Learn to Knit

I’ve shared some great knitting patterns in the past, but what if you don’t know how to knit. Today I’m giving you the opportunity to learn.

From a 1940’s Beginner’s Manual I’ve put together 7 pages that will teach you with illustrations and patterns. Some of the patterns are the Cable Stitch, Basket Weave, Seed Stitch and a couple more.

There is a page on Abbreviations, Gauge, Materials, Winding Wool, Blocking and Washing your work.

Very First Steps

It starts out with the very first steps, How to Cast on Stitches, Casting on with More than One Needle.

To get you going the booklet goes over Plain Knitting or Garter Stitch, Binding Off, Purling, Stockinette Stitch and Ribbing.

 

 

 

When you run into difficulty the page of Beginner’s Problems Solved will help: Joining Yarns, Marker, To Decrease or Narrow, To Increase, Picking Up Stitches, Around Neck and Armholes and Buttonholes.

The patterns can be used to make a large or small afghan. It just depends on the amount of stitches you cast on or if you’d like to make several smaller blocks of the patterns and sew them together.

You’ll find all the instruction you need to get started in this little booklet.
