General Tutorials
If you are looking for general help on the internet I always recommend the following two resources to new knitters:
: All the basics with great videos and photos!
: I usually just google whatever I’m searching for (ex. “knit 2 together”) and “very pink knits” and the right video pops up!
(for KIDS): covers casting on, knitting & binding off. starts with purling and moves into stitches combining knit & purl.
