MY FIRST PROJECT! A BEANIE!
As a first project it seems like a lot, but it’s really not. When you’re done you feel like you can make just about anything because knitting starts to make much more sense! There are two ways to make a beanie. One is from the top to the bottom, and the other way is to do exactly the opposite. I started from bottom to top. It’s much easier when beginning to knit or re-teach oneself to knit. Most patterns will require you to start at the bottom. These are the beanies I made. I bought the yarn at Wal-Mart and had enough of it to make three beanies. It is all one string of yarn; the colors change every few inches on the string so it has a cool effect once you knit with it. Like camouflage.
This beanie pattern was from my grandma; it’s the same one she uses. This beanie is a great first-time project. It will teach you most things you need to know about knitting overall.
BABY BOOTIES
You will need: 190 yards or so for two booties. Any color. Size 4 US circular knitting needles. I haven’t tried it with straight double pointed needles yet. You will need the pattern or instructions on how to bind off if you don’t know how and a blunt needle to stitch up the sock when you’re done.
SWATCH BANGLES
These are super easy and super fun. The next time I teach someone how to knit, this is what I will teach them to make. Check out the one I made below!

This is the free pattern I followed by See Mi Knit.
FINGERLESS GLOVES
These are as fun to make as socks are. Here is the free pattern by Knitting at KNoon that I followed.
I used circular knitting needles, but any method you prefer will work just fine.
I even made another pair with a ribbing pattern on the cuff!
