Knit Tutorial:The Knit Stitch

Hi everyone, I'm back again with another explanation on how to do the knit stitch. I have post the video for the youtube video if you need an explination. Just find it under my videos to the right or do it by going here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a6uP2VvFP0. Now without further adieu, the knit stitch.

1. With the right needle, insert it diagonally upward from right to left behind the left knitting needle.

2. Using the yarn you knit with (the one attached to the skein of yarn) and wrap it under and around from left to diagonally downward to the right as the picture shows

4. Make sure you keep the yarn strand you knit with taut as you bring the right needle downwards and pull it out of the loop creating a new loop. Pull through the loop that is still on the left knitting needle.

5. Then slide the loop off of the left knitting needle.

  IMPORTANT! Remeber to pull each new knit stitch tightly so that the knitting stays nice and even!

And that pretty much is all there is to the knit stitch. You can now officially start knitting a scarf. Just cast on as many stitches as you want depending how thick you want the scarf and start practicing your knit stitch.
Remember practice makes perfect, so don't worry if it doesn't go well the first time.

Until the next project/tutorial
Love and Cupcakes!
