Pocket Book Of Knitting

Perfect for complete beginners, this book breaks down everything you need to know about knitting:

• how to read a ball band

• how to get tension correct

• how to choose needles and yarns

• how to cast on and how to read abbreviations and knitting patterns

The book is structured as a simple 3-step course that will help you progress from bronze to gold as your skills and confidence grow. Start with the basic stitches and simple joining, build up a few more stitches for your collection, then finally add in some simple shaping and some pompoms. Before you know it you’ll be knitting a garter stitch scarf, herringbone stitch blanket and a loop stitch cushion.
