If you’re just learning to knit, you may be overwhelmed with so many pattern options. There are so many amazing patterns out there, so how do you know what to look for?  

First is skill level. Patterns with an easy or beginner skill level will be better choices for your project. 

The next thing you can do is to look for a kit. When you purchase a kit it will come with the yarn you need for the project, as well as the pattern. If you already have your hook or needles you’ll have everything you need. 

Below we’ve listed some of our best beginner patterns for you.
