Knitting Video.
Basics and advanced technique.

A knitting video is a good way to learn basics. Especially if it has clear and comprehensive presentation like Yahoo!videos collected on this page. Step-by-step they show you the very basics of the knitting process:

• Casting-on: How to start the first row of knitting.
• The knit stitch: the first stitch any knitter starts to learn.
• The purl stitch: second the most important stitch to learn.
• Binding off: how to finish a knitting project.

After you follow each video from the very beginning to the very end, you will be able not only to start and finish a simple small rectangular which is shown in the videos, but will have enough skills for any of the projects listed below also. You don't need to know any additional information in order to knit: a scarf, a blanket, a simple summer top or something similar.

For more complicated knitting projects where process of knitting requires to change a shape of a fabric, more advanced technique is necessary.
