b. Create a knitted product.
c. Appreciate the value of knitting.
TEACHING POINTS
Blankets, scarves, sweaters, gloves, stuffed animals—there’s virtually no limit to what you can make with some yarn and a pair of needles. When it comes to knitting, once you’ve got the basics down, the only limit is your imagination (and maybe the occasional hand cramp). So we’re here to show you just that! We’ll guide you through casting on, knitting a row, and casting off, plus a few other handy stitches to get you started on your knitting journey.
TEACHNING INPUTS
Knitting is the process of making a textile by connecting loops or stitches of one continuous thread using large needles. A textile is a fabric made by interlacing threads made of natural or synthetic fibers
Knitting is as Simple as 1, 2, 3
Knitting boils down to three essential skills. These are the cast on, knit stitch, and the cast off. These three techniques make up the backbone of knitting. Master them and you’re officially a knitter. It’s that simple!
1.CAST ON
The adventure begins! Transform loose yarn into neat stitches.
2.KNIT STITCH
This simple stitch makes up the backbone of knitting.
3.CAST OFF
Get your knitting off the needles so you can wear it out and proud!
Tools and materials needed
1. Yarn
2. Knitting needle
3. Scissors
4. Stitching marker
BASIC STEPS TO START IN KNITTING
Leave a generous yarn tail & pinch yarn with both hands
Hold the yarn and bring the hands together to make a loop
Hold the loop that you have made in one hand
Grab the yarn that’s unattached to the ball & bring it behind the loop
Pull the strand of yarn through the loop
This little loop is called a slipknot. Your’re ready to cast on with it!
Place a slipknot on the needle and pull yarn tails to tighten
Grab the short yarn tail and give a thumbs up
Swing the thumb behind the yarn
Hook the yarn onto your thumb. Keep a firm grip!
Touch the needle to the front of the thumb…
…and slide the needle into the loop on your thumb
Hold the needle & grab the yarn attached to the ball with right hand
Wrap the yarn around the needle, from the back to the front
Pull down the yarn so it meets the loop on the thumb
Pull the loop on your thumb over the needle.
Place the loop on the needle
Pull down the yarn tail to tighten the new stitch! Repeat steps 2-12
