I think when people try to learn to knit they choose the wrong pattern and the wrong supplies. I have chosen the following pattern samples because they are the easiest patterns for a beginner knitter.
Your knitting yarn will be hanging in front. These usually utilize the basic stockinet stitch, which makes them ideal for beginners. The lower red course is knit into the white row below it and is itself knit on the next row; this produces stockinette stitch.
Depending on their size and shape, the rigid frames are called knitting boards, knitting rings (also called knitting looms) or knitting spools (also known as knitting knobbies, knitting nancies, or corkers). A wale can split into two or more wales using increases, most commonly involving a yarn over. Fabrics in which the number of knit and purl stitches are not the same, such as stockinette, have a tendency to curl; by contrast, those in which knit and purl stitches are arranged symmetrically (such as ribbing, garter stitch or seed stitch) tend to lie flat and drape well.
You also will usually want to stick with chunky yarns (this is a good use for "novelty" yarns, which have lots of texture and are usually thick but also light and fluffy), since they knit up quickly so you can make more presents. Even if you're a pretty proficient knitter, this isn't the time to learn a new technique or work with a skinny fingering-weight yarn that will take forever to knit up.
