How to Knit for Beginners: iCord Edge, Garter Stitch & kfb Increase

Ready to grow your knitting confidence, one stitch at a time? In my latest YouTube video, I walk you through a few beginner-friendly techniques that will help you feel more at home with your needles—no matter where you’re at in your slowcraft journey.

In this gentle tutorial, I’ll show you:

✨ How to knit the basic knit stitch

✨ The difference between circular needles and straight needles

✨ How to create a beautiful, tidy iCord edge

✨ And how to do a simple increase using kfb (knit front and back)

These are all techniques I’m using in a brand new pattern that I cannot wait to share with you—so this is a little sneak peek as well!

This one’s perfect if you’re just getting started, or if you’ve been knitting for a wee while and want to polish your skills. My aim is to make things feel doable, not daunting—and remind you that there’s no such thing as a silly question. If there’s a technique that’s been tripping you up, let me know in the comments. I’m here to help, and chances are you’re not the only one feeling stuck.
