With the garter stitch you obtain a resistant and elastic yarn, which does not curl.It is ideal, for example, for making garments such as scarves.Regardless of what you want to create, the garter stitch is a basic stitch used by many beginner knitters, and learning it will definitely come in handy.

If you're learning to knit, thicker needles and chunky yarn will make it easier.If you are working with finer yarn and needles, try to keep the stitches loose, to give you enough wiggle room.
You can choose between Continental and English style.Try them both when you're starting out and see which one you feel better with.These are English style knitting instructions, but can easily be adapted to Continental style.
Insert the tip of the right needle into the first stitch of the left one, so that the right needle crosses the left one from behind.
Hold the thread tightly in your right hand, wrap it, counterclockwise, around the tip of the right needle, so that it remains between the two needles.
Begin to delicately insert the tip of the right needle into the first stitch facing you, bringing with it the one you created on the needle.
Don't pull too hard, or you will slip the right needle completely.
Proceeding very carefully, slide the new stitch onto the right needle so that the old stitch on the left comes off. Pull the thread well after each stitch, so that they all fit firmly on the needle, but not so tight that you can't thread them with the other one.
Follow the same process with all the other stitches cast on.
Now you can start working the second row, exactly as you did with the first.By doing this you will obtain the garter stitch.

Warnings

The number of stitches on each needle must always be the same.If you realize you have a few extra stitches, the mistake was probably made at the beginning of the row.The first shirt (like all the others) should have a "choker" just underneath, with the ball of yarn coming down from the center of the crewneck.However, if you have fewer stitches, you may have "lost" them or slipped them on by mistake.
