Knitting question!?

Question

When i cast on, I had 24, and every time i knit i seem to add a stitch. is that normal to start with 24 but after one complete row of knitting have 25?

Does anyone know what i could be doing wrong?

Answer 1

no thats not normal at all.  what your doing is adding a stitch by mistake. make sure that when you start your next row that your yarn in held under the needle and towards the back when your knitting,

here are some pictures of what im talking about.

also make sure that you knit or purl each stitch only once.
