Let me start by introducing you to the five stitch types that I believe are at the very heart of knitting! I hope you will follow my knitting instructions.
I knit everything through the back loop, the result a twisted stitch which worked wonderfully with the yarn I was using. If you don't have one the you can just place the knitting on a fresh towel. In the simplest knitted fabrics, all of the stitches are knit or purl; these fabrics are denoted as stockinette and reverse stockinette, respectively.
The upper red course is purled into the row below and then is knit, consistent with garter stitch. Before you start with a pattern as a beginner, you should know the basic stitches including the knit stitch and purl stitch. You can find circular knitting needles, double point knitting needles and also single pointed knitting needles made of different materials such as steel, wood or bamboo.
You'll be amazed at how much faster the second, third, and fourth version of the same pattern can be. Most new knitters should start with some of the basic patterns listed above and work on mastering basic stitches.
