The KNIT STITCH for Total Beginners

/// HOW TO KNIT: A FREE BEGINNER SERIES /// Check out the full series: The knit stitch is the most basic and fundamental stitch in knitting. After all, it’s the namesake of the craft we’re learning. Master the knit stitch and you, my friend, are a bonafide knitter! In this video, I’ll walk you through the knit stitch. Like most skills, knitting takes time to perfect. You probably won’t get the hang of it on your first try. You probably won’t even get it on your second try. The important thing is to keep trying. Why? You’ve heard the concept of “muscle memory,” right? It’s the idea that the more you repeat a movement, the more it becomes second nature. Because the movement is controlled by your subconscious mind instead of your conscious mind, you don’t need to think through each step of a movement. Without thinking, you can just do it. That’s muscle memory! So, don’t fret if you don’t get the knit stitch right away.
