The best way to
learn to knit is to have someone sitting with you to demonstrate as
you learn. However, in reality you have to practice until your
knitting becomes automatic and your stitches are even. This is when a
reference guide can be most helpful; one with illustrations and
written instructions.
The PDF file Learn to Knit reference is an
excerpt from a vintage knitting book with very clear illustrations and
instructions designed for a beginner knitter.
The reference
covers:
* Casting On
* Knitting Garter Stitch
* Purl
* Stockinette Stitch
* Ribbing
* Binding Off
* Measure and Adjust Gauge
* Slip a Stitch
* Decrease
* Increase
* Join Yarns
* Pick Up Dropped Stitches
* Use Markers
* Block or Steam
* Sew Seams
* Abbreviations
