If you’ve ever watched an experienced knitter work with yarn and needles, you’ve probably picked that vibe of “having it all figured out”. How do they manage to get that aura of confidence and skill? Well, by spending years practising to, in fact, “have it all figured out”. Maybe not “all”, but definitely “most of it”.

That confidence doesn’t come from learning super advanced techniques and extraordinary ways to manipulate stitches. Rather, it comes from understanding small things about yarn, stitches and the structure of the knitted fabric.

Here are the top 15 tips that will help you stop worrying about every stitch and enjoy knitting to its fullest.

I sorted them by the stages of working on a project, starting from choosing a project and finding the right yarn and moving on to improving the knitting style and working with the stitches.
