The Basics includes 3 learn-to-knit projects, all meant to be done in sequential order so that you learn a new technique in each one (you start with a basic knit scarf, then you make a rib scarf, and then there’s an infinity cowl!). Video tutorials are provided for each technique used in each pattern.

Each pattern is written for 3 different yarn weights (DK, Worsted or Bulky).
