Welcome to the Beginner Knitting Stitches collection at Oh La Lana! If you are just starting your journey or looking for the elegant simplicity of textures created using only knits and purls, you are in the right place.

Each pattern in this library includes a high-contrast chart designed for clarity and step-by-step written instructions. These stitches are perfect for building your confidence as a maker.
