Tips & Hints
Stockinette stitch is the most common stitch pattern in knitting. The right side of the fabric is the Knit side.
Leave a 6” yarn end before casting on stitches and after binding off.
Use the yarn needle to weave these ends on neatly on the wrong side of the fabric in a zig-zag pattern for a few inches, and then trim off excess.
A Yarn Needle is a blunt-tipped needle with a large eye that will accommodate many different sizes of yarn.
To thread yarn into the needle: fold the yarn end over the eye section of the needle and squeeze it lightly between 2 fingers; withdraw the needle from your fingers, push the open side of the eye down over the yarn that is still squeezed between your fingers – the yarn should slip easily into the eye.
