This is such a great tutorial for beginners! I've come through a lot of other videos and got really overwhelmed with the pace and lack of clarity but you explain everything so slowly and precisely that I got it the first try! Thank you so much, you're an amazing teacher! ❤
I’m constantly amazed at the thumbs down!! I get them too, but good gravy! This is a great video! Shouldn’t have gotten even one thumbs down. Some folks are just jealous I guess!
Agreed. Even if they didn't agree with all of the techniques shown (or whatever), someone went out of their way (in many cases) to design something nice and take the time to share it with us. If they don't appreciate that, they should just move on.
I crochet. This was actually interesting to watch and I understood it very well. I might have another new hobby.
ditto!
I really like how she explains things so thoroughly, and how easy the project is. This is a great first knitting project to do!
You caught me pulling! I've been worried that my last stitch was so loose, but I'm pushing on. I'm sure if I keep up the practice, it will get better.
This was a great video! Thanks!
My first knitting project! Loved the video. Great instructions and easy to follow. Love my scarf.
I have been crocheting for years but never knitted before. Great tutorial and totally doable. I also listen to audio books while I crochet and smiled when you mentioned that.
Ty soo much! I’m only young and I’ve found all the other tutorials to hard to understand but with I few tries of this tutorial I actually can knit ty am much!

I cannot tell you how grateful I am that I found your channel! I'm a visual learner so you've made it SO much easier! THANK YOU :)
I've been crocheting since October and now knitting has caught my attention. This scarf seems like the perfect project to start with
I was use to crocheting.. this was my first time knitting and I made this scarf with the same color . I just finished it . Thank you so much for the easy step by step instructions!!!! I love knitting 😁😁
I first learned knitting many years ago (my mother taught me basic knitting when I was still a child); but somehow had trouble with crocheting. I used to often drop stitches on the ends of my projects, because with crochet the edges were sort of "rounded off" (maybe I forgot to "chain up" for the next row?); and it was hard to tell where the rows began and ended--whereas with knitting, all of the stitches are right there on the needle, easily countable and not-so-easily lost (well, unless they accidentally slip off the tip, which is aggravating; but I digress).
But now as an adult, I recognize that crocheting is *Sooooo* Much Faster!! Plus only working with the one short(er) needle (and just one, or a few stitches at a time), crocheted projects are much easier to shape (for non-rectangular designs); and for larger projects such as afghans. In my experience, the only real advantage knitting has over crochet is that the resulting fabric is more elastic, with a tighter "weave" that is more difficult to obtain with crochet.
My mother's favorite project was a chevron-patterned afghan that she used to crochet as gifts for friends and family. I'm here because I want to get back into both knitting and crocheting; and hopefully get past the long-standing "roadblocks" (like misshapen purl stitches) that have been holding me back from completing all but the simplest designed projects.
This is the best knitting instruction video I have seen yet. I totally understood it. Thank you!
I actually tried knitting first before crocheting, and I keep doing my knit so tight, not to mention the needle I used wasn't really good in quality, so I gave up and moved on to crocheting. But the result of knitting is really good though, so I might try again someday with this tutorial 😂
I have recently learned how to knit and I have tried a couple of different ways and there is a titular video that says "continental knitting is for crocheters", you could get a lot of good help there. Also learn how to English purl for those vast rows where you have to purl all the way back over. There is also one video I found that shows how to "reverse knit", which is a good imitation of a purl, that according to master knitter Roxanne on let's purl together channel, whose video it is, "it does not replace a true purl where a purl is called for in particular pattern designs but it will do well for those vast spanses that called for you to purl". In case you're wondering why I'm picking on the purl... purling is knitting the back side of a knit stitch from the front so that it looks like the back. Purl is the back side of a knit stitch, only you're doing it from the front facing it on the back side of your work because you have knit down one stick and now you have to do the other side. Many basic just the Norwegian purl but it's a lot of winding around and it's hard to do and you can loose your tension and have wonky spaces between your stitches that change. Believe me it is possible to learn how to purl stitch incontinental style by employing your thumb rather than your middle finger the way most people will show, I have seen Russian women do it while crocheting cotton and all in a traditional way instead of the Russian way which changes the orientation of your stitches to Eastern instead of Western. I have found that if I Russian purl I also have to do the Russian "grandma way" of knitting on the back side of my needles - which is not a problem. Just different than the typical way anyone in North America would teach. If you do regular continental knit stitch the right leg of the loop is always in front of the stick/needle which is Western: If you do Russian purl, it changes the orientation and puts the left leg forward, which is Eastern... which is why you have to do the knit stitch on the back of your needles. This is the easiest kind of knitting in the world! The way you do each stitch Enters the right hand side of the loop and is mirrored by the way you do the opposite stitch and the coolest thing about it is when you do whichever stitch it rotates the orientation from east to west And so it's always the way it should be. This probably changes if you're doing a rib stitch but with whichever orientation you are working on in your following row you always must work whatever type of stitch according to the orientation that it is in at the moment in the way it was work before you can switch from Eastern to Western as long as you always remember that. And none of this may make sense if you've never done any of the things that I've described here but you will understand it if you do.
Could job loved how you explained the way of knitting I bet none can go wrong
Love your instructions! I've watched other videos, and how to cast on. I'm not sure I understand the purpose of a long tail cast on. I am a brand new knitter. For now, I am on my first scarf. I like the way you explain the process. Thank you.
I used to love Lionbrand Color Made Easy.
It was a very easy yarn to work with. It was a very thick worsted weight acrylic yarn
Very good video to help you begin with knitting!
I went through like 100 videos and this is the best one ive seen! and im not using sound!
Very nice tutorial I am new to knitting and this was very helpful Thank you very much
This is the best knitting tutorial

My scarf is going to be small for only test to see how it would look when I want to knit mine so keep it up I really learned from you because my friends at school didn't want to teach me so thank you very much I really appreciate.🤗👏
I made my first infinity scarf, thanks for your help!
I havent even try knitting i find it so difficult but with the way you teach in this video it looks easy..maybe i will give it a try hahaha thank uuu
Found your channel and now I’m determined to create my own projects!
i love your channel thank u to teaching me lots of love to your channel
Goodness!!!you are so good.. one of the best tutorial!!!👍
Beautiful work
I obviously crochet but I really want to learn knitting too. I was able to follow your tutorial but my "scarf" looks like something I'd call a Barf but I think my yarn sucks and my hand-me-down metal knitting needles aren't helping. The splitty yarn doesn't love the super pointy needles. I will try again with this tutorial though ☺. Back to my Sewrella crochet poncho!
Thank you! You are amazing at teaching and your video made me decide on starting to knit. Love from Brazil
I found this extremely helpful! I have officially learned how to knit :D wuhuu, thank you
Just saw this video and it is the least intricate one I have seen. Really good for beginners.
I tried puling out the middle of my yarn just like you, to be cool, I just pulled too much and made a tangled mess, I had to cut the yarn few times to detangle it haha
Thank you for this tutorial!
this is very helpful... I've been crocheting for so long now and I really wanted to learn how to knit... since I wanna try making knitted projects...😍
I’m pretty new at knitting and this was very helpful. I’ve been making a scarf and I see my ends and how uneven they are. I realized what I did wrong with your help, thank you!
Seus trabalhos são incríveis, parabéns!!!
I love your video thank you I appreciate it. God bless you.
It's very simple & easy!
I'm just learning how to knit. Your instructions are very plain, clear and easy to follow. I have crocheted for many years and my biggest problem is that I crochet tight. I have started this project many times over and endeavoring to make myself stitch not so tight. I'm getting there. Now I am wondering, while going over the pattern. When I knit one do I loop over or do I loop under like you do, or does it make a difference? Thanks so much for all the patterns. I have made the slouchy beanie with puff stitch and it was very fun project. Thanks again!
Your a good instructor
I crochet 🧶 but never got the knitting’s down
With your video
I may be on my way to learning ( knitting)
Awkward holding needles at first definitely
Great job my friend. TFS. Stay connected 😊
Pretty ♥️ I hope will do one in crochet soon.
GREAT! My mum told me to knit a black infinity scarf this week for the holidays and omg I think I will make it this way!

Is this yarn soft. Never seen it. Looks nice and soft!
Every big journey starts with the one little step so...today I grabbed my needles and made a one row. I was excited. Thank you for sharing this easy to understand and follow instruction. 💜
Thank you
Omg the best tutorial ever thank you so much
very well explained 🙏
great tutorial but I don't know why I get a big gap between the 2 needles, so for each new stich the gap gets wider and it ends up getting in the way. Why do you think this is happening? thanks a lot!
This tutorial is very informative I really like it
Thx for explaining so well. 👍😁
What if there is a thread hanging between my needles ?
Same with me 😭😭
Just continue till you reach the end
Hello sewrella cozy 🧣 awesome 💖
Hi could you please also describe the type of yarn needed for this? That would be helpful
What about the length of the knitting needles? How do you decide that? I know the all in one kit already has that decided but I'm curious to know in case I get some separately.
Pls check our website for yarn bowls: www.etsy.com/listing/925816197/handpainted-poppy-yarn-bowlknitting?ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1
That was my question also. Needles are Sz 9 mm but what is the length?.8 inches? 10 inches? 12 inches?? someone, anyone know??
@@Gagazoot I still haven't found out. :/
@@Gagazoot Standard lengths on straight needles are 10" for the short and 14" for the long. If you're using metal or plastic, try to get a contrasting color to your yarn (knitting dark blue yarn on dark blue or black needles, for instance, can make things more difficult).
@@Gagazoot P.S. and circular needles usually come in 16" and 29".
Can I knit a scarf with different yarn and different size needles?
Thank you !!
Can you make a video for the Betty sweater and show us how to do a divide pretty please????
is that bulky yarn you're using or medium?? I'm a new beginner trying to learn. how to knit. What type of yarn should I use for cowl scarf?
Thank you, nice and beautiful.
i have a problem where the distance between two needles is constantly growing and I have longer and longer piece of wool between needles, any tips?
I really want to learn how to knit a scarf because of Hinata from naruto🥺💜
Thankyou so much for this 💜💜💜
Thanks I’m trying your technique out I’m doing a Christmas themed scarf
I'm using my chopsticks and I made my knots pretty pretty tight 😅😅. I'm knitting for the first time but I have experience with crocheting.
how long should it take to knit a scarf? I mean I'm a beginner and I started about three months ago a scarf and it's still not done. does anyone have any tips for how I can knit faster?
What size needles and yarn type are you using?
@@nostalkingzone 3.5 needle size and my yarn is the same size as the yarn in the video
@@anilorac8233 3.5, _what_ ? That sounds pretty small. I mostly use straight needles; and a 5.0 is size 8; 6.0 (mm) is size 10 (for instance). Here, I believe she's recommending a size 13 (these are U.S. measurements); which is 9 mm. Look on the "cap" (stop) end: they should be marked.
I can get the loops on the other needle
Please tell how many grams of yarn you have used in this project. ?
Welcome back!
I know how to knit but I'm still learning and l knit with Robin yarn and 4mm cat emoji metal knitting needles
4mm? Isn't that a size 6?
What is the thickness of the yarn?
How many balls of yarn were used to finish this?...
How many yarn do I need to use?
How to mix different colors in to one scarf
I can get the first needle loaded up, but I cannot actually knit to save my life and I agreed to knit my friend a scarf because she is going to Poland over Christmas and she is going to be so cold!!!!!
What is the length of those knitting needles please? I heard you say 9mm for the needles, but the plastic length is needed please. Thank you!
Since the project is only 8" wide, the length really isn't important. I'm thinking 16" for "circular needles" would be plenty. I would probably just use 10" straight needles in wood, plastic or metal.
❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
I love you.
Where do I get the kit ?
Knitting experience
Please guide me to buy this yarn I like this type of yarn but I cannot found live in Pakistan
Why do you slip off the first stitch ? What if you forget ?
What length would be for a children length ?
Wow gd instructor
What do i do if one side looks fine but the other side looks really messy?
Hi!
I was wondering how long does a scarf have to be? I am knitting a scarf that is about 30 inches
It should be at least twice that long for a regular scarf. I thought she said 70"; which is almost six feet.
If you have a thirty-inch rectangular piece, you could adapt it into a neck-warmer (not sure what they're called, but they can be worn tucked inside a coat for a "sweater" effect). Wrap it around neck (careful not to twist), folding the top edge back along the top back of neck and inside edges; then bringing the short edges even in the front, overlap them and knit-sew them together. I've seen these on Pinterest, with added coat-style buttons as decoration ("mock-button"); or real-working buttons, if you have the knitting skill to make buttonholes.
I'm thinking though that you might need a few more inches on the length of your project even for this. But it's an alternative if you didn't want to spend that much time knitting; or have run short on yarn.
@@nostalkingzone okay thanks just finished my scarf at 65 inches
@@jiminsinvisiblejams5993 Wow, that's great!! Congratulations!! =)
What colors did use
Can I use stockinette stitch for the infinity scarf?
You *Can*; but be aware of this: Stockinette "curls" at the sides. :( Also it's a lot thinner than the garter stitch (the alternately-spaced "ribs" on both sides of the garter stitch seem to act as insulation).
To make it in stockinette, you might want to knit it twice as wide, plus a seam allowance; and then when you are finished fold it over lengthwise ("right" knit sides together), sew it lengthwise (and on one end), turn it right-side out and then finish the end (i.e., make it double-layer). It's a lot of hassle; but otherwise you may have a curling "tube" of knitting that refuses to lay flat.
Another thing you can try is to knit garter stitch for a small "border" on each side and on both ends, to help it to lay flat. As you might have deduced, however, either of these solutions sort of makes the scarf into a different, more advanced project than the one presented here. My problem with stockinette is that my purl stitches are looser than I'd like (and uneven on one side) than my regular knit stitches; but your mileage may vary.
I think this is why most scarf patterns I've seen are either garter stitch or use a "ribbed" pattern (reverse stockinette stitch; or 2-stitch rib). I once made a 4-stitch rib scarf that turned out delightfully soft, warm and "elastic" (after all, that's why rib stitches are often used at the sleeves, waist and necklines of sweaters!); but I wound up having to add almost an extra third to the stitch count to compensate for the "pulling in" effect. :) Of course it was more challenging and took longer to complete than this project demonstrated here; but the softness, extra warmth and more finished-looking results were quite satisfying. :)

I have 3.75mm needles. Can i use them for this project?
You can use any needle or yarn you just need to look at the packaging of the yarn to see what needles are needed
What's crazy is I learned pearl first, so surprisingly this is harder for me to do. Lol
Ndaraja Dejesus wow! I’m the opposite lol I can’t wrap my head around purling.
why are my needles so much smaller than what's pictured in the video? Please help.
What size is printed on them? Maybe you have a size 9 (5.5 mm) instead of size 13 (9 _mm_ )? :)
What's the colour name please?
Beautifulnice
OMG THIS IS SOO HARRD ( that after 6 minutes my hands started to ake ) I DID IT WRONG TOO
thank you for your video. I'd like to make profit from doing and making projects just like yours :) How can I make sales on these beautiful projects? :)
I'm having problems with the passing. It's because I'm using plastic needless
