About this course

This course teaches hand knitting from absolute zero through your first wearable garment. You will master the long-tail cast-on, the knit and purl stitches, and how they combine into stockinette, garter, ribbing, and seed stitch, then learn to read written patterns and charts, hit a target gauge, shape with increases and decreases, and finish work with blocking, seaming, and clean bind-offs. Every technique is paired with the underlying reason it works so your knitting is consistent and your fit is predictable rather than lucky.
