Step-by-step guide for beginners

This tutorial will walk you through the steps to knit wrist warmers. The following steps are simple and easy to follow, ideal for beginners who are interested in knitting.

Step 1: Cast on

Casting on is the basis of every knitting project. For wrist warmers, a simple cast on is usually used. Here is a short guide:

material	Crowd
knitting yarn	50-100 g
knitting needles	4-5 mm
number of stitches	30-40 (depending on size)

Wrap the yarn around your thumb and make a loop.
Pull the thread through the loop.
Repeat this until the desired number of stitches are on the needle.

Step 2: Knit the basic pattern

After the stitches have been cast on, knitting the basic pattern begins. A simple right-left pattern is suitable for beginners.

type of pattern	Description
right knitting	Each stitch is knitted on the right.

Continue until the desired length is reached (approx. 15-20 cm is ideal for wrist warmers).

Step 3: Cast off the stitches

Binding off is the last step to complete the project. It ensures that the work does not unravel.

Knit the first two stitches.

Continue until all stitches are cast off.
Cut the yarn and pull it through the last stitch to secure it.
