Holy moly, this low-key took me an entire day to edit but she is here. I am so sorry if this one goes by really fast especially as a new knitter. I just wanted to create one video kinda giving you the run down of the basics of what you need to know, and not necessarily spend a long time on each thing.

You should do a like 'how to plan a sweater' or how to design something. You're very good at coming up with them and I'd love some tips

[dictatorchan]

I would love a knit along for beginners, how to count your stitches, how to pick up stitches, any beginner knitting stuff because I have tried so many times and cannot succeed! Your knitting is beautiful!

A how to knit a sweater 101 is highly needed for myself! I only know how to make socks 🥺

[jessalynmata]

I’ve been a crocheter for years and I used to think knitting was so difficult! You just made it so simple for my brain THANK YOU SO MUCH🙏❤️

[elizabethsalazar]

My 8 year old is teaching herself how to knit. We went through a bunch of other people and you are her favorite.

She went from crying in frustration to now proudly showing me how much she’s progressed.

Thank you for making it so simple.

I'm a self taught crocheter, I had to learn from videos and I really wanna learn to knit(badly lol) thank you for the video ❤

[laurenthaden]

The way you describe things is so refreshing!! So many knitting tutorials use super precise terminology that most people wouldn’t understand, which isn’t exactly beginner friendly. I’m definitely the kind of person that describes how I see things or how it feels to make something instead of using the precise knitting terminology. I’ve been knitting for almost my entire life and it was still so fun to watch this!

Girl the way I screemed when I saw this on my notifications.... Yassss queennn. A how to know a raglan sweater 101 will be a good idea for beginner knitters like me. This chemistry assignment gotta wait till I'm done watching this video 🤪

[notmeggybutmeg]

my friend literally just sent me needles and yarn to start and i was JUST abt to look for tutorials THANK U QUEEN

[sinemcolak]

I'm learning knitting from my mother and grandmother, when i saw the things they taught me in the video it made me happy for some reason :')

[kaedewiley]

make how to knit a sweater 101 🥺🧶 I’d love to know the general idea of how sweaters are constructed! I’ve tried multiple times to make a sweater with a pattern, but honestly just reading and knitting without knowing what’s going on is very stressful 😂

[Hippievibetribe]

So as a crocheter this video was soooo helpful. I wanted to learn how to knit but had no idea how to balance two needles and yarn. Bc in my brain you have to hold the yarn. Ya know? I have never found a video who showed the yarn without showing the yarn…if that makes sense. All the videos I have seen just assumed the yarn made sense to everyone. I love it! I can’t wait to try again

[darkhearted]

GIRL, You just made me realize why my scarves look different than the pictures of the same scarf I crocheted lol. I have a super tight tension but I didn't know that would affect the outcome. Please do more videos, I want to learn all about knitting from you, you're so informative compared to some other videos I've watched. Thank you for doing this!!!

[Bootsandcats]

You just single handedly taught me how to knit as a complete beginner, thank you

[vrcrochets]

Crochet people who came here to learn how to knit 🖐

[Vaeh_]

I know how to knit but I’m still gonna watch lol

[Imkee]

Hahaha I am actually a crochet rookie and this was like 13 times more confusing than crochet 😂😂

[ofuchi]

I made it a goal to learn how to knit after crocheting for so many years. I watched your video some days back but always got stumped. I brought my needles to work today and my boss helped me out! Pleased to say I can now cast on, knit, purl, cast off, and stockinette. I'll be trying ribbing and then some of the other stitches you mentioned. Thank you for this video!! :)

[livieegee]

I’ve been crocheting for a month now and want to knit. I literally started learning last night. Your video is really helpful and you’re not confusing at all. Great explanations

[bruh-igms]

You are so, so thorough and patient!! I haven’t seen knitting videos as easy to follow or as honest, and don’t worry- you don’t look silly! This video is lovely, and I’m living for those pink vibes! You are doing AMAZING, and don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise! Sending my love and good vibes your way!
