What stitch should I learn first? Start with the basic knit and purl stitches — they form the foundation for most knitting patterns.
How do I fix common mistakes? Learning to unpick rows (frogging) and fix dropped stitches early will save lots of frustration. Practice makes perfect!
What yarn is best for beginners? Smooth yarn in a light colour helps you see stitches more clearly. Wool blend DK or Aran is ideal.
Can I knit without a pattern? Yes! Start with simple scarves or blankets to practice tension before moving to structured garments.
