Whether you are a beginner knitter or a seasoned veteran, it is always a good idea to brush up on skills or learn new stitches and methods. The knitting community is very generous and there are several amazing knitting classes offered online for free. We compiled a list of our favorites.

The classes start with knitting terminology and basic supplies and finish with knitting your first pattern. The class includes a manual, several videos, and step by step instructions.
