Learning to knit doesn’t start with the first stitch.
It starts with the right foundation.
Most beginners give up because they’re set up with chunky yarn, giant needles, or dark, fuzzy yarn that hides the stitches. It feels impossible.
Here’s what actually works:
✅ DK yarn (medium weight)
✅ 4mm needles
✅ Smooth, light-coloured yarn
✅ A pair of scissors and a darning needle
That simple toolkit makes your stitches clearer, easier to control, and gives you the confidence to keep going.
In the next video, I’ll explain why why “clumsy” hands are a good sign — and how practice creates the rhythm that makes you a knitter.
