Behold, the first thing I’ve ever knitted! 🧣🤣 a scarf for my 20m old.
Defintely still a basic beginner and I’ve knitted it WAY too tight (scared to wash it) but how did I do? It’s 170 rows, 10 across, 1 ball of microfiber super chunky yarn using 8mm needles.
Starting a bigger one in purple for my 4 year old and doing it a LOT looser, my hands arent cramping this time and my finger tips aren’t sore from needlepoints 🫠 using a 9mm needle so it’s looser and will tighten up when washed.
Any advice from actual knitters? I’m just doing a basic knit stitch, I’ve watched some videos on dropping stitches to try make a hole in the middle for her to loop it through but definitely feeling out of my depth. When did it start coming naturally for you?

That’s really neat for your first go, tension comes with practice. You smashed it!
Look on YT and TikTok for tension tips xx
Oooh I love this 😍
I’ve just started knitting as well for my baby girl coming in Jan.
I made a hat but I kept dropping stitches 🥲
That looks amazing for a first project! My first scarf was different tension all over and completely uneven! Keep practicing you’ll soon be able to do it without thinking x
