• How to cast on with the long tail cast on

• How to make a knit stitch

• How to make a purl stitch

• How to cast off

• Terminology needed to look up these skills online or in books

• The most useful books to have access to when learning to knit

• What’s next? We will provide information on where to look when ready to take knitting beyond dishcloths.
