With this project, you'll get to practice the most basic stitch—the garter stitch—along with two essential skills: casting on and binding off.

These three fundamentals—cast on, knit stitch, and bind off—are the building blocks of nearly every knitting project. Once you’ve got them down, you’ll be set up for success in everything you knit going forward. A simple dish cloth is the perfect way to learn and build confidence.
