Learning Your Basics

I was asked to help out some brand new knitters, so I designed these smaller-than-average dishcloths to teach them the basics. Nothing mind blowingly awesome about them, just some basic stitches and somewhat decent instructions (I hope! Let me know!) for new knitters.

As you begin, use some youtube videos to help guide how you hold your needles, & keep tension on your yarn. It’s just a dishcloth so don’t worry about mistakes. Focus on your technique and building good habits & muscle memory from the beginning. Get a feel for what your stitches look like on the side you’re working and the opposite side.
