Knitting with mohair, step by step

● BeginnerMohair basics

Cast on stitches with mohair

Casting on is your very first step – it creates the foundation stitches you'll knit into. Once you've got the right number of stitches on your needle, you're ready to start knitting. Practice a few times until it feels comfortable; a relaxed grip makes all the difference.

Knit stitch with mohair

The knit stitch is the most basic – and most used – stitch in knitting. Master this one first, and you can already make a simple scarf. It creates a smooth "V" pattern on the front of your work.

Purl stitch with mohair

The purl stitch is the knit stitch's best friend – together, they unlock endless textures and patterns. It looks trickier at first, but it's really just the knit stitch worked in reverse. With a little practice, your hands will find the rhythm.

Bind off with mohair

Binding off finishes your work and locks your stitches in place, so they don't unravel. It's the final step for any project – simple to do, and satisfying to see your piece come together. But not too tight!

Let's get creative!

Tie mohair yarn together

Mix & match colors as you like – there are no rules. Always use 2 strands of 2 different colors. Use different lengths for each color and tie them together. You'll tie a lot of strands together, and in this video we show you how. For the color change we use a method so you don't have to weave in all the ends!
