BEGINNER'S TOOL KIT PINS Plastic-head pins are useful for checking tension and blocking out items. Pins with coloured heads are best because they do not get lost in your work. ROW COUNTER A row counter is helpful for keeping track of rows worked, particularly where increases, decreases or other kinds of patterning occur.

STITCH GAUGE A stitch gauge is a flat piece of metal or plastic with a ruler marked on one side and/or a window cut out in the centre. It allows you to mark and measure easily and accurately. KNITTING NEEDLES Knitting needles are made from plastic, aluminium or wood and come in…
