With this video, I wanted to create the ultimate resource for learning how to knit for beginners - step by step and going slowly. A resource, I wish I had when I was a beginner. I tried to pour in everything I know about the best way to start knitting with all those little details that make all the difference. You will learn how to cast on, how to knit the knit stitch, how to purl, and how to finish your knitting - all in one big tutorial. I also included slow-motion sections for all these basic techniques so you can really knit along + alternative ways or improved ways to knit.
