I hope this post is okay here?

Basically I can knit, and I can purl. I can knit a long ‘thing,’ and once, using circular needles, I made a ‘tube’ but I’d like to do more

Can anyone recommend a resource, preferably written with pictures, and maybe a link to a video to progress to something more complex? (it would help if the video is simple and slow)

I would like to eventually make a sock (I must be a masochist).

The thing is I struggle to understand the ‘code’ of patterns so I need something really basic, I’m also autistic (I don’t know if that would cause issues, per-say, but thought I’d include it in order to give an overview of potential difficulties)

Thank you for any help you can offer 👍

    Hello! I’m the beginner mentioned. I started with a hat, which taught me working in the round and decreases. I think a pretty neck warmer would be useful too.

    It sounds like you have done long tail cast on so that’s good.

    Guaranteed you can do slip stitches already, even if you don’t know it.

      It is possible that I’ve already had an attempt at slip stitches, but I’m almost certain I’ve done them before (accidentally) whilst ballsing something up, lol

      Congratulations on your hat, and your socks too! Most impressive, it’s like you’ve unlocked a secret skill and can’t stop

      I think it’d be nice to make a hat to match my cowl/neck gaiter, I’ve got plenty of patterns to go through now on ravelry, so fingers crossed 😀
