Start to Knit

By Gina Macris

While there are hundreds of manuals available, addressing just about every conceivable topic, finding a really great starter's guide has been difficult... until now. Start to Knit was written entirely with the beginner in mind. It addresses anyone who has never picked up a needle or held a skein of yarn. The introduction presents the basic tools, techniques, and materials. Lessons in the fundamentals include how to hold the needle and wool, cast the first row of stitches, and knit and purl. Through beautifully photographed projects of increasing complexity, more advanced techniques, including advanced stitches, reading patterns, and taking accurate measurements, gradually unfold. With this book, really anyone can develop the skills to create a simple scarf, baby blanket, pillow cover, cardigans, and a handsome pullover complet with vee, crew, and turtleneck variations.
