Let's start with some basic guidelines. Before start with a pattern as a beginner, you should know the basics, like the tip of point to point backwards. For the first, pass the needle right at the first point on the left hand needle. Now the wind to your thread on two needles cross on the right hand needle. Just gently pull through the loop. After that, slip over first original stitch left needle to right needle. Repeat the procedure until the transfer of all stitches from left needle to right needle.

Purl stitch when viewed from the wrong side of the pattern. First you have to take the yarn in front of the needle, then insert the needle in the right hand the first item in the left hand needle. Wind yarn around back of right hand needle from right to left, then just draw back loop that allows you to stitch off left needle to right hand needle. The main thing to remember about this is you have to take the yarn in front needle. Continue until all points are transferred from left needle to right needle.

There is a specific way to read the patterns. First place skill level, it can be easy, medium, hard or beginner, intermediate or above, each pattern has a specific skill level, can begin with beginners and then move to complex advanced patterns.

For medium or intermediate levels that can have patterns such as caps, sweaters and knitted scarves, usually patterns with new stitches and patterns for advanced levels, you can have patterns which are complicated and require much elaboration.

To begin you can knit a nice pashmina style stole, just with three hundred stitches, if garter stitch means points only point without reverse stitches.
