#8217;ve mastered knit and purl stitches, you can start combining them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ribbing is often used for the cuffs and edges of socks, gloves, hats and jumpers. It helps knitted items keep their shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2. tund Koome sooniku\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HF9vvkssj_I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\uddf6 3. Casting Off Your Knitting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually, your knitting is finished, but the stitches are still on the needle. You can&#8217;t simply pull the needle out, or all your hard work might unravel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this video, I&#8217;ll show you how to cast off your stitches and give your knitting a neat, finished edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kudumi \u00e4\u00e4re l\u00f5petamine\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H2PSYro6xwE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\uddf6 4. Knitting with Double-Pointed Needles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&#8217;ve got the hang of knitting with two needles, you can try double-pointed needles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At first, working with five needles might feel like a proper tangle of fingers and knitting needles, but with a little practice, you&#8217;ll get the hang of that too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sukavarrastega kudumine\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SL75C2C_4Uw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2764\ufe0f Practice Makes Perfect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t worry if your first stitches are too tight, too loose or completely uneven. Knitting is a skill that improves with practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if something goes wrong, you can always unravel your work and start again. The yarn won&#8217;t complain. I certainly have complained on occasion, but it hasn&#8217;t made the stitches behave any better. \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Happy knitting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pits, Plaan ja Pets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<\/trp-tag>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p data-no-translation>Grandma Maimu got her knitting needles ready, gathered up her balls of yarn and decided it was time to start teaching knitting.
