There is a lot of confusion from beginners on this, if you want to create a V shape knitted fabric as shown in my sample here you need to do one row of the knit stitch shown in this tutorial followed by one row of the purl stitch, then back to a knit row etc. Repeating this knit stitch continuously will not create the V traditional fabric design called stocking stitch, but rather a fabric called garter stitch. This tutorial is purely to show you the knit stitch and I should've shown you on a garter swatch because this seems to have caused undue confusion.

I'm 11, i started crocheting when I was 10. One day i saw my grandmother knitting creations so, when I went yarn shopping i bought knitting needles and I tried knitting for the first time, I saw happy berry knitting. I learned how to cast-on, the k stitch and other stitches from this channel. Thank you happy berry knitting ☺️ and also your crochet channel taught me alot of things 💕💕

That tip to push up the right needle when you pick up the stitch is super simple, but so helpful. It’s saved me a ton of aggravation and helped me to me figure out my stitch tension problem. Thanks!!

thank you, just started knitting (long time crocheter though :)) and could not get the hang of it until I watched your video, I still think my stitches look odd, but hey it's progress

She only showed half of the process. You have to knit one row and purl the next to create the v stitch. Continue the every other row and you will have one side that is v stitch and one side that looks like purl (garter) stitches.

@EdsGurlMitsuki

You can also alternate knitting every other row left handed for this stitch. That's what I assumed you did when I was first learning and hadn't even heard of purling until I had already completed multiple scarves and similar projects.

LOVING THESE VIDEO's on beginner's knitting! You have great patience in teaching! Thank you!

Thank you so much!! I've literally never knit before but have a beautiful row of knit and purl stitches now!! back to the knit stitch video! this scarf is gonna take forever but I'll be in surgical recovery for 2 more weeks so this will keep me busy and happy :)

I have not knit for years and forgot how to purl. Your video on that was the best and clearest I found. Thank you for using your God given talent to teach. You are very clear and it is so greatly appreciated!

Thank you!! I was having so much trouble figuring out why I was having trouble and other videos didn’t talk about flicking off that loop. Thank you for helping me do my first knit stitch!

When I first started crotchet almost three years ago I watched all of your beginner tutorials. Since then I’ve come a long way with crotcheting, so I decided to give knitting a try and as soon as I recognized you while looking for beginner tutorials I got so excited because I know you’re a great teacher ^_^

Oh thank you! This is the best video I found online for knitting and purling basics. I also find your voice incredibly soothing, the red yarn cheerful, and the instructions clear and precise. You have added a little joy to my life, thank you.

I've watched and rewatched several different videos on casting on, knit, and, purl. I think yours are my favorite so far

You explained so well and at such a good pace. I crochet and finally trying knitting, you make it seem doable.

This is the first video to help me. The part where you say we need to catch the needle behind is what I never understood but now I'm finally knitting!

You're the best teacher ever in the world 🌎🌎🌎

THANK YOU SO MUCH! i’ve watched like 5 videos before that to learn how to do this stitch and yours is the only one that worked

I’ve watched so many knitting tutorials but yours are the only ones that make sense to me! Thank you so much for this!

Ok, so I watched several vids. I’m a lefty so was trying lefty vids. This video is the only one I was finally able to grasp. I’m knitting, it’s fairly awful looking for my 1st go at it, but I’m pressing on to improve and to get better at my tension. Maybe I’ll frame it lol. I’m 46, only ever crocheted. I just learned to knit! Thank you!!

Thank you so much! You are so great, after having watched many other videos, I finally got it after watching yours.

me at the beginning: this is going to be easy how hard can it be me half way through the video with a clumped up mess on my knitting needles: i cant do this anymore

Just recently got some needles and this is the first video that make it click for me, thank you!

Oh my god thank you! You explained it so well, you where not too fast and you showed what you were doing the best you could! Amazing! Helped me so much. I started a scarf and I took a long brake but I forgot how to do it! Now I know!

Thank you for breaking down how to do this, it’s been EXTREMELY helpful

I've been trying since I was like 10(I'm 21 now) to learn how to knit. Your videos are the first to make sense to me so thank you 😁😁

Omg...I can crotchet but know no single thing about knitting until I came across this video. Your such a great teacher, Thank you 💕

OMG thank you so much! I literally spent a night watching other videos but couldn't seem to get it. as soon as I saw yours it's like a lightbulb lit up! you just made my day! :)

thanks for this tutorial!!!!! very easy to follow! I was worried for a while I would have to find an in-person class to learn but then i found you and im not worried anymore!!!

Thank you for teaching knitting so well. This is the only one that has the most clear instructions.. i found your crochetting channel and then found this. Such simple and easy instructions.

I can't even thank you enough. I have watched SO many videos and could not get it. I watch yours and I'm doing it!

Everything feels so fiddly and I’ve restarted so many times but your voice is so calming it’s really therapeutic 😊Thank you for this very helpful tutorial.

I just started to try knitting and I found this very helpful. Thank you!

This video saved me from snapping my knitting needles in half! I was so frustrated trying to learn off of other videos. This is the one that finally clicked. Great teacher.

Thank you so much! You helped me understand how to knit and I’m practising ❤️

Back from Joanne's used a 40 and 60% off coupon got me some bamboo needles and bulky thread. And I got it now. I wasnt pulling the right loop off the left needle to the right needle.. your HD vid got me knitting!

i have been trying to figure out how to knot for a while and your videos are the only ones that have made that happen :) thanks!

Thank you for this tutorial, it took me awhile but I’m finally getting it😁

Oh, cool! I've been wanting to learn how to knit for ages. Thanks for the quick tutorial, definitely gonna give it a try!
