Learning the art of cast on, is one of the important knitting instructions. To make a strong cast on all you have to do is make a slip loop over your left needle, then pass the right needle through loop, from the left to the right direction. Take the yarn under and over the right needle, then pull the yarn through the loop and take it on the left needle, by pulling the left needles through the loop in the right to left direction. You can repeat these steps to get the desired number of stitches on your left needle.

Purl stitch and the knit stitch are two of the most important stitches required for knitting. The knitting instructions for the knit stitch are simple and easy to learn. After getting the desired amount of cast on stitches, you have to insert the right needle into the first loop on the left needle, in a left to right direction, with the yarn under and over the right needles.

Then draw the yarn and let the first stitch slip off, repeat the steps until no stitches remain on your left needles. To create the garter stitch, you have to repeat the plain knitting back and forth. This creates a work which is alike on both the sides.

To learn the purling which is an important stitch you have to follow the instructions. Bring the yarn in front of the needle and pull the right hand needle in the first loop, on the left needle, in the right to left direction. Passing the yarn around the back of the right needle, draw the loop backwards to allow the stitch to slip. But always keep in mind that the yarn should be in front of the work.

Once you master these two stitches, you can also try other stitches like the stockinet stitch, just follow some knitting instructions. To produce this you have to knit the first row, purl the second and work in this order. If you use a circular needles or a sock needle you can knit continuously.
