HOW-TO INSTRUCTIONS
Learn To Knit
Casting On
Before you can start casting on you need to make a loop. Take the yarn from the centre of the ball as this stops the yarn rolling about when you are knitting. (For the thumb method you will need to leave a length of yarn roughly 6 times as long as the width of your intended piece of knitting).
Hold the loose end of the yarn in your left hand and the needle in your right hand.
Form a loop with the left thumb by placing the thumb under the yarn from behind and then move the thumb upwards to form a loop.
Place the loop on the needle and keeping the left thumb in place, use the yarn from the ball in your right hand, to wind yarn round needle clockwise.
Lift loop over needle and remove thumb. Pull left-hand yarn tight.
Continue until you have sufficient stitches.
Knit Stitch
"Knit 1" is often abbreviated as "K1" on a knitting pattern.
Insert needle into front of the stitch on the left-hand needle, then wind yarn round the right-hand needle.
Pull the yarn through the stitch,
then slip the original stitch off the left-hand needle. One stitch has now been knitted.
To knit into back of a stitch - also called "KB1"
This method is used to create a twisted rib effect, as well as some textured stitch patterns. Insert needle into back of the stitch on the left-hand needle.
Then follow the instructions for how to knit a stitch from using diagrams below
Purl Stitch

Insert needle into front of next stitch on left-hand needle from right to left.
Wind yarn round the right-hand needle anticlockwise (see arrow).

One stitch has now been purled.
