Knitting involves creating loops or stitches out of yarn that are interlocked using knitting needles. It is very similar to crocheting, which consists of loops of yarn pulled through other loops. Knitting uses a single piece of yarn to create a finished product, such as a hat or sweater. This page collects the best online video resources that will give you an overview on knitting techniques. For more thorough instruction, you can try Mahalo's page on How to Knit.
