Learning How To Knit

Learning how to knit is easy to knit with a SpinCraft Knitting Pattern, because our patterns are so fun and clearly written. We take Learning How To Knit to a whole new dimension with our Knit-so-it-Fits directions. 

SpinCraft Patterns focuses on making an interesting shape with knitting stitches. You can learn as slow or as fast as you want, and come up with pieces that really fit while you are learning how to knit. For an easy knitting pattern I would like to suggest our Poncho, Navajo Vest, No Measure Hats, and Sure To Fit Sweater. You will love being able to make something simple that really fits!

If you are looking for left handed knitting may we recommend: learn-to-knit.com. This site has clear illustrations and teaches both left handed knitting stitches, and right handed techniques. You will also find instructions for purl stitch, and basic stitch patterns.

Once you learn your basic stitches youll be ready to start knitting on a project from SpinCraft Knitting Patterns. Believe it or not, even the most intricate knitting is barely more than combinations of knit and purl stitches (with a couple of decreases and increases added here and there).

For information on increasing, decreasing, lace and cable knitting, and also knitting abbreviations, terms, instructions and the history of knitting go to: knitknitting.com.

Please take a look through the SpinCraft Patterns online shopping cart. You can sort all patterns by skill level and find something great for the beginning knitter.

After youve had your first success, learning how to knit with our designs, please try our many other patterns for hats, scarves, sweaters, vests and more. You can also download all the patterns straight into your computer. Please bookmark the spincraftpatterns.com site after you get there, so you can come again and again.
