how to knit
You start with a slipknot.
Then you need to cast on.
The knit stitch is the easiest one to start with.
Since I'm SwedishI knit continental style, I guess it's just a matter of what you're used to. The purl stitch is also needed very often. If you have knitted a row of knit stitches you usually knit purl on the other side.
To finish it off you need to bind off.
There you go, now you know how to knit!
