How to Knit - Absolute Beginner Knitting, Lesson 1 - Even if You're Clueless!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

For anyone who ends up with another loop on each row (youtube isn't showing a reply button on all "linked" comments, thus I can't respond to some individuals... ), you might wrapping the first stitch up and around the needle, creating what looks like two stitches, but in fact, you're seeing 2 legs of the first stitch. Make sure your yarn is under and to the back of your work and the first stitch looks identical to all further stitches. :)

[@myagnatalie1]

is it normal for the yarn that is not on the ball to get shorter

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

myagnatalie1 Yes, it's supposed to

[@myagnatalie1]

ExpressionFiberArts Thank you for answering !

[@alyshajohnson1515]

What size yarn did you use

9 years old and it’s still the best intro to knitting video ever ❤

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Wonderful, thank you! 😍

[@katschrodinger954]

Agreed!

[@MorganJServices]

Slow learner here. I have watched so many times already but you are just TOO CUTE for words. Your videos are so enjoyable to listen to.

[@jessiiplayz2533]

I'm really good at the beginning but when you start to ACTUALLY knit, I'm terrible and I JUST WANNA GIVE UP

[@sadiabegum1099]

***** You're very welcome, hope it goes well

[@frappyfae1335]

Same here lol! so proud of myself now

[@catm.3428]

I CAN DO IT NOW OMG

[@eldritchyarnbeing3295]

6 years ago i began knitting as a way to cope with depression and anxiety, i was super lost with every other tutorial i watched but something about yours made it click for me :) i crochet more nowadays but i still associate your voice with comfort and hopefulness, your patterns and your attitude make me feel so much better on my down days and it means the world to me, thank you so much for all you do💗

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Thank you for the incredibly kind compliment. I appreciate it so much. ♥️

[@ameerashafi2007]

i guess grandmas are actually very talented after i saw this tutorial i can't even get past the first step even though i watched it million times

[@angelinaurquhart2481]

Ameera Shafi I can’t either!!!! But I’m determined

[@angelinaurquhart2481]

Omg my fingers are stuck on dumb!!

[@kokobean5921]

Same! My mom had help me, and I'm 21 T~T

[@KnittinginthePark]

You'll get it!

[@dooshfugga69]

yeah I can't do it this way either! :-P

[@rosemarygriffith26]

This is one of the first ever videos i watched to learn how to knit. You were so cute and funny and positive and encouraging that you truly helped me. You kept me going, honest! I am forever grateful.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Awwww 😍

[@kiacowan2924]

Same. She reminds me of my friend rachel. But the video was definitely vey helpful and didn’t move too fast like some others.

[@jess.0J]

As a lifelong crocheter, knitting has always frustrated me. This was helpful, thank you. Btw, left hand is totally the way to go for us crocheters.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

perfect! ❤️

[@xLeilanixAllenx]

me too! I have been crocheting almost 20 years now but I can't knit to save my life!!!!

[@richardmullins1883]

I've just learned that I'm learning crocheting

[@MuurPortal]

Same here. I've been crocheting for 17 years an have tried countless times to learn knitting w/ no luck. Once I got past casting on, it was a breeze! It takes longer than crochet but is WAY easier and I like the fabric texture much better!

[@sonny1042]

Ok I’m a crocheter and I’m so confused on knitting. Hopefully I can learn from this definitely trying the left hand this time 😂

[@meganhoffman200]

About 5 years ago when I was 11, I learned how to crochet from your videos and have been crocheting ever since then. over the last few years I’ve wanted to learn to knit. I tried a couple times but couldn’t seem to get past the first steps. Thanks to this video, I’m proud to say that I can now knit and it’s all thanks to your super helpful videos! Thank you soooo much for explaining it so well!💕

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Congrats! 🥰

[@StarlightTasnia101]

BY FAR this was the most helpful video i have come across. Now i can actually knit! Thank you for such a helpful video!

[@calebstrange8021]

[@dany.gzz95]

I just want to say, I love your personality! It's so bubbly and light, you really make knitting seem fun, simple and enjoyable!

[@CourtneyJay8]

Thanks so much! My grandma taught me how to knit and crochet when I was little and since she passed I couldnt bring myself to knit without her. Now its been 2 years Im ready to jump back into it but I lost all the skills i had. Your video was amazing

[@kikijaysepton2680]

Good job

[@morganerichardson993]

I first saw your video 9 years ago and every Winter I'm back at it and scrolling on KZbin to find it again. Its the best I ever saw to start knitting, you explained it so well, thank you!

[@marylouhoffman]

I'm a knitter - what, what! Thank you, Chandi I am a beginner. i looked at several videos, but yours was the first that i could actually follow what was being done. Thank you for taking the time to slow it down and really give a step by step. i paused, i rewound, i watched it over and over....and i have recommended it to a friend who also wants to learn. My only continuing problem is getting the yarn wrapped on my hand to create the right tension. I already know how to crochet and that may be causing the problem. hugs!

[@abygalelarkin7501]

This is an excellent video for beginners. I made my very first scarf thanks to this sweet lady. 😄

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Sooo cool!

[@abygalelarkin7501]

Ahhh!!! YAY 😄

[@paulagay4003]

I wanted to say THANK YOU, for the tutorial I finally learned how to knit thanks to you, and I am so happy that I have something so productive to do, especially on the days after my chemo shots, I have found such peace when knitting, and I love your videos, you have the absolute best personality, and enthusiasm, its really motivating! Because of my condition I was really afraid to lose the use of my hands, since gripping was an issue, but a year into my treatments and I am able to use this new skill to increase my dexterity and its so much fun, better then physical therapy!!!! Want to learn how to crochet and of course I am going to be watching your video, thanks again.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

+Paula Gay Thank you for the lovely compliment. I wish you well with your recovery. 💜

[@paulagay4003]

+ExpressionFiberArts Thank you and you are very welcome :)

[@rubyhollender8978]

Thanks so much, I learned to knit from you, I never ever in my life tried knitting. I watched this over and over again for a couple of hours while trying. Now after two years, I have knitted hats, cowls, scarves etc, all because of you. When poeople asked me how I learned to knit, I send them this link.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

This makes my day! Thank you so much! ❤️

[@Gypsiflower]

I watched this when I was in 3rd grade I'm now in 7th and still think you and your video is great and helpful

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

[@tasnimlabib6050]

This is sooo helpful thanks

[@pamelaprokasy7651]

I'm a TRUE beginner and yours is the only video that makes sense to me. THANK YOU! My stitches are too tight, even though I consciously try to keep them loose. What am I doing wrong? Thanks so much for your help.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Practice will help with that! You could try a thinner yarn too or a bigger needle. Also, try less tension on the yarn as it runs through your fingers, so that it stays firm but easily flowing through.

[@pamelaprokasy7651]

Thanks for your quick reply. I'll do my best....

[@MrsAmbMcC]

I had the same problem! ! I found I had to keep restarting my projects because they were impossible to work with they were so tight!! But I just started making squares of nothing just to keep practicing I forgot about any specific project and just started knitting squares and rectangles that I could mess up on and not be too upset if it didn't turn out! It was great practice!

[@obrienmckenna9975]

I have subscribed and can't wait to learn a new stitch,,,weeelll,,,after I'm more comfortable with this video!! Thanks again,,,you are amazing and such a blessing!

[@AbcDef-si3bf]

thanks to you I learn how to knit in 2 days, 2 days ago lol. I'm fully aware that I have a long way to go but I'm excited for the future!

[@alexphan9883]

Cutest knitting tutorial video ever! I just started knitting literally 3 days ago and have watched numerous vids and this one is definitely the easiest one to follow. This might sound a bit odd but one of the reasons why I like your video most is because there's a perfect amount of talking (!). Other videos that I have seen have so much talking and commenting/almost ranting that by the time they start doing the first cast on, I have already fallen asleep. Looking forward to more knitting videos from you!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Oh thanks, Alex! I'll keep that in mind! ;)

[@marthagarrett957]

Thank you, my hands shake & fingers intermittent cramp now. I have not been kniting for almost 1 year. I have forgotten the basicness of knitting. I crochet bed slippers from memory but I want to add to my projects. I had before recieved emails from you in the past. I am not as fast as I use to be. I love watching your videos on Utube. Thank you for your step by step instructions & for repeating each stitch . Thank you for your cheerfulness. Reminding me knitting & Crocheting are relaxing. Have a beautiful day.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

My pleasure! I'm glad you're enjoying our tutorials and emails. Have a fabulous weekend. 🥰

[@tericarter5245]

I have crochet for years and consider myself advanced; but I really wanted to try something new and have envied some knitting patterns and wished I could do them. So, I have tons of yarn to choose from and I picked up a set of needles and watched some "KZbins videos". I have spent hours practicing casting on, knit and purling; but the yarn still felt really awkward and found myself "knitting" tighter and tighter out of frustration. Never one to give up, I've continued to watch more videos hoping to find some clue as to what I was doing wrong. YOU said the magic words, you hold your yarn and use "left-handed" techniques, why????, because you are a crocheter!!! You are the first person in all the videos I watched that tied those two dots together for me. I've always followed the right-hand instructions because I'm right-handed. It's amazing how a tiny thing can make such a HUGE difference! It was like day and night, all of a sudden it felt natural and I felt like I was using needles instead of trying to knit with baseball bats. I guess you never know what will make the difference. Your video made the difference - thank you!

[@ginamiller5890]

I've been crocheting for 38 years and never learned how to knit but your video helped me learn the beginning and now I have to go out and buy needles! LOL Thank you!

[@cherpylatina]

Walmart has great prices for needles

[@celiashen5490]

My local thrift store has needles too. (of course, that's my favorite place in the world.)

[@amyhughett9145]

i ordered needles from Amazon

[@kttiie]

[@sammychan1496]

I JUST bought a "how to" book and my boy friend and I couldn't figure out anything for about an hour!! Your video was so helpful!! I made my very own stretchy thingy!! 😁😁✌️️

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Perfect!

[@melmeldavid]

I love this video. I've watched it at least 12 times. The first little practice project I threw away but after that I have knitted 2 scarfs and find knitting so relaxing. I suggest bamboo needles and larger yarn for beginners.

[@torismith997]

I need to keep my hands busy. I'm going to try to quit smoking. Can't wait to go to the store tomorrow to buy my knitting supplies. Thanks so much for this video. Wish me luck on both fronts :)

[@ashleybrabender312]

Okay you guys, first of all; knitting is something you have to do 90% of it on your own. It's all in how you hold the needles and how much patience you have. Don't be getting pissed at this beautiful woman on your screen because you don't have the drive to figure it out yourself. I watched this video once and practiced myself. Get your heads out of your asses and try a little harder.

[@cruisepaige]

Did it! I have been casting on and making rows of the knit stitch. When my rows look a little prettier, I will try binding off. I feel like a whole new world of projects is opening up to me!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Yay! Nice work!

I guess It might seem out of the norm but I am a home bound Vet who is going to learn to knit and crochet to make my wife's Christmas gift. Would like to know if you could help me figure out what sized and type of needles I would need in order to make a King size bed blanket. I have homespun 5 and 6 bulk yarn that was gifted to me. I can no longer move around like I use to do all of my hobbies are near impossible. This would help me occupie my mind and hopefully do something for my beautiful wife who now works 7 days a week and at home. Maybe you might do a video that might cover how to prepare for a project like this. Thank you very much for your videos and your time! Very Respectfully, bigSQUISHY

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

I have a couple of videos on how to knit and crochet baby blanket. That technique is the same, you just need to make the blankets larger to accommodate whichever size you are doing. The link is kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIKmlHqBr7Csms0&lc=z13zxbiq1ujpydcpx04cebrb1vutt3cwrro0k

If you are interested enough to make a comment and try to do it....you will have a blast when you actually achieve it. Her instructions for long tail are as simple as it gets. So instead of sitting by yourself and fumbling why not find a person at a crafts event that does it and follow them. you find tying a note on a stick with string tough....how did you make it through to life from a child??? no insult intended. s@#$ I had to do it under fire! we built a bridge across a GD river out of rope! edit....I did say river not creek we had to swim the rope across! go find your expert and have a blast, and then brag to the girls about the cable sweater you made from scratch. total coolness. ty for posting, again!!!!

WOW! I actually understand what to do now! I too crochet and always found knitting so difficult because I could never SEE what a person was doing long enough! I wish I had some needles right now! You broke it down on a closeup and explained it perfectly! Thank you so much! I am already picturing how to use knitting and crocheting together! 👏👏👏Bravo! SUBSCRIBED! Now I can clean out all my other useless how to knitting channels from my subscribed list! YES!!!!👍

Thanks, Jan!

I'm learning how to knit and I'm like 12 years old and this is helping me a bit 😊 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

+Generis Grant excellent!

[@generisgrant3413]

Thanks but I'm still having a bit of a hard time when it comes to using the left needle after I've done the first part

[@generisgrant3413]

The 1st part I get...but when I have to put the right needle in the loop, it doesn't come out we'll 😞

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

it takes a little time you can do it!

[@generisgrant3413]

And I try to look carefully and I can't do it

[@kr_herbert]

I've tried to learn to knit by several other tutorials on KZbin, but I have to say, you're the one who teaches in a way that I finally yell out loud, "I get it now!" Thank you so much!

[@elijahwagner9881]

Honestly in my opinion, she's just a really bad teacher. I learned to knit when I was 7 and it was so easy for me. She's too confusing in this tutorial. I suggest just looking for a better teacher.

[@debra5737]

I started it, got the hang of it, then realized that I was somehow knitting with the tail end and also was doing it wrong. There is no force in the world that could possibly teach me how to knit.

[@ameliamassoth8241]

[@jenniferruiz6378]

Horse Squad practices makes perfect

[@moni-ja]

I think, after the part with the slipknot, it should be mentioned that you have to put the tail in front (around your thumb) and the working strand back (around your index finger). This is important, because otherwise, you end up knitting with the tail. But even experienced knitters, sometimes get a little bit confused and start knitting with the tail and have to start from the beginning. ;-)

[@Hippiecat67]

THANK YOU!!! that is where I have been messing up when trying to cast on. I've crocheted for more than 40 years but couldn't find anyone to teach me how to knit. This is a great video that goes slow enough , and you can back it up and watch again. With this info casting on makes sense now, and I learned how to do it.

[@RymVri108]

What a dork, lol. I absolutely LOVED this video, thank you!

[@amandastratton578]

i watched your video. i am an advanced crocheter and my sister loves to knit. i can easily follow your video and keep up with you. thanks to you and my sister i am going to give knitting a try. thank you. keep up the great work.

First i'd like to say, who else felt like throwing the needles and yarn across the room after a few rows? Second, this is an awesome tutorial. I used to be a knitter but I completely forgot. Now I mostly crochet. Third, don't give up. Yes, it is difficult. But after a while, it will get easier. Fourth, first video I have seen from this channel and ExpressionFiberArts is awesome.

U might be doing extra don't worry I did it all the time when I was 8..

it helped getting a bigger needle

[@thepantherpringles8594]

Ok i just did a knitting practice piece. How ever i started with 25 stitches, somehow i ended up with 55 or so. How does that even happen???? I am just learning but wow!! I did not realize my stitches would multiply like that!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

it's amazing! : )

[@TiagoSeiler]

You used male and female needles, that's what happens...

maybe you didn't slip of the stitch after you knit it?

Hi, so I watched this video like 3 days ago, and it inspired me to go out and get some needles and yarn, and now I'm working on a simple scarf! Clear instructions there are so easy to follow, I've literally never knitted before now but I'm getting the hang of it! Thumbs up!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

perfect!

[@corylusbluefox9482]

I couldn't do it after the stitches part

[@litteralydead215]

same here, mine kept getting in knots or simply not working :(

[@Alitasplace]

What worked for me was to put the video is slower speed and just start back again as many times as needed. And with some time I finally got it!! :)

[@AnayaJoy]

Looks like I'll be on my laptop tmrw then.. I need slomo for stitching.

[@Alitasplace]

Yes, give it a shot! :)

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Yay!

[@willieboy8798]

confusing ...and dealing with people we will not get into attitudes, driving and working we wont get into getting people to help us tying a knote, under , over around and through a few times...i guess i should have been a brain doctor instead of making rockets. lloolll i can fee the genius coming on! well guess you folks are right it is tougher than hell....i cant do much of anything with your defeatist attitudes! i think she picked the easiest start there is and she also gives you a good start with the knit stitch and working it...that knot is the start stitch for cabling and flowering and really adding texture to your work. i taught two guys that are more macho than a biker to knit, a Colonel and dozens of others. easy peazy!!!! but ya gotta drop the defeatism! first!

[@aliciag699]

Hi im 12 and i love knitting and i just wanted to say thank u for helping me and is it norml for a 12 year old to knit and like it?

[@aliciag699]

Thanks jennifer

[@ama31004]

Alicia Gardner Yes, it's very normal for you to like knitting. I learned to crochet at the age of 7 and still love it in my 40s. Learning early in life makes you that much better at it as you get older. You will love it all your life.

[@aliciag699]

Thank you Angela_Mom_to_2​

[@montrealstars60]

Alicia Gardner You should be really proud at your age. I think you should keep up the good work and once you get to be a little older, you will realize how important having a hobby can be and it can also turn into a job if you wish too. You can give courses, open your own little yarn shop. You can do volunteer for kids, eldery or in hosp. Your life will be full of joy if you can share your work with others just like our tutors on YT!!!

Congrats!

[@Barbara-jp9kn]

Chandi, I found your video so much more helpful than the class I took at the local fabric store - thank you! Have you done a video on how to correct mistakes? As a beginner, I often find myself needing to un-knit (tink?) back to a mistake, but the whole thing becomes a complete disaster. I'm afraid to start the beginner knitted scarf kit that I ordered from you (beautiful yarn!) until I know how to correct my mistakes properly. Thank you.

We haven't yet. Thanks for the wonderful suggestion!
