Today's the day you discover a lifelong hobby -- knitting! Learning how to knit is fun and easy with expert instruction brought to you on high-quality video. In this Annie's online video class, instructor Kate Atherley begins with the very basics, such as how to hold the knitting needles and yarn, and progresses you through all the basic stitches, casting on, binding off and easy increasing and decreasing. This class is taught in English-style knitting, but Kate also demonstrates Continental-style. Skills learned can be applied to both English and Continental knitters. Step-by-step, Kate will help you build skill upon skill to learn how to confidently knit any beginner-level pattern.

Very easy to follow instructions perfect for beginners! I am more of a crochet person normally but now I also love knitting. I think my favorite is still crochet, but now knitting is much more fun than it used to be for me. Loved it!

Fantastic class! I learned basic knitting many years ago and have forgotten most of it. This class is essential for a beginner like myself. I love the clear and easily understood manner in which the instructor introduces the class. I know I can become an accomplished knitter by following these instructions.

This is an awesome video. I'm a crocheter typically and I received a knitting kit and pattern book from my husband for valentines day, so I decided to search for some how to videos on different sites and this one was the very best I found. She is very patient and explains the steps very well.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. Though I knew some knitting basics, this thorough class gave me all that I was missing and did wrong. The instructor is excellent, explains clearly, shows how to do it and puts us to practice until it feels easy. It's a delight of a class.

Great class, great instructer! I had limited knowledge of knitting before, but I wanted to get better techniques by taking this class, and eventually take a more advanced class. I had taken a class before (not on this site) and found the instructor so wordy and boring that I couldn't complete the class! Kate was excellent and held my interest till the end. I have been strictly a crocheter for about 50 years, and now I may "cross over to the other side" and do some knitting!
