One of the most important things to learn when you're first starting out is how to knit stitches. Stitches are the building blocks of all knitted fabrics, and there are many different types of stitches that you can use to create different looks and textures.

In this guide, we'll teach you how to knit the most basic stitches, including the knit stitch and the purl stitch. We'll also show you how to combine these stitches to create more complex patterns.

The Knit Stitch

The knit stitch is the most basic stitch in knitting. It's created by wrapping the yarn around the right-hand needle and pulling it through the loop on the left-hand needle.

Here are the step-by-step instructions for knitting a knit stitch:

1. Hold the left-hand needle in your left hand and the right-hand needle in your right hand. 2. Insert the right-hand needle into the next stitch on the left-hand needle from front to back. 3. Wrap the yarn around the right-hand needle from back to front. 4. Pull the yarn through the loop on the left-hand needle. 5. Slip the old loop off the left-hand needle.

The Purl Stitch

The purl stitch is the second most basic stitch in knitting. It's created by wrapping the yarn around the left-hand needle and pulling it through the loop on the right-hand needle.

Here are the step-by-step instructions for knitting a purl stitch:

1. Hold the left-hand needle in your left hand and the right-hand needle in your right hand. 2. Insert the left-hand needle into the next stitch on the right-hand needle from back to front. 3. Wrap the yarn around the left-hand needle from front to back. 4. Pull the yarn through the loop on the right-hand needle. 5. Slip the old loop off the right-hand needle.

Combining Knit and Purl Stitches

Once you've mastered the knit and purl stitches, you can start to combine them to create more complex patterns.

One of the most popular patterns is the garter stitch. Garter stitch is created by knitting every row. This creates a fabric that is thick and stretchy.

Another popular pattern is the stockinette stitch. Stockinette stitch is created by alternating rows of knit and purl stitches. This creates a fabric that is smooth and drape
