I think when people try to learn to knit they choose the wrong pattern and the wrong supplies. In very simple cases, knitting can be done without tools, using only the fingers to do these tasks; however, knitting is usually carried out using tools such as knitting needles, knitting machines or rigid frames.
In the simplest knitted fabrics, all of the stitches are knit or purl; these fabrics are denoted as stockinette and reverse stockinette, respectively. Cable patterns are made by permuting the order of stitches; although one or two stitches may be held by hand or knit out of order, cables of three or more generally require a cable needle. Notice that the American measurement has low numbers for needles with smaller diameters , and the numbers can go up to 50 for a larger diameter like 25 mm, while the British measurement has high numbers for low diameters and the numbers decrease when it comes to high diameters like, for example, 000 for knitting needles of 10 mm , Therefore, you need to look up a knitting needle conversion chart to ensure you end up with the correct needle size.
However, such circular wales are possible using Swiss darning, a form of embroidery, or by knitting a tube separately and attaching it to the knitted fabric. It is also best to use the basic knitting stitches, just knit and purl until you are use to knitting. Whereas the second crochet hook is used for skipped, or drooped stitches specially stitches like tufting.
Once you learn the basics of knitting, you will want to continue progressing to more advanced stitches and knitting patterns. So, if you want to slow down, and find meaning in your life again, try knitting.
