PetiteKnit as the best patterns for beginner knitters

There are so many wonderful small indie knit pattern designers out there, but I honestly think the best place to start is with PetiteKnit’s patterns. She will set you up for success.

I see sooo many people starting to knit using a We Are Knitterns kit and I cannot emphasize enough to NOT DO THIS. Their patterns are over complicated and dumbed down and you will be frustrated and not learn actually useful and common techniques.

Best case scenario: get a PetiteKnit pattern you actually like and buy the exact recommended yarn. You won’t have to figure out which materials to use (which is why people go for WAK, I think) and you’ll have a verified well written pattern. YouTube is your best friend. Once you get comfortable, you can branch out to indie designers!

Also: join Ravelry. Absolute gold star database for every knitting pattern ever.
