Hi, I'm Jewell ♡

From novice
to know how

I didn't become a better knitter by just learning more complicated techniques. I became a better knitter when I started understanding the basics.

By taking time to explore how simple stitches create fabric, I developed the kind of knitting know-how that doesn't come from rushing through projects.

That's the purpose of this sampler: to help you build confidence through understanding, beginning with three foundational fabrics every knitter should know.

What's inside your sampler

01

Stockinette

The smooth, classic fabric found in countless sweaters and accessories.

02

Garter

A textured fabric that lies flat and creates a soft, squishy feel.

03

Ribbing

A stretchy, structured fabric often used for cuffs, collars, and hems.

Knitting texture

includes my guided video tutorial as you learn the Long Tail Cast-On, knit stitch, purl stitch, and three foundational fabrics.
