I think when people try to learn to knit they choose the wrong pattern and the wrong supplies. Like weaving, knitting is a technique for producing a two-dimensional fabric from a one-dimensional yarn or thread.
Your knitting yarn will be hanging in front. Skeins and balls are generally sold with a yarn-band, a label that describes the yarn's weight, length, dye lot, fiber content, washing instructions, suggested needle size, likely gauge, etc. If a person has never knitted before, they should start out with something smaller like a hat or a towel.
Baby blanket knitting patterns are available, and because of the square design, are quite simple for beginners. It doesn't care what month it is or what holiday is approaching, there is always something fun to knit. In knitting you are often counting your stitches and focusing on nothing more than the stitches being created and the count itself.
Once you learn the basics of knitting, you will want to continue progressing to more advanced stitches and knitting patterns. All it consists of is knitting one row, then purling the next, and so on, and so on.
