Lesson 1Texture and simple pattern motifs achievable with two needles (eyelets, slipped stitches, cable basics for narrow pieces)Find simple but strong textures and motifs wey work good on two needles, like eyelets, slipped stitches, and basic cables for narrow things like headbands, mitts, and scarf edges.

Decide when to use long-tail, knitted-on, cable, provisional, or tubular for hats, scarves, cowls, and other accessories.

Practice wet and steam blocking, pinning shape, and light pressing so accessories hold shape, drape good, and show stitches clear.

Practice standard, stretchy, elastic bind-offs, plus three-needle for strong joins on shoulders, cowls, and fold or double edges.
