Step By Step
Materials
- Any size Knitting Needles (we recommend size 5-8 for beginners)
- Any Yarn (we recommend DK Herbal Dyed yarn for beginners)
Step 1
Similar to how you started the knit stitch, hold the needle with the stitches in your left hand. In your right hand, hold the empty needle and the strand connected to the ball of yarn.
Step 2
Carefully insert the right needle into the first stitch across the front, from the right to the left.
Step 3
Wrap the working yarn around the front needle counter-clockwise.
Step 4
Keeping the wrapped stitch around the right needle, scoop the right needle away from you through the stitch on the left needle.
Step 5
Holding the stitch on your right needle, slide the stitch just worked off the left needle.
Steps 6-9
Repeat steps 2-5 for each stitch on the left needle, across the row.
When you finish, each stitch that was once on your left needle will now be on your right needle. To continue in stockinette stitch, alternate knit and purl rows!
Note
When you finish, each stitch that was once on your left needle will now be on your right needle. To continue in stockinette stitch, alternate knit and purl rows!
