As a crocheter I was so confused but I still managed to overcome that frustration of it not looking good, it was like re learning crochet again just way more complicated, great tutorial tho! 🩵🩵🩵
I was a knitter as a kid and the switch to crochet was... A process 😂... after years of crochet I've completely forgotten everything about knitting and your video has really helped
Ive been crocheting for 3yrs and finally worked up the courage to learn knitting. Your cast on is the easiest I've seen! Others look so complicated like twisty finger gymnastics 😂
Wow! I've been struggling with learning to knit. I've looked at numerous videos, bought a kit, bought two books. Nothing was clicking. Your video is the best I have seen! It makes it so easy I can't believe it. Thank you so much.
As a Crocheter this was very easy to learn, and satisfying as well, since the other tutorials were so confusing and complicated. I also love how you don't waste time talking about your family and sponsors etc., this didn't need many items as well. Love the tutorial
Wow. I can crochet pretty much anything and have always been confused by knitting. This completely changed that for me. Thanks for giving me another excuse to hoard yarn!
I also was a crocheter until I got arthritis in some of my fingers. So I'm trying knitting. So glad I found your video. Very clear instructions. Thanks.
Not sure why this works, but as a crocheter who has tried many times to knit (all unsuccessfully), this just clicked! It looks kinda wonky, but I've got ten rows already, and it's really starting to look like knitting, LOL. Thank you for making this so easy!!!!
Yes same here! I've tried to learn knitting many times, but then I learned crocheting instead. Now when I've crocheted for a few years it just clicked like you said!
I’ve been crocheting for about 4 years and I think it’s time to learn how to knit, but I also feel intimidated! Thank you for making this video! It helps so much!
THIS TUTORIAL IS SO UNDERRATED 🤩 I just started a few minutes ago and I already found out how to cast on! Your instructions are so clear and straightforward! You just earned a new sub 💕
I've been struggling!! struggling with knitting ever since i bought a pack of knitting needles last year and decided to put knitting off and focus on something im good at already which is crochet. I think the reason why this tutorial just clicked is because you explained the steps the way a crocheter would?? does that make sense lol. Thank you for this youre a life saver!! Kudos to you Xx
I've gone through 3 different knitting needles and project ideas cuz I try to learn then get frustrated then end up donating them after a few years. Hoping the motivation to knit socks keeps me with it this time!
giiirrl i tried picking up knitting a few times but it was just confusing and i couldnt really work the needles and the tread, and you just made so easier and actually doable tyyyyyy
My nan showed me how to knit over 20 years ago and I don't remember. I watched a video, supposedly for beginners but it didn't seem familiar. It seemed much more complicated. This is definitely easier and I think familiar!❤
I was trying to learn knitting since so long but always failed and thought it is not my cup of tea. But after trying from many video n short i found this n within few mins i learned.. i dont know what it is but Thank you sooo much❤️ I am a tarot reader n if in case you ever feel to take a reading plz let me know. I will do it for free for you❤️❤️❤️
OMG thank you so much. I've never unterstood how to start knitting, I've always messed up something (I'm a crocheter) and now following your video is so simple!! Thank you so much, really!
Best demonstration of the casting on and first row process… I have always been frustrated with casting on and how tight it is to work the first row off the needle. You made it simple.
Since I hated purling I always hated to the point that I used to think methods to only do circular knitting to avoid purling and one day I said to myself why I dont make small hooked tip to bamboo sticks that I bought from the store so I did a soft neck to them with sandpapering after shaping the tips with a knife. The result is easy purling with continental holding no need to do cumbersome portuguese knitting which causes irritation to my neck and feels like trapped in a machine :) and causes you sweat in hot weathers. No wrist pain with hook tips since the hooks pull the yarn and the angle of pulling the yarn is not important anymore. I am surprised why the general knitting community is so unaware of this and nobody mentions about it rather people share so so many videos on how to purl easy way with the regular dpns or circulars.
Thank you for this video! I've tried 3 different times to learn knitting (I think the two needles throw me) but I've been crocheting for over 7 years. I found it easier to manage. I'm determined to learn knitting cuz I want to make my own knit socks and love the way knitting looks! Your video helped me understand it clearly and make 2 rows. But will I stick with it? Eh. Now I gotta go crochet something so I can feel like I'm making progress 😅
Omg finally i can do cast on and knit stich😭 As a crocheter for 1 year, and try to upgrade to knitting, its sooo hard. I was stop learn several months because the knit stich it's... Make my arm tremors😂 Actually i learned it with the wrong size of knitting needle. 4 mm for beginners 😂 Now i use 6 mm. I can do knit stich easily now
i'm glad i've found this video, just one question if any of you can help here, which are better straight needle or circular ones ? which size is suitable for smn who wanna knit socks sweaters ?
Hi, 🤗, Don't forget the Scissors ✂️, in your Assesses (Knitting Tools). 🆗👍.. Happy Knitting on Sunday, too. Have a Blessed Sunday, also. 👋, Sincerely, Elsa R. 63 yrs. young/old woman. From out in California... I'm New to your Channel site. 🆒..👋, 🧶🧶🧶🧶. From some one that loves to crochet & knit (by hand), + Flatbed Knitting Machine; Embroidery; Needlepoint; Sew (by hand & by Sewing machine). That's about it, but it's a lot even for that. 👋🙂
I'm a crocheter and this was really helpful bc I wanted to learn how to knit and know I know how to knit and crochet and I really want to make a scarf of I have enough yarn (I ran out)
For those who are already comfortable with crochet and used to tensioning the yarn in your left hand, you may want to give continental style knitting a try. The style demonstrated here is English style knitting, which I did for the first 28 years of my knitting life. But the benefit of learning continental style, especially for someone who is used to the yarn being held on the left hand side, is that it is quicker than knitting in the English style.
Yes! Continental makes much more sense if you are a crocheter. Then it’s more like crochet but you just hold the left stitch (instead of the work when crocheting)
Great question! I will post a tutorial on casting off in the coming weeks but just look for a tutorial on “casting off” or “binding off” in the meantime.
Just preference. Circular is only needed when knitting something large but I like that you can’t lose one needle (which is something that would happen to me a lot).
thanks for the video! could you hold the working yarn like you hold it (wrapped around your left index finger) and go with the right needle behind the yarn and pull it trough? because its not really a smooth process when you stop, place the right needle in your left hand just to get the yarn over the needle - crocheting is such a smooth movement and i thought the same goes for knitting i tried it as i described it and it seems like the pattern is the same but all tutorials use your techniq so i am confused xD
I just can’t understand how you keep the knit onto the stitches without slipping off the needle? No hooks! Also casting on confounds me and if I make a mistake I’m lost! I also knit way too tight! But I like the fabric it makes so I will try
Hmm it’s probably too tight. You could also check out my Easiest Slip Knot tutorial. Maybe you’ve done something funky and another technique would be helpful ruclips.net/video/wjJscVtE8q8/видео.htmlsi=M0I5uj3Igp25ybuH
When I was little like in 4th grade I learned to crochet. Then I never done it again, after some years I am learning to knit, I have no idea why knitting for me is easier then crocheting. Many people say crochet is easier then knitting. Oh well.
You should have pointed out that this is for left handed people! As normally when when knitting you hold the needle with all the stitches in your right hand and work them onto the needle in the left!!
Yikes....😬 Crocheting is so fast compared to knitting! Look how long that took (I know its a beginner tutorial) so much needle work with 2 hands and 2 needles just to make one row when chaining and crocheting a starter row takes no time at all...and only 1 hook in 1 hand! 😮💨 I would love to learn knitting but I am the most impatient person so learning to knit a sweater when I could crochet it in a few days is very off-putting haha 😂 (been crocheting for over 20 years)
i’ve been crocheting off and on since i was 14-15 (i’m 27) and now i’m finally taking on the ever so intimidating art of knitting 🧶 wish me luck guys 😂😂 (also if anyone knows what brand of yarn that is.. it looks soo nice) 😊
As a crocheter I was so confused but I still managed to overcome that frustration of it not looking good, it was like re learning crochet again just way more complicated, great tutorial tho! 🩵🩵🩵

Ding ding ding!! This finally makes sense! THANK YOU!!!

Thank you so much. Your video was so easy to follow. Short and concise without a lot of extra talking . Best video by far.
Thank you so much! I’m glad it was helpful!
I cannot believe you just taught me how to knit! ❤😮

3:24 I watched it over and over again and I understood what should I do but I just can't do it myself. It's so annoying.😊
ugh same

I’m so glad!
I just found you on tiktok and then hopped on my desktop. You were suggested! Thank you for this video!
Aww thanks for watching!
Oh I do the same and the 2 sides of it are wrapped in is there any way to make it straight out

Just wanted to learn knitting gave me a mental breakdown
Same sis it's making me crazy
1:47 we gotta do that with working yarn or tail? Tail right?
No, its the working yarn not the tail
Working yarn!
Please could you do a tutorial on the pearl stitch as you mentioned here please Thankyou! Very helpful video
Great suggestion!
Thank you so much for this video!
You are so welcome!
so if i mess up on one stitch how do i undo or unravel it?
thanks for this i was confused on when sometimes i cast on it worked and sometimes it didnt
Thank you. I found your tutorial to be easy.
Glad it helped!
What's the name of the yarn you're using please, love the color
It’s The One Merino by Wool and The Gang! My favorite yarn for knitting.
Perfect! THANK YOU
Got the casting down in like two seconds, currently trying to figure out the knit stitch
May I know the size of needle hook?
Okaaaay this is soo helpful thank you ❤
But how do you get it off the needle ?
Great question! I will post a tutorial on casting off in the coming weeks but just look for a tutorial on “casting off” or “binding off” in the meantime.
What is this stitch called?? I love it and it was so fun to learn!!
Garter!
The garter is just all knits, which is what I did here
@@modern_made thank youuu sooo muchhhh!!
How to do cape
I GOT ITTTT YAYYYY
Good job!!!!
I know how to knit but I keep forgetting how to do it so I have to come back to a video every year
I know you are not alone 😂 I hope this was helpful!
is it easier to knit with straight needles or with circular needles as a beginner?
Just preference. Circular is only needed when knitting something large but I like that you can’t lose one needle (which is something that would happen to me a lot).
Cool❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
My cast ons keep on unraveling any tips on tightening cast ons???
Can I use a metal scope needle 🪡 to knit 🧶
If you try let me know how it goes 😂
thanks for the video! could you hold the working yarn like you hold it (wrapped around your left index finger) and go with the right needle behind the yarn and pull it trough? because its not really a smooth process when you stop, place the right needle in your left hand just to get the yarn over the needle - crocheting is such a smooth movement and i thought the same goes for knitting
i tried it as i described it and it seems like the pattern is the same but all tutorials use your techniq so i am confused xD
Absolutely! Thats a common technique but a lot of people struggle with not dropping their stitches. If it works for you all the more power to you!
@@modern_made thanks for answering!
nameof the yarn please
Back then when I was 9 I learned knitting first then crochet but I forgot allot of knitting when I was ten
I just can’t understand how you keep the knit onto the stitches without slipping off the needle? No hooks! Also casting on confounds me and if I make a mistake I’m lost! I also knit way too tight! But I like the fabric it makes so I will try
I can't seem to get the last stitch (the slipknot) to work like the rest of the stitches
Hmm it’s probably too tight. You could also check out my Easiest Slip Knot tutorial. Maybe you’ve done something funky and another technique would be helpful ruclips.net/video/wjJscVtE8q8/видео.htmlsi=M0I5uj3Igp25ybuH
When I was little like in 4th grade I learned to crochet. Then I never done it again, after some years I am learning to knit, I have no idea why knitting for me is easier then crocheting. Many people say crochet is easier then knitting. Oh well.
I can get through row 1 but anything after that is an absolute bust for me so far, haha
idk why but theres a long thread between my needles and the more i make stitched the longer it gets!!!
thanks you
You should have pointed out that this is for left handed people! As normally when when knitting you hold the needle with all the stitches in your right hand and work them onto the needle in the left!!
I’m actually not left handed!
I was expecting continental not English knitting as that is what is more natural to crocheters as most of us use our right hand for tension
I can't do to 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭(i try so harde)
I give up this is too hard cause it's too fast I even went back but didn't work
Imy needles are pencils
mine are chopsticks 😭
the wrapping around the hooks makes literally 0 sense
Yikes....😬 Crocheting is so fast compared to knitting! Look how long that took (I know its a beginner tutorial) so much needle work with 2 hands and 2 needles just to make one row when chaining and crocheting a starter row takes no time at all...and only 1 hook in 1 hand! 😮💨 I would love to learn knitting but I am the most impatient person so learning to knit a sweater when I could crochet it in a few days is very off-putting haha 😂 (been crocheting for over 20 years)
Yeah im giving up on trying to find a new hobby lmao
This is so slow…. We know how to crochet so obviously know how to do a slip knot
i’ve been crocheting off and on since i was 14-15 (i’m 27) and now i’m finally taking on the ever so intimidating art of knitting 🧶 wish me luck guys 😂😂 (also if anyone knows what brand of yarn that is.. it looks soo nice) 😊
All the luck to you 🍀 🍀🍀✨ It’s The One Merino by Wool And The Gang. It is a very nice yarn!
BAHAHA THATS SO MIND BLOWING IM LAUGHING AT ME
as a former crocheter, i just cant get this its like my tension is always tight but i dont understand why 🥲
Tension being super tight is so common with beginners for both crochet and knitting! Try a larger needle size and know that practice makes perfect
@@modern_made ah that makes sense thank you for the tip!!
OMG I saw your tiktoks!!! Ive never crocheted ever before or knitted! Im currently on my 3rd row!! You made this so easy thank you!!
Omg thank you! I’m glad you’re having fun!!!
