I was wondering how everyone got started with knitting?

Should I just start reading the written instructions? Or what? I find it really hard. I can't understand the written instructions - I can only follow the video tutorials. But even with the videos, there are so many things I just don't get, so I really have to go and ask professional teachers for help.

But in China, there are very few girls my age who are both young and experienced in knitting. At least among my close friends, I'm probably the only one who knows how to knit. So every time I need help, I have to drive 20 kilometers to find a knitting teacher to ask questions in person, which really gives me a headache.

I wonder how everyone got started and kept going with it, and how you found your knitting buddies?

Babaa 051 pattern

Hi all. Does anyone know a decent pattern for the Babaa 051 sweater? It's made of wool which will be too itchy for me, so I want to make one that will be less offensive, sensory-wise. Id love if the neckline allowed for an off the shoulder look, too!

Thanks!

pattern with similar neckline/sleeves

looking for a pattern that could be modified to look similar to this. have looked and can’t seem to find anything:( not massively bothered about the texture/patterning on the main piece but some kind of lacework would be pretty! just looking for a v neck with 1/2 sleeves as i’m not confident in my ability to modify sleeves. i feel like i can modify the bottom to work but as close to the bolero style the better. thank you.

ISO mitten pattern

Does anyone out there know what pattern this is or know a pattern that I could use to achieve this color work? I feel like I could make my own color work chart I just don’t have a base mitten pattern to go off of to do that.

dupes?

i found this sweater on ravelry. i'm using a fingering weight yarn and just want a simple, oversized sweater like this. the pattern for this sweater specifically doesn't seem to have a version in english, and i don't know how well knitting stuff translates?

Help finding a vest pattern with steeking but no colorwork

I have found that I much prefer knitting in the round to flat and would like to try to knit a vest completely in the round. My understanding is that this would require steeking. On ravelry at least, almost every steeked vest is a (n absolutely beautiful) Shetland style with tons of color work which is a bit advanced for me. 😅 I was wondering if (a) there are any single color patterns you would recommend for beginners to steeking and/or (b) if I could follow one of the color work patterns but do it without the colorwork. Would that mess with the tension ?

Thanks ! ❤️❤️

great “bang for your buck” funky colorwork sweaters?

My husband is an absolute sucker for a fun, funky, colorful sweater. However, I’m not a super experienced colorwork knitter and he’s not big on stripes.

I’m looking for suggestions where you get the best “bang for your buck” on colorwork — in other words, designs that are simpler than they look. Maybe mosaic knitting? Intarsia color blocking?

I’m down to take on something a bit challenging — but I would not, for example, want to do stranded colorwork with more than 2 colors in a row.

Help a girl out

Any pattern recs for argylle colour work similar to these? It doesn't have to be exactly the same but have the colour work with big diamonds throughout rather than small, I don't mind changing up the shape/details if that makes sense.

I did try ravelry, insta and Google, I just can't find any like these, probably because they're from H&M/Zara (fast fashion)

Looking for similar pattern

I've absolutely fallen in love with the Saga Sweater from Fjara of Iceland. Unfortunately, they only sell sweaters, not patterns. If anyone know a pattern similar to this I'd really appreciate it:)) I love the bold colors, and the pattern of the colorwork especially.

The Fisherman’s Rib Sweater

Hi friends! I just ordered my yarn to tackle this project and after taking a deeper dive into the pattern itself, I’m worried I bit off more than I can chew.

Sooo I am looking for either one of the following-

  1. Someone who has knit this I can ask a few questions
  2. A similar looking pattern that might be a bit more clear

Thank you!!

Knitting chart help TwT

Hello lovely knitters, I have an urgent plea for you. How would you extend this pattern (https://aabharcreations.com/falling-leaves-knitting-stitch-tutorial/amp/)?

I'm trying to make a recieving blanket for my son but I can't for the LIFE of me get the math right. Ive started and frogged this thing 4 times because the stitches never matched the math I did before. I'm embarrassed how badly I've bungled this.

2nd picture is a swatch I made (to test out which pattern I liked better) but I wanted to have the finished pattern be approximately 11/12" wide. My latest math estimate made this 71 stitches but after following the pattern (I BELIEVE correctly) I came up one stitch short (3rd picture). I'm trying to have the left and right side have 6 plain stockinette stitches and the lace leaves patterning in the middle.

Do you have a program that can extend charts? Or a YouTube video that explains it? Is there something you see that I've done wrong that I can fix? Absolutely any help would be so lovely TIA

Any adversarial knitting patterns?

With the growth of surveillance cameras and facial recognition everywhere, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any adversarial knitting patterns that can disrupt recognition?

I saw one sweater pattern, but I was hoping for something more beginner-friendly, like a hat, scarf, muffler, or mask or something or even just a duplicate stitching pattern.

Sleeves top down similar to this ones

Hi! I want to knit something similar to the Daimi Sweater and I wanted to know if there's some pattern similar to this but with the sleeves knit top down and not having to do kitchener stitch. Maybe that's not possible and that's why on Ravelry every similar pattern has bottom up sleeves
Thanks in advance 🤗

Help with Pattern reading

I am currently working on the Notebook Mono sweater by Odd Row.

In the abbreviations table at the beginning of the pattern, it says that left leaning increases purlwise will be listed as “m1-l-p” however in the actual pattern one of the rows has “purl m1-l”.

Is this the same thing? Just a little confused.
