    Knitting patterns for beginners

    Önling has a large selection of knitting patterns for beginners, with patterns aimed for the new knitter. Amongst others, we have developed our own beginner-friendly knitting collection called ‘Easy Peasy’. All patterns are written in a beginner-friendly language without abbreviations and with videos support for all techniques, so you can always find help. These easy knitting patterns are perfect for your basic wardrobe, and you can without a doubt find your new favorite sweater. 

    Easy knitting patterns - start with a dishcloth ...

    In addition to our beginner knitting patterns for clothing such as sweaters, jumpers, vests, baby knits, etc., we have also made some super simple and classic patterns for dishcloths, which are easy to knit. Dishcloths are a good starting project if you have never knitted before, as they are good to practice on, and can be used and bring joy even if the result is a little off. If you knit your dishcloths in organic cotton, you also take good care of the environment as you get better, as knitted cloths can replace many disposable cloths with microplastic. We always recommend Krea Deluxe Organic Cotton for dishcloths, it is high quality and available in a number of beautiful colors.

    ... And next step is a sweater!

    Once you have knitted a few cloths, and have worked up the courage for a larger project, you can find beginner-friendly patterns for a sweater or a slipover vest. On the page above, you can choose to see knitting patterns by category, and you can, for example, choose to see easy knitting patterns for sweaters. Here you will find the easiest of them all 'Easy Peasy Basic sweater' or our Easy Peasy Raglan Sweater, which is written for beginners so you can learn the basics of making a handknitted sweater. The pattern contains references to help videos that show you each techniques as you need them. We can also recommend reading our blog post about a "Good Beginner Knitting Projects - the guide" if you want tips for choosing the right knitting project or the blog 'How to knit a sweater - 7 tips when you want to knit your first sweater ever

    Beginner knitting patterns from other designers 

    In addition to our own series for beginners, we also offer both knitting patterns and knitting kits from other designers. Among these, you'll find PetiteKnit, who is behind several beginner-friendly knitting patterns, including Novice sweater and the Oslo hat. PetiteKnit is known for her easy and simple knitting patterns for new knitters, and she has teamed up with Kimmie Munkholm who provides expert guidance with Youtube videos to show all the knitting techniques that she uses. In addition, we have trendy patterns from Spektakelstrik, which also makes some beautiful designs. Here, the popular Saga Vest can really be recommended, as it caters to the beginner and Spektakelstrik has posted videos on YouTube that help you all the way. 

    We help finding the right yarn 

    We want to make it as easy as possible for you to get off to a good start with your first knitting project, and therefore we have made knitting kits for beginners for all the patterns above. A knitting kit contains a knitting pattern and lovely yarn that fits the pattern, in the right amount and just the color you choose. With a knitting kit, you do not have to worry about yardage or finding yarn that fits the pattern - we have done all that for you. All you have to do is choose the color(s) yourself, and then both pattern and yarn will be delivered to your door step.
