Knitting Mastery For Beginners

I'll help you learn the foundational secrets of knitting with this joyful and easy-to-follow course. This took me decades to learn and I'll be sharing all my experience.

What will you learn?

This multi-part knitting course takes students from novice to advanced through interactive, hands-on video lessons. The pace of the course is designed for beginners so you'll easily be able to follow along.


This online knitting course lets you learn to knit by establishing the fundamentals, giving you practical advice, to get you practising straight away. This includes topics such as: how to knit, how to read patterns, and how to care for hand knits.

Introduction to knitting

To the untrained eye wool is wool, but if you’ve ever stepped into a wool shop you may well have been overwhelmed by choice. It can be hard to differentiate between the vast array of needles, yarns, and notions (accessories), which can be enough to frighten anyone off. The course guides students through some popular types of needles, yarns, and notions, so that they can begin practising, without worrying about their choice of materials and equipment.

"Really fantastic course! I already had some basic knitting experience but it has been helpful to be refreshed on beginner knitting knowledge and then to learn a whole range of new skills. The videos are thoroughly explained and Amy is great at helping you progress your knitting skills at a steady pace! I feel a lot more confident in approaching any level of knitting now! Definitely recommend."

Techniques from beginner to advanced

The course expands on the 4 basic processes from showing how combing knits and purls in different ways make different fabrics, with how to create the 3 basic/foundation fabrics explained here, these being: garter, stocking, and rib, along with additional techniques.


While what has been learned so far enables students to knit flat items in square and rectangular shapes, the course imparts essential techniques that will enable the apprentice knitter to design in various shapes, work in 3 dimensions (such as making socks or the top of a jumper sleeve), and correct their mistakes. The techniques taught include: increases, decreases, picking up stitches, knitting in the round, joining yarns, and fixing mistakes.

Getting to know the lingo

Knitters speak in their own language, so trying to trying to understand the knitting patterns they create can be like trying unlock a cipher. Fortunately this course helps with clearing up the jargon and giving students a full understanding of how to read and follow knitting patterns.

Hands on projects

The first project in this course focuses on scarf design, taking students through the various knitting methods, yarn choices, and tension, measurements, and yarn amounts, before discussing the considerations to make when designing a scarf. The section concludes with a project to follow: making a lightweight summer scarf, along with some tips on scarf design.


The later section guides students through creating baby blankets and afghan blankets. As easy to make as scarves, though taking a lot longer to create, these items can be as simple or complex as you wish. This section teaches you the how; through discussions on yarn choices, and tension, measurements, and yarn amounts, along with design information on creating your item with an all-over pattern or a pattern made from individual blocks.

"I have enjoyed this course so much! All the lessons have been so well explained and have made me feel confident enough to try it all out. Thank you so much Amy, you are such a great teacher and I’m so glad I signed up for your course. Her videos are so cosy it feels like I’m sitting with a friend as shes teaching me each step. Would recommend to any one wanting to learn knitting!"
