I hope you will follow my knitting instructions. Let's start with some basic patterns.

You could sell your creations online, as well as in your local clothing and department stores. Now count the stitches to make sure you haven't dropped any and turn the work around putting the knitting needle with the stitches on in your left hand to start the next row. All knitting instructions use basically two stitches, the knit stitch and the purl stitch.

During knitting, the active stitches are secured mechanically, either from individual hooks (in knitting machines) or from a knitting needle or frame in hand-knitting. One of the earliest known examples of knitting was finely decorated cotton socks found in Egypt in the end of the first millennium AD. Plants used for fibers include cotton, flax (for linen), bamboo, ramie, hemp, jute, nettle, raffia, yucca, coconut husk, banana trees, soy and corn.

You also will usually want to stick with chunky yarns (this is a good use for "novelty" yarns, which have lots of texture and are usually thick but also light and fluffy), since they knit up quickly so you can make more presents. Most new knitters should start with some of the basic patterns listed above and work on mastering basic stitches.
