If you’re on the hunt for beginner friendly knitting patterns, then you’ve come to the right place!
There’s a famous saying that the expert in anything was once a beginner, and I couldn’t agree more! Remember that every knitter started with a single stitch, just like you. And while I learned to knit as a child, I took a long break in my teens and 20’s. When I picked up my needles again after having my own children, I felt incredibly overwhelmed while staring at patterns that weren’t written for anyone who hasn’t been consistently knitting for years! What I needed were clear instructions with pictures of how my work should look as I progressed.
So, if you’re feeling a bit intimidated as a new knitter, then I got you! The beginner-friendly patterns below will hopefully put those fears to rest. I designed each pattern to be clear and straightforward with lots of photos so that you can follow along and see what your work should look like as you go. Some of the projects even have video tutorials to guide you through the stitches. You’ll find that with each row you complete, your confidence and abilities will grow, bringing you closer to mastering the art of knitting.
