Welcome to the first video tutorial here on Coffee Tea Knits. The knit stitch and how to tink (knit spelled backwards) or unravel that stitch is shown in the two videos below.

The Knit Stitch:

• Insert the right knitting needle from back to front of the first stitch on the left knitting needle.
• Take the working yarn around the top of the right needle and wrap it between the two needles on top of the first stitch
• Catch and pick up the working yarn loop (the new stitch) with the right needle
• Slip the first stitch off the left needle and onto the right needle for the new knit stitch

Tink (to undo or unpick the knit stitch):

• Insert the left knitting needle into the v – shaped stitch below the first stitch on the right needle
• Catch the left strand of the v – shaped stitch with the left needle and slip it onto the left needle
• Pull the first stitch on the right needle off the needle
• Pull the working yarn (loop) out of the stitch now on the left needle
