Beginner Knitter Checklists

Everything you need to get and learn to begin knitting.

Do you want to knit?

I can help you with that. Here’s what to do next!

Hi, I’m Lois!

My goal is to help you learn how to knit and start you off the right way on your beginner knitter journey.

I began my adult beginner knitter journey at ZERO. I soon found myself overwhelmed and frustrated. It seemed like no one was willing to make solid recommendations or show detailed steps for how to knit. So, I decided to make my own path to learn how to knit. In a little over a year, I conquered color work and knit my first sweater.


Any Way the Wind Blows Shawl FREE KAL

Any Way the Wind Blows Shawl KAL

The Any Way the Wind Blows Shawl pattern is available NOW for free on my website. Go check it out here. Includes links to tutorial videos.

The shawl is knit from the top down using a 15-stitch garter stitch tab. This adds stability to the center. The shawl has three panels of the “waves” stitch pattern that are each separated by a 5-stitch garter stitch “spine” and yarn overs. You can use stitch markers at each of these garter stitch spines to help you keep track of your yarn overs and where the wave stitch pattern begins. In addition, you may use a stitch marker on the RS of the fabric to help you easily identify the RS and WS since both fabrics are reversible.

All you need is:
-Approximately 890 yards sport weight yarn
-4 mm knitting circular needles with a 60 inch cable
-Tapestry needle
-Scissors
-Six stitch markers
OPTIONAL
-One additional stitch marker
-If you are using interchangeable knitting needles, having a 3.5 mm tip is useful

It is not necessary to match gauge.
