🧶🐶 Knitting Tips — Page Two

Press the button and Woof narrates the tips out loud.

Woof woof!

Start with smooth yarn

Use a medium-weight smooth yarn when you are learning. Fuzzy yarn can hide the stitches and make mistakes harder to see.

Do not pull every stitch super tight. A relaxed loop is easier to move along the needle and gives your hands less work.

After every few rows, count your stitches. If the number changes unexpectedly, stop and check before continuing.

If you see a loop slipping down, stop. Use a crochet hook or the tip of a needle to gently bring it back up.

A simple marker can show where a pattern starts, where a round begins, or where you need to change what you are doing.

Knitting should not hurt. Relax your fingers, wrists, shoulders, and eyes regularly, especially during a long project.
