My suggestion: The first step is casting on. This gets the first row of stitches on the needle and no matter what you have to start here. There's a ton of variations of it, but this is a nice basic cast-on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vm6oaYzHyA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vm6oaYzHyA Cast on ~20 or so stitches and learn the knit stitch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Egp4NRhlMDg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Egp4NRhlMDg Do this for a few inches until you can repeatedly go up and down without dropping/missing stitches and your work looks uniform. You'll probably have to pull it out and start over a few times. Also, about 98% of mistakes will either be dropped stitches, or things that can be fixed by intentionally dropping stitches and picking them back up correctly so this is a useful skill to work on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9obiqiTAGNw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9obiqiTAGNw Then, do a basic 2-color scarf with the knit stitch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsmHWRIo2UI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsmHWRIo2UI At this point, you'll have the basics down and a ton of muscle memory built up which lets you get more creative. A 1x1 Knit/Purl scarf would get you into purling (the "reversed" knit stitch, useful for patterning), or I jumped straight to socks which teaches knit/purl ribbing and some basic shaping.
