Are you a beginner looking to learn how to start knitting with yarn? If so, you’ve come to the right place! This blog will provide you with different tried and true patterns that are easy enough for beginners, but still interesting and fun enough to keep even more advanced knitters engaged. Let’s get started!

Garter Stitch Pattern:

The most basic pattern for beginners is the Garter stitch pattern. It’s easy because all it requires is knowing how to knit and purl. For this pattern, you will need 2 skeins of yarn (in whatever color you like!), some size 7 needles, and a darning needle. To start, cast on 40 stitches. Work in garter stitch (knit every row) until your piece measures 10 inches long. Bind off using the knitwise method. Then use the darning needle to weave in any loose ends of the yarn. And voila! You have now completed your very first dishcloth using the garter stitch pattern.

Stockinette Stitch Pattern:

Another classic pattern that is great for beginners is the Stockinette stitch pattern. This one requires more skill than the Garter stitch pattern because it combines both knitting and purling techniques into one project; however, it isn’t too difficult for novice knitters either! For this pattern, you will need 2 skeins of yarn (in whatever color you like!), some size 8 needles, and a darning needle. To begin, cast 36 stitches onto your needles. Then work in stockinette stitch (knit 1 row, then purl 1 row) until your cloth measures 10 inches long from top to bottom edge after blocking it out into shape. Bind off by knitting two stitches together until there are no remaining stitches on your needles left. Again use the darning needle to weave in any loose ends of the yarn and you are done!

Knitting with yarn can be so much fun once you get used to it—and these patterns are a great way to get started! Whether you choose a Garter stitch pattern Stockinette stitch pattern or even Moss Stitch Pattern if feeling brave enough yet still not quite ready for intermediate-level projects just yet either—you're sure to find something that fits your skill set perfectly.
