    Good Harini - now you have a pair of needles[ what is the size] and a wollen ball. Now you can start to knit. Do you have a pattern with you to kick start a project.
    Are you familiar with the basics stitching.providing you some links from y-tube
    YouTube - ‪How to Knit - The Basics‬‏
    How To Knit The Knit Stitch (Knitting)
    There are many videos and you should be able to follow them

    you can start to practise along with the instructions. Start with your basics and then we can proceed with patterns.
    Hope this will be useful
    All the best

    Harini- while knitting ensure that the yarn is in forward position.It seems that yarn must have looped once[ like we do when we want to make one stitch]. Hence you are getting stitches increased. Since you are a beginner every time you knit keep counting the number of stitches per row. So that you can keep track of the pattern. Hope I was able to help your query. happy knitting

    CONGRATS Harini - you have picked up quickly. Now you can start on small projects like dishcloth, coasters [ for tea cups, tea pots and serving bowls. These designs are available on the net and you can save it and start a project. For beginners you can knit a hair band

    The pattern of haird band
    Cast on 6 stitches
    knit all rows [ garter stitch] till you have reaches your desired length and bind off
    Ensure that the band fits little tight into your head as knitted fabric has a tendency of stretching
    Now sew both the ends[cast on and cast off/bind off stitches
    your lovely hair band is ready

    Happy knitting
