Learn How to Knit with mohair
New to knitting? If you've never picked up needles before, we recommend starting with our beginner video tutorials first — they'll walk you through the essential stitches step by step. Once you've got the basics down, come back here for these mohair-specific videos, where we'll show you what to keep in mind when working with this dreamy, fluffy yarn.
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. In this video we use 2 strands of MYPZ Chunky kidmohair DK held together.
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. In this video we use 2 strands of MYPZ Chunky kidmohair DK held together.
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. In this video we use 2 strands of MYPZ Chunky kidmohair DK held together.

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! In this video we use 2 strands of MYPZ Chunky kidmohair DK held together.
Tie mohair yarn together
Mix & Match colors according to your own wishes/no rules. Always use 2 strands of 2 different colors. Use different lengths for each color and tie them together. You're going to tie a lot of threads together. In this video we explain how to do that. For the color change we use a method so you don't have to weave in all the ends!
