Hiii! Crocheter here, I recently got a knitting kit by accident because I thought it was a crochet kit, and now I’m here watching beginner tutorials on YouTube. I’m struggling, and was looking for any tips that any knitters may have! Please send help and prayers!

There are multiple ways to hold your yarn when you knit and one of the ways that is easier to learn when you know how to crochet is continental style. Knitting on circular needles is also easier to maneuver because it feels like holding a crochet hook

I think it does because there are many different knitting styles from english (right handed) to continental (left handed) etc
