Learning how to knit is easy today with so many online resources. Knitting is worked in rounds (the equivalent of rows in flat knitting) in a spiral.

The thickness of the yarn may vary along its length; a slub is a much thicker section in which a mass of fibers is incorporated into the yarn. Before you start with a pattern as a beginner, you should know the basic stitches including the knit stitch and purl stitch. A sequence of stitches in which each stitch suspended from the next is called a wale.

Keeping the yarn at the back, bring it "over" the tip of the needle, counterclockwise. Catch the knitting yarn on the end on the right knitting needle and pull it through the first stitch to the front of the work. For large or complex patterns, it is sometimes difficult to keep track of which stitch should be knit in an particular way; therefore, several tools have been developed to identify the number of a particular row or stitch, including circular stitch markers, hanging markers, extra yarn and counters.

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. There are many knitting guilds and other knitting groups or knitting clubs.
