I wanted to set out some basic knitting instructions as a refresher so here it is. Knitting is worked in rounds (the equivalent of rows in flat knitting) in a spiral.
The stitches are much the same as the baby blanket design, but the final product is nearly twice as large. These few basic knitting instructions are the foundation of any project you will ever knit. All you need to start knitting are knitting needles, yarn and good patterns or instructions.
This produces a reversible fabric with raised horizontal ridges on each side of the work. Two courses of red yarn illustrating two basic fabric types. The ability to work from either end of one needle is convenient in several types of knitting, such as slip-stitch versions of double knitting.
It will just some time at the beginning, but you will learn and get experience. Brainstorm, and figure out which way of teaching would be best for you and your students!
