| Summary |
Packed full of helpful tips and simple projects, this is a must-have book for anyone who wants to knit but has no idea how. All the essential techniques are covered - including basic garter and stocking stitch, casting on and casting off, and increasing and decreasing - and clearly explained using step-by-step photographs and simple instructions. The designs have a timeless appeal that will delight knitters of all ages, from a fabulous stripy scarf to a gorgeous cable-knit cardigan, and there are projects for children's clothes as well as those for adults. The book is wire-bound so that it lies open while working, and a useful fold-out flap at the back that provides a quick and easy reference to all the abbreviations used in the patterns. |
