	Once you have your supplies, you can ~~follow these steps~~ to ~~learn how~~ to ~~knit:~~		Once you have your supplies, you can begin by casting on stitches. This means creating a loop of yarn on your knitting needles. To do this, hold your knitting needles together in your left hand, with the point of the right needle facing you. Wrap the yarn around the right needle, then insert the right needle into the loop on the left needle. Pull the yarn through the loop, creating a new loop on the right needle. Repeat this process until you have the desired number of stitches.

			Once you have cast on stitches, you can begin knitting them together. To do this, insert the right needle into the first stitch on the left needle, then wrap the yarn around the right needle. Pull the yarn through the stitch, then slip the stitch off the left needle. Repeat this process until you have completed all of the stitches.

			As you knit, you will need to keep track of the stitches on your needle. You can do this by using a stitch marker, which is a small piece of plastic or metal that you can place on the needle to mark the beginning of a row. You can also use a piece of yarn to mark the beginning of a row.

	~~1. Cast on stitches. This means creating the initial loops on your~~ knitting ~~needle. There are many different ways to cast on stitches, but the most common method is called the knit cast on.~~		Once you have finished knitting a row, you will need to turn your work. To do this, bring the yarn forward over your right shoulder, then insert the right needle into the first stitch on the left needle. Pull the yarn through the stitch, then slip the stitch off the left needle. Repeat this process until you have completed the row.
	~~2. Knit one row. This means creating~~ a ~~single~~ row ~~of knit stitches~~. To do this, ~~you will need to:~~
	* Insert your right~~-hand~~ needle into the first stitch on ~~your~~ left~~-hand~~ needle.
	* Wrap the yarn around the needle.
	* Pull the yarn through the stitch ~~on your left-hand needle.~~
	* Slip the stitch off the left~~-hand~~ needle.
	3. Repeat ~~steps 2 and 3~~ until you ~~reach the end of~~ the row.
	~~4. Turn your work. This means flipping your knitting so that the wrong side is facing up.~~
	~~5. Knit the next row. This means repeating steps 2 and 3.~~
	6. Continue knitting rows until you reach your desired length.

	~~Once you have finished knitting your project~~, you will ~~need~~ to bind off the stitches. This means creating a neat edge on your work. There are many different ways to bind off stitches, but the most common method is called the knit bind off.		Knitting is a skill that takes practice to master. However, with a little patience, you will be able to create beautiful knitted items in no time.
