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
