Synopsis

Designed to take you from first steps to more complex skills, this guide begins with casting on, garter stitch and casting off, then builds through 20 workshops covering shaping, lace patterns and colourwork. Clear colour artworks show how each technique is worked, and every workshop ends with a project created to practise what you have learned.

Along the way, it introduces reading patterns, joining pieces and knitting in the round, supported by an introductory section on tools and materials and a stitch reference guide for quick refreshers. Projects range from a garter-stitch table runner to a child’s jumper with intarsia, a cable-pattern messenger bag, and a textured throw with bobbles and fringing. Suitable for those starting out, as well as knitters who know the basics and want to extend their skills.
