Synopsis

Designed as a complete reference, this book brings together over 400 step-by-step photographs alongside 20 designs and extensive practical advice. It begins with the essentials, introducing tools and the range of yarns available, then builds skills through clear, photographed instructions for holding yarn and needles, casting on and off, working basic stitches, increasing and decreasing, making buttonholes and bands, and finishing neatly.

As confidence grows, it moves into more advanced methods including knitting in the round, Aran, Fair Isle, intarsia and lace, as well as loop, Shaker and slanted knitting. Guidance is also included on reading and adapting patterns, understanding patterns and abbreviations, fixing mistakes, and caring for knitted garments, with ideas for embellishment such as surface embroidery, Swiss darning, smocking, beads and sequins. Suitable for both beginners and experienced knitters.
