I have been trying to teach myself to knit.
I started with a dishcloth for my first project. I made another dishcloth for my second project. For my third project I wanted to make something different.
I searched Ravelry for a project and found this great pattern for Waffle Stitch Fingerless Gloves. They are good for a beginner because they are worked flat and have a simple repeating pattern. I also knew my 10-year-old would love a pair of these!
I am really happy with how they turned out despite the small mistakes in them.
Now I just need to figure out what I will knit next!
What did you make when you were learning to knit?
I started with a dishcloth too! Then I made a waffle stitch kitchen towel, and then two scarves. The scarves were easy and satisfying, and a good place to learn how to change colours and to attempt new stitches. I really want to try making a sweater but am a little intimidated…..
I love the fingerless mitts! I was given a pair for Christmas and use them all the time when I am taking photos outside (although my fingers do get chilly, it’s a lot easier to use the camera!) Can’t wait to see what you make next!
